  1. Research Opportunities The Research Process A training to “ what is research”

  2. Summary • Research Academy Opportunities • SDSU • UCSD • Elements of Research Opportunities • Finding a Mentor • Research Fellowships • Summer Programs

  3. Research academy opportunities

  4. Research Academy Opportunities • SDSU • Mixing and Flow Control in High-Speed Combustors • Dynamics of Flame Spread in Microgravity • Racecar Aerodynamics • UCSD • Near Space Balloon Project • Aircraft wing structural dynamics

  5. SDSU: Mixing and Flow Control in High-Speed Combustors • Transport and mixing mechanisms of fuel and air in sonic fuel injectors • Control by enhancing mass flow, fuel-air mixing, and energy mixing

  6. SDSU: Dynamics of Flame Spread in Microgravity • Understand why experiments are set up • Reproduce events that occur in space! Sample holder (sample size: 6cm x 1cm) Fan & Motor Video camera

  7. SDSU: Dynamics of Flame Spread in Microgravity Photo Sketch Photo Sketch

  8. SDSU: Biomechanics Lab • Gain hands on experience with robotics • Opportunity to use computers to tell robots what to do

  9. UCSD: Near Space Balloon Project • Gain hands on manufacturing experience • Become the rocket scientist balloon boy!

  10. UCSD: Near Space Balloon Project • Learn how to track your balloon with parts bought from ebay

  11. UCSD: Aircraft Wing Structural Dynamics • Build your very own wing out of balsa wood. • Understand the bare bones of aircraft structures

  12. Elements of Research Opportunities

  13. Finding a Mentor • Only you can make the best decision • What topics interest you? • Did you enjoy a particular course? • Do you get along with a professor?

  14. Finding a Mentor • Internet resources at your disposal

  15. SDSU Research Opportunities

  16. SDSU Research Opportunities • Scholarships in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (S-STEM) Program • Minority Access to Research Careers (MARC) • Minority Biomedical Research Support (MBRS) • Summer Programs

  17. S-STEM Program • Computational modeling and simulation research in science and engineering • Requirements • Upper division standing • Strong interest in computational science

  18. S-STEM Program • $5000 for juniors • $6000 for returning seniors • Contact: • Dr. SatchiVenkataraman • satchi@mail.sdsu.edu

  19. MARC • Goal is to increase Ph.D.’s awarded in underrepresented ethnic groups • Requirements • Full time standing at SDSU • Upper division standing • Potential and interest in pursuing a graduate degree in the biomedical sciences

  20. MARC • Three-quarter tuition and a monthly stipend of $913.00 • Contact • Thelma Chavez (Program Coordinator)
