Importance of research experience for undergraduates

APS statement http://www.aps.org/policy/statements/undergraduate.cfm?utm_source=APS+Physics+Main+Group&utm_campaign=4e10c4cd43-Undergrad_research_statement&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_825303224b-4e10c4cd43-106550385

"Research experiences provide students with skills in problem definition, project design, open-ended problem solving, use of modern instruments and techniques, data collection and analysis, analytical and computational modeling, and communication of evidence-based technical arguments. These skills are of great value to students as they go on to engage in future scientific enterprises and positively impact the overall economic and social well-being of the nation. Participation in research has been shown to increase retention in STEM degree programs, support students’ decisions to pursue STEM careers, and enables students to more effectively transition from the classroom to professional practice."
