As an undergrad involved in physics research, what all can you really do?

I can think of three things:
-Programming
-Experimental measurement
-Building things in the machine shop

What else should be added to this list, and what other useful skills are there to have as an undergrad for physics research?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
You have asked a broad question and then listed three broad examples. What can't you do? might be a better question.
 
I can't really find much from what can't you do because I don't understand that well what is involved in physics research as I have no experience. I guess what I should have said is what else can I learn that would help me to be valuable in physics research as an undergrad?
