Considerations on undergraduate computer science research

Research constitutes an intrinsic part of the intellectual activity of any faculty. Many times, however, heavy teaching loads and lack of incentives (such as institutional support and time releases) negatively affect the faculty's research work. Often, the knowledge level required in the research also limits the involvement of undergraduate students. Nevertheless, computer science faculty find innovative ways to attract the students and to extract benefits.
