Special thanks to our many supporters including Boeing Company, Center for Sensorimotor Neural Engineering (CSNE), Linde Family Foundation, Lockheed Martin Foundation, and Western Digital Corporation Fund and Silicon Valley Community Foundation for the funding that makes E2@MIT possible.

Through Engineering Experience at MIT (E2@MIT), high school seniors from across the country who have a strong academic record and interest in science and engineering participate in a one-week residential science and engineering enrichment program. Students complete a short project course in an engineering field; attend admissions and financial aid sessions; tour labs; meet with MIT faculty, students, and alumni; and participate in social events.

Here, three E2@MIT students share their experience in their Underwater Robotics course.
