What incentives do supervisors get for supervising undergraduate projects? What is the prime motivation/incentive for people to supervise undergraduate projects? Students want the degree obviously, but what do the supervisors get? Is there some incentive? Are undergraduate supervisors paid per project as well?
I am an undergraduate computer science student. We mostly make applications and computer programs as final year projects.
Sometimes undergraduate projects can form an extended talent scouting, looking for good matches of personality and interests for future graduate students.
