Advanced Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program

SuperUROP Provides Undergraduate Students with Real-World Research Experience.

The two-semester supervised project, administered by MIT’s Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, takes undergraduates through the complete research cycle, from selecting a topic and designing their experiment to writing a technical paper and presenting their results at conferences. Over one thousand undergraduates have already gained valuable research experience through SuperUROP, helping them make informed decisions about graduate school, STEM careers, and more.

Charles M. Vest Student Street. Stata Center (Building 32) 32 Vassar Street, Cambridge, MA

This fall, our undergraduate researchers have been hard at work: asking questions, designing research experiments, and gathering data. Join us to see what these imaginative students have accomplished so far. Hosted by MIT’s Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, this event will offer refreshments and the opportunity to tour the poster session and network with these emerging researchers.

Make sure to register and please forward this invitation to any interested co-workers. If you’ve already signed up, we’re looking forward to seeing you!

Two new initiatives support SuperUROP

We’re excited to announce that two major initiatives at MIT are now partnering with SuperUROP: MIT’s Generative AI Impact Consortium (MGAIC) and MIT’s Health and Life Sciences Collaborative (MIT HEALS). Beginning in the fall of 2025, students will have the opportunity to pursue an advanced undergraduate research project funded by either SuperUROP/MGAIC (research in generative AI, responsible AI, and applications that drive societal benefit) or SuperUROP/HEALS (research at the intersection of health, well-being, equity, and technology).
