ERSP - Early Research Scholars Program at UC San Diego

Computer science students are getting involved in high-level
research projects in the beginning of their college careers thanks
to an innovative program at UC San Diego. The Early Research
Scholars Program teams students up with professors who have ongoing
research projects. Students get guidance from a centralized
mentoring team, which helps them with the basic skills needed to
conduct research, so their professors can focus on the details of
each project. Students conduct research on everything from
autonomous cars, to the microbiome, to software verification. The
program has been such a success, it is expanding to multiple
universities, with plans to keep it growing. Series: "Computer
