Undergraduate Research Scholars Program

I’ll be an incoming freshmen and was wondering if this takes a lot of time. I definitely want to be involved with some research as I’m going into engineering, but is it a lot to take on freshmen year? Should I apply sophomore year instead when I’m adjusted to everything? Also if anyone has been in this program let me know about your experience! Thanks!

I’m going to be a sophomore as a transfer next year and I am interested in the program also. Would love to hear any information on the program
