Most of the education project topics for undergraduates proffer practical teaching guides and method for trained teachers who have been well equipped for the classroom. But aside from the fact the education is a field of academic discipline; this article particularly wishes to use the term education operationally by way of using education as in academics.

Education, as an area of human endeavor has its yokes and burdens which everyone who passes through it must bear. One of which is research projects. The research projects are first approached with the necessity of the education project topics approval and later amplified with other items in the table of content for elaborate analysis and scope.

By giving elaborate analysis to their research through the data they have gathered, undergraduates are exposed to diverse experiences through experimentation, observation, interviews, content analysis, case study, surveys and others too numerous to mention. Putting aside this widely known kind of exposure, there are series of knowledge and practical based insight that students learn while undertaking their undergraduate research project from the point of choosing their education project topics to the end of their research.

So, what do education projects help students learn big?

The following are what undergraduates learn indirectly while undertaking their research projects;

• Personal driven learning

• Problem solving skills

• Critical thinking

• Public speaking skills and project defense mechanism

• Time management

• Project management skills

• Ability to work under pressure

• Ability to work with others

• They also learn to develop team spirit

Project students do not really see these when they undertake education projects, maybe that’s why they take projects really lightly. So the next time you see someone undertaking an undergraduate project, help them pay attention to what is available  for grabs.
