Preparing
for UROP
While research
preparation
may not be
necessary
for every UROP,
some faculty
and departments
may seek students
with some research
background
or who have taken
specific courses
relevant to the projects.
To help
meet some
of these
expectations,
UROP offers
a research
preparation
program
for MIT undergraduates
known as the
IAP
Research Mentor
Program (IRMP),
which
runs throughout
the Independent
Activities
Period (IAP) in
January.
Wellesley
College and
Cambridge/MIT
Exchange (CME)
students interested
in research
preparation,
should consider
enrolling
in one of
the introductory
subjects
or
seminars that
are offered
by various
academic departments.
Participating
in these subjects
is a good
way to gain
in-depth exposure
to your major
and to get
an idea of
what research
will be like.
A
list of such
subjects and
programs can
be found on
the U-INFO
web
site . |
