For the Bachelor's degree, two ten-week work periods in an industrial or governmental establishment are required. Normally, these occur during the summers preceding the junior and senior years. Students register for the MIT subject, "Industrial Practice." The second of these work periods, properly reported, is accepted in lieu of the undergraduate thesis.
A candidate for the Master's degree begins a six-months work period in June following the senior year. The student's work, suitably reported, comprises the Master's thesis.
