About this event
2.5 hours
The MIT Industry Projects event showcases the exceptional talent of both undergraduate and postgraduate students in fields such as Business, IT Networking, and Telecommunications Engineering. From 12:00 to 2:30 pm, the event will feature student project presentations, an industry forum, and award announcements. This culmination of academic and practical excellence provides a platform for students to present their innovative solutions to real-world problems, demonstrating their readiness for professional challenges. The event highlights MIT’s commitment to integrating industry experience with academic learning, enhancing student employability and innovation.
Industry connectivity
The Industry Impact projects form an integral part of the MIT degree programs. Students work with industry partners and gain invaluable experience by working on real industry/commerce opportunities or solutions. Throughout the projects, students are challenged and supported by MIT’s academic staff to ensure they apply the learning gained from their degree studies.
Employability skills
During the project, students further develop their employability skills. Students learn to present their knowledge and ideas in ways that people can readily understand. As a team, they present their best project ideas and use their persuasive skills to gain support for their initiatives. It’s all part of their skills development.
Commercial breakthroughs
This trimester’s event promises to be an outstanding collection of the very best of MIT’s industry projects. As a significant part of their Business, IT Networking or Telecommunications Engineering degrees (for both undergraduate and postgraduate degrees), students and lecturers will share ideas that can become tomorrow’s commercial breakthroughs.
Interwoven studies
For the first time, this event will comprise projects from IT Networking, Telecommunications Engineering and Business in the same space. This illustrates the interwoven nature of studying Information Technology, Telecommunications and Business at MIT. This demonstrates how MIT prepares its graduates to stand-out from the crowd and be “job-ready”.
"I thought it would be hard to find a job in my field of study because I’m an international student. Luckily, I was wrong. During my second year, I found a job as a marketing specialist."
I enjoy being an active member of the community and I feel valued at MIT.
Margarita Byvsheva
"Through the compulsory internship program, I landed a part-time job in the networking field even though I was still halfway through my degree."
Studying at MIT has been invaluable in kick-starting my career in the Telecommunication industry.
Shirshak Nepal
"I landed a job after two months of graduating. I found that the course content was exactly what I needed for my role."
The industry project helped me to distil everything I'd learnt and put it to practical use. The knowledge I gained was also valuable during job interviews, too
