Tips on How to Get a Research Mentor or SURF- Look up professors' research and email them (look outside of ME/Aero
too). Briefly explain who you are, why you like their research, and
that you might like to do a SURF with them.
-
The SURF website and announcements of opportunity (not a complete listing!)
-
Ask your class professors and your adviser if they are looking for SURF students, or know anyone who is, and on what topics.
- Consider doing a JPL internship.
-
You can do a SURF at another university! Email faculty there (after first
getting an idea of their research topics online) to find a project. See
the SURF website for details.
