It is highly recommended that students engage in a summer internship to obtain practical and applied work experience. Through the internship, students can gain insight into a company, technical area or business segment, which will help guide future career focus and choices. Students choosing to complete a MRSD-relevant summer internship will be registered for 3 units of 16-991 “Internship.” The 3 units can be counted towards the Technical Elective requirement and will factor into the 180-unit total required for graduation. Internships are expected to fall within the summer term as outlined by the University Academic Calendar. Interns will be required to submit a final end-of-internship report documenting the work that they carried out as part of their internship. The MRSD Program Director will review the reports and assign a Pass/Fail grade at the end of the summer term.
