Undergraduate

Through research opportunities, our undergraduates tackle real problems early and often. They test, iterate, and build alongside faculty and peers, gaining not only technical mastery but the confidence to turn ideas into impact.

Many members of the engineering undergraduate community bring an entrepreneurial spirit to everything they do — and the Institute’s powerful innovation ecosystem helps their ideas take shape. Through hands-on programs, funding opportunities, and mentorship, our students, faculty, postdocs, and staff work with some of the brightest minds in industry, connect with potential funders, sharpen their business acumen, and gain the support to turn bold ideas into lasting impact.

Across more than 40 makerspaces, MIT provides the tools, technologies, and training to turn imagination into invention. From rapid prototyping to advanced fabrication, these spaces fuel discovery, making, and hands-on learning. Spanning more than 130,000 square feet, they support projects that bridge disciplines—from robotics and materials science to biomaking and design.
