The<b class=""> “UPOP Edge” </b><i class=""> </i>UPOP sophomores regularly intern at companies like Google, Facebook, Lincoln Labs, Pfizer, Vecna, Goldman Sachs, Apple, Chevron, iRobot, Accenture, Lockheed Martin, The New York Times, NASA, as well as government
think tanks, international research labs, and exciting early-stage startups. We work closely with 800+ companies each year.<br class="">
<b class="">IAP “boot camp”</b> Intense but fun! Offered twice over IAP, this weeklong, hands-on, experiential workshop emphasizes team development, communication and problem-solving, with simulations and opportunities to practice public speaking, negotiation,
and networking skills. It's taught by MIT faculty and coached by industry professionals. This is a requirement for UPOP.<br class="">
<b class="">Mentors </b> Conventional wisdom says you can “Network or not work.” You’ll meet successful MIT alums and other successful professionals from all industries. These relationships can be long-lasting, and result in career guidance, internships, and
even full-time jobs.<br class="">
<b class="">Academic Credit</b> UPOP is a co-curricular program. Students who complete all the requirements receive two units.<br class="">
Recommended as preparation for the <b class="">Gordon Engineering Leadership (GEL) program, </b><span class="">which</span><b class=""> </b>provides junior and senior engineering majors with training in advanced engineering leadership topics and mentoring from
master engineers<br class="">
