Deeper Understanding of Interest Area
Value of mentorship:
• Learn more about main area of interest than possible
in school curriculum
• Prove to universities that you are capable of
studying/research at a high undergraduate level
• Expand your knowledge to benefit your future
beyond admissions or university
Projects and Internships
Three primary types of Mentorship:
• Internship
• Independent Research Project
• Deeper Learning
Projects and Internships
Internship
• Work as an assistant or collaborator on
one of the mentor's current projects
Example:
• Work with professor of psychology on study of impact
of solitary confinement on mental health of incarcerated
individuals
Projects and Internships
Independent Research Project
• Work on a new research project decided
upon by you or together with your mentor
Example:
• Work with professor of engineering to structure a patent application
to convey form/function of wearable athletic performance device
and organize technical presentation to convey key attributes of the
device at a technical conference
Projects and Internships
Deeper Learning
• Learn from your mentor to increase your
knowledge set and level of expertise within
a subject you are passionate about
Example:
• Work with a professor of film to study mid 20th century war drama
and incorporate this knowledge into a screenplay for a film created
by student-led group
Projects and Internships
• How students are evaluated in the mentorship
• Mid-point evaluation
• Final evaluation
• What professors hope students achieve from their mentorship
• To exercise their intellectual curiosity by taking on greater
challenges than students have in high school
• Mentorship work provides a spark to further the student’s
mastery of a certain field later in university or in a future career
Projects and Internships
