Research Program for High School and College Students
The student research program, organized by the California Association of Science and Management (CASM), provides a professional platform for university and high school students in the United States to enhance their research skills and academic abilities.
Research areas
The program covers two major areas: STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) and Social Science. In the STEM field, students can explore topics related to engineering, biology, computer science, and electronics engineering. The social science field encompasses subjects such as economics, business, management, and leadership.
Empowering Student Researchers
The student research program has been conducted biannually since 2019, and it has successfully organized nine(9) sessions to date. An academic team composed of expert professors from the association leads students in the design and execution of the entire research project. By participating in scientific research, students can enhance their research skills and demonstrate a dedicated attitude toward their academic pursuits. Furthermore, the program offers valuable opportunities for students to establish connections with university professors, laying a foundation for future academic advancement and career planning.
