MIT Materials Processing Center and the Center for Materials Science and Engineering

Summer Research internship program

The MIT Materials Processing Center and the Center for Materials Science and Engineering

sponsor a summer research internship program for rising junior and senior undergraduates in

science and engineering fields. This challenging program brings promising students to MIT to

learn and perform research in laboratories in a broad selection of materials science subfields.

In addition to providing a stipend and round-trip travel expenses, we host presentations and

group discussions on topics relevant to materials scientists, such as graduate school, careers in

materials science, creating effective poster presentations, and management of intellectual

property.

At the conclusion of the program, the students present their individual research results at a poster

session. The summer research internship, offered each year since 1983, affords students an

invaluable experience in top-notch cutting edge research.

Students are selected for this highly competitive program based on an application and

recommendation letters. MIT is an equal opportunity employer. Women, minorities, and persons

with disabilities are encouraged to apply.
