<p>Hey guys,
I have been admitted as a master's student to the mechanical engineering school at MIT. Now all I need is to find a RA and I will be set. My problem is that I live nowhere near the school and am having difficulty determining what my research options are. I have looked quite a bit online at some of the professor's sites, but admittedly nothing really stands out. Can anyone give me any guidance on finding a better source of information about current research that is being performed there? Also, I have noticed that many master's students that are involved with the labs are funded through fellowships (which I do not have). Any advice on how to successfully find funding as a master's student would be great as well.
Thanks,
MMS</p>
