Whatever a "rounded individual" is.

  In this case it means "someone who is taking advantage of the gigantic amount of money they're spending on college by actually taking courses in college". Molding fiberglass and fixing engines are excellent activities, but you don't have to pay college tuition to do them. You can do them in your garage for a few thousand dollars in tools and the cost of materials. Or, if you crave that high-tech social atmosphere, you can go to grad school and have them pay you. (They pay you a pittance, but that pittance is awesome compared to paying them thousands of dollars per month.) Mind you, I have nothing against undergraduate research, but you should balance that against the other parts of being an undergrad. Should you desire, there will be plenty of time later for a completely-unbalanced focus on one big project. Indeed, that time -- years two through N of grad school -- will seem to last forever. ;)
