Intensive Mentoring

The IMMERSE program is known for its "one-on-one" mentoring. Participating students have daily opportunities for close interaction with mentoring professors, where they are taught the essentials of good research and scientific method. IMMERSE mentors give useful presentations on various topics, such as: writing a technical paper, presenting your research, and applying to graduate schools. Faculty mentors also help guide individual research projects by helping participating students to set weekly research goals. Basic web-design training is provided and students are given opportunities to practice giving various types of technical presentations.
