<p>so I received an email from a professor saying the he would be happy to work with me. In my email, I said "obverse your field" and "eventually" start doing some research of my own under your mentorship, for a few wks during summer. </p>

<p>now that he said yes, he told me to meet him tomm. evening at the university, but I am totally unprepared. I googled elec. engineering and then found that dep. at local university and emailed the professor. so what am I supposed to say now that he accepted me? should I read a little more about his field?</p>

<p>and what does " conducting research" mean- is it like doing some experiments with the professor, recording the results, and putting it down on paper? or like we basically write a huge research paper? so confused and nervous, can someone guide me through the process of "conducting research"???? help!</p>

<p>You’ll probably wind up working alongside a grad student in the lab. They’ll teach you how to do some straightforward experiments or sample prep, and then you’ll be expected to do them properly. Read up a bit on what this guy actually does, and try to have an idea what it actually means. You’re not going to be expected to be coming up with your own research ideas and figuring out how to do everything on your own.</p>
