    $\begingroup$ Great question! I've been thinking about this since my current institution has internal funding for CURE like programs, and I have not yet been able to come up with a good research topic that is approachable to undergraduates. (It doesn't help that my institution's program is designed for freshmen and sophomores.) $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @WillieWong: Yes, it seems efforts are primarily focused on beginning courses. It would not be so difficult to use CURE in an advanced topics course. But I thinking of Theory of Computation, which is roughly equivalent to Discrete Mathematics. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ I'm not entirely sure of what counts as CURE, but I feel like Alan Schoenfeld described teaching a math course that involves something like this. He may have written about it in "Mathematical Problem Solving." $\endgroup$
