Mission

The EECS International program under the direction of the EECS International Group, whose members are listed right, aims at promoting international engagement for EECS students and faculty.

Increase the level of international engagement for students and faculty and to become as pervasive as UROPs for undergraduates.
- Flexibility in curriculum
- Summer internships encouraged
- Integrate students' international experience with their on-campus education (such as VI-A International, for example).
- Recognize and support student-initiated international programs (such as AITI, teaching abroad).
Share curriculum and teaching methods through Global Education

Engage several premier foreign universities to participate.
Invite young faculty from participating universities abroad to come to MIT EECS to learn teaching methods.
Promote this methodology through subsequent visits by MIT graduate students and faculty, and/or UROP students who worked with foreign faculty to home (foreign) university.
Coordinate with EECS affiliated labs to host visiting faculty.

Maintain pre-eminence with educational mission at the forefront:
- Synergy between teaching and research
- No compromise on excellence
Partner with other international programs across MIT, incluing MISTI.

NEW! Summer 2011 Internship for Undergraduates in Computational Photography at the University of Hong Kong under Prof. Edwin Lam (who was a visiting EECS faculty member Fall 2010).

The work involves programming a Nokia camera phone for imaging goals beyond the normal capability of a point-and-shoot camera. Using: Nokia N900 with the FCam API (http://graphics.stanford.edu/papers/fcam/html/), providing full access to the functionality of the camera. Possible applications? gesture recognition, high dynamic range imaging, high frame rate imaging, and other new ideas.

Summer 2011 Internships at ASTRI (Applied Science and Technology Research Institute) in Hong Kong

Over 12 exciting internships are available for summer 2011 at ASTRI in Hong Kong. Read about them here (pdf).

Madrid-MIT Consortium Seeking Applicants for Biomedical Imaging Program

The Madrid-MIT M+Visi�n Consortium, formed in Sept. 2010, is a global initiative dedicated to helping Madrid, Spain, strengthen and expand its position as an emerging global center for biomedical research. The consortium--including the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, La Suma de Todos - Comunidad de Madrid, and the European Union--is launching a new Fellowship program this coming summer (2011) that is designed to accelerate cutting-edge research in translational biomedical imaging and establish new enterprises in Madrid. For more information see the M+Vision website: http://mvision.madrid.org/.
