2011 MIT Lincoln Laboratory Facts

Student Programs
MIT Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program
Lincoln Laboratory is one of the centers with which
undergraduates may partner under MIT’s Undergraduate
Research Opportunities Program (UROP). UROP
cultivates research partnerships between MIT undergraduates
and faculty, offering students the chance to work on
cutting-edge research and participate in each phase of
standard research activity.
MIT VI-A Master of Engineering Thesis Program
Lincoln Laboratory is an industry partner of MIT’s
Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer
Science VI-A Master of Engineering Thesis Program,
which matches industry mentors with undergraduate
students who have demonstrated excellent academic
preparation and motivation. Students in the VI-A program
spend two summers as paid interns, participating in
projects related to their fields. Then, the students move
on to developing their master of engineering theses
under the supervision of both Laboratory engineers and
MIT faculty.
MIT Research Assistants
As part of the research collaboration between MIT
campus and Lincoln Laboratory, MIT graduate students
are supported as research assistants while working on
Laboratory programs.
University Cooperative Education Program
Technical groups at Lincoln Laboratory employ students
from MIT, Northeastern University, and other area
colleges as co-ops working full time with mentors during
the summer or work/study semesters and part time
during academic terms.
