I'm an undergraduate student living outside the U.S. and I'm interested in using drone technology in rural area. I want to ask university professors about research topics that I'll do for applying for a Master degree in Mechanical Engineering. How could I contact a professor that is doing a research that I'm interested?

Hi. I'm an undergrad student, majoring in Development Economics. Currently, I'm working on my own project that help Karen villagers along the Thai-Myanmar border taking aerial photography with drones to prepare and monitor the land for agriculture. I didn't have much engineering background, but I learn some on my own. I really really love what I do and I want to give it a shot on applying for a master degree in mechanical engineering. The problem is that I don't know about what's the overall picture of studying a master degree will be about, what are the things that graduate students do. As far as I understand, a graduate student needs to find and make a connection with professors that do research that match with the student's interest. Am I correct? Do you have some of your friends who come from social science undergrad and currently studying a master degree in mechanical engineering or related fields? Thank you so much for your comments!
