The Massachusetts Microelectronics Internship Program (MMIP) was launched over the summer to connect undergraduates interested in learning more about microelectronics with industry. Open to all freshmen and sophomores registered at Massachusetts universities, the MMIP offers a ten-week, full-time internship opportunity in microelectronics and hardware—with no prior experience required. The program includes training modules, mentor support, and network-building events designed to help students find their way in a burgeoning industry.
