  1. Research about the professors/groups you are interested in:
    1. Check out the professors' websites at MIT's NSE: keep in mind some of them might be out of date, and not all professor listed on it is actively accepting students.
    2. Research about the professors' recent publications to get an idea of the projects he/she has. Two sites I like to start for searching for publications are:
      1. Engineering Village/Compendex: http://mv.ezproxy.com.ezproxyberklee.flo.org/search/quick.url?database=1&acw=
      2. Web of Science: http://mv.ezproxy.com.ezproxyberklee.flo.org/WOS_GeneralSearch_input.do?product=WOS&search_mode=GeneralSearch&SID=2AWV3POZSf6iXAnuVgI&preferencesSaved=
    3. Ask the graduate students that work in the group. These sites (currently under construction) would provide info on who to contact: Research Groups h/NSE/NSE+Student+Office+Directory+%28Excluding+PSFC%2C+RLE%29+10-2012
  2. Email the professor of interest and politely ask whether he/she can meet briefly to discuss whether he/she has new opening and/or funding available.
  3. Decide on a group/project. You should definitely decide by the end of first year.
