How do you determine the right scope and level of research for your summer intern? What should you consider? This interactive workshop on May 23 will tackle those questions and also present ideas for how to nurture your interns' independent thinking, how to deal with set-backs, and how to check student progress.
The Center for Science and Engineering Partnerships and The California NanoSystems Institute will be hosting a professional development series designed to help prepare graduate students and postdocs who will be mentoring undergraduates in research this summer.

To facilitate discussion, please email your proposed intern research project description (1 page) to CSEP (cnsi-csep@ucsb.edu) by Friday, May 18th.
The facilitator, Dr. David Weld, will select from the submitted projects to provide examples on how to improve project design. Mentors will also break out into small groups to discuss how they can implement the ideas presented to improve their proposed intern projects.
