USC Viterbi School of Engineering SHINE Process:
1. Professors volunteered for SHINE 2. Students applied 3. Dr. Mills & SHINE Team screen applicants & create dossiers 4. Professors reviewed applicants & selected them 5. Here you are today! How to shine at SHINE:
1. Communicate with your Mentor & research team – introduce yourself to others, don’t be shy 2. Check in with your Mentor each morning, before taking lunch & when leaving at day’s end 3. Confirm lunch w/ Mentor: refrigerator? Time? 4. Work out general schedule with your Mentor 5. Ask your Mentor how to communicate if you become ill or late – text, email, phone? 6. Bring a notebook & laptop each day. Make sure it is safe when you leave the lab for lunch, etc. 7. Bring your USC ID each day How to shine at SHINE:
• Take notes – keep a lab notebook & laptop • Ask questions of everyone in your lab, be bold • Consider keeping a diary or journal of your experiences – how does your understanding of research change over these 7 weeks? What can you learn about people, about yourself? • Use downtime in the lab to: • Study the lab’s Website • Read the lab’s publications – assignment • Review past SHINE Posters • Do your literature search in USC library databases How to shine at SHINE:
• Always follow lab safety procedures – failure to do so may result in termination from the SHINE program • Don’t post to any social media about the lab or your fellow SHINE students unless you have explicit permission to do so • Try to have lunch with someone new from SHINE every day – don’t stick with the people you know SHINE Structure

Results/ Methods Discussion The main goal of scientific research is to find solutions through trial and error (and statistics) that can be replicated and verified by others. Sharing research findings moves from informal to peer reviewed: Informal -> Formal (Peer Reviewed & Published) -> Nobel Prize!
Poster Sessions are a first step in publicly sharing your findings.
Like a grown-up version of the Science Fair!
