Department Goals aligning with the QEP
1. Utilize research literacy skills to locate and use seminal literature in the field. Students in CSD programs will be required to use reliable databases to search journals and other peer reviewed literature for seminal resources pertaining to topics in the field of speech-language pathology and audiology. Students will then use this information to write research papers, determine the efficacy (EBP) for assessment/treatment strategies, and/or formulate a literature review to support a research question/hypothesis.
2. Develop and carry out a research proposal with a faculty mentor. Select undergraduate students and all graduate students in CSD will develop a research proposal investigating a topic of interest. The students will work closely with a faculty mentor during the execution of the research proposal. The students will write up the results of the proposal in preparation of disseminating the research study in a public setting.
3. Submit research project for presentation in a peer reviewed forum. Students who participate in faculty mentored research will submit their project for presentation in a peer reviewed forum. Traditionally, this forum is the Texas Speech-Language-Hearing Association Annual Convention held each spring. Other forums are available depending on the nature of the research project.
