Description
Caltech's Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowships (SURF) program introduces students to research under the guidance of seasoned research mentors at Caltech and JPL. Students experience the process of research as a creative intellectual activity. SURF is modeled on the grant-seeking process: - Students collaborate with potential mentors to define and develop a project. - Applicants write research proposals for their projects - A faculty committee reviews the proposals and recommends awards - Students carry out the work over a 10-week period in the summer, mid-June to late August - At the conclusion of the program, they submit a technical paper and give an oral presentation at SURF Seminar Day, a symposium modeled on a professional technical meeting
