Who should apply?

MIT sophomores and juniors in engineering and related majors are welcome to apply. You should have an interest in working in engineering-related industries in the future and the necessary time in your schedule to complete all program requirements. Your engagement and commitment are the primary factors that will determine your success!

The Undergraduate Practice Opportunities Program provides a strong foundation for GEL, but it is not a prerequisite.
