Recently, the development and implementation of Course Based Undergraduate Research Experiences (CUREs) has blossomed and these are seen to provide many benefits for students compared to traditional expository labs including exposing them to real-world applications, allowing them to experience numerous aspects of the research process and enhancing critical thinking. Many of these CUREs are designed for upper level undergraduates yet there are many benefits and additional challenges to developing similar experiences for introductory college level laboratories including resources, student knowledge and often the fact that these are the largest enrolled classes in a department. This symposium should provide a venue for those who have developed or are working on introductory class CUREs to share various aspects of their own CUREs whether it be the topics investigated, novel pedagogy or the means of implementation for larger classes and to provide inspiration for those thinking about developing their own in the future.
