MICRO is the Materials Initiative for Comprehensive Research Opportunity created to provide a remote research and education experience to undergraduate students who are members of groups historically underrepresented in science and technology. The program offers participants the ability to conduct cutting-edge materials research with MIT faculty while simultaneously learning the fundamentals of materials science.
The MICRO initiative was developed by graduate students and teaching staff in the MIT Department of Materials Science and Engineering (DMSE) and was initially supported by MIT Open Learning’s J-WEL Grants in Higher Education.
This resource presents a set of mentor training resources along with an undergradute materials science and engineering curriculum curated for this initiative.
