MIT's Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) VI-A M.Eng. Thesis Program matches industry mentors with course VI undergraduate students who have demonstrated excellent academic preparation and motivation. Not only is it a perfect opportunity to relate the scientific and engineering principles learned in the classroom to current engineering problems, but VI-A gives students the opportunity to do an industry-based Masters of Engineering Thesis.

By offering internships abroad, the VI-A program ensures that our students are at the forefront of understanding both theoretical and practical engineering issues in a global environment.

The VI-A Program was spotlighted in Fall, 2007 as the program held a Fall Term Open House for new students, followed by VI-A applications, interviews, selections and placements through the semester. Students who had participated in the recent past volunteered for portrait photographs and short testimonials about their experiences.
