Mentors/SURF

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.
