Industry Internships

Internships play an important role in a Thayer School education. Along with acquiring real work experience, students get to demonstrate to employers that they know how to apply their skills to practical work situations. The Office of Career Services offers extensive help for students who want to have an internship that will make a difference to both the student and the company.

In the M.E.M. program, a final M.E.M. project matches each student with a corporate sponsor. The student works with the sponsor to develop an individual project that will be completed as part of a summer internship. The M.E.M. Corporate Collaboration Council works closely with the M.E.M. program to help students secure ENGG 390 projects/internships.
