The Research in Industrial Projects for Students (RIPS) USA Summer Internship program provides an opportunity for talented undergraduates studying math, computer science, and related disciplines to work in teams on real-world research projects proposed by sponsors from industry or the public sector. Each student team, with support from their academic mentor and industry mentor, will research the problem and present the results, both orally and in writing, at the end of the program.

The REU program is nine weeks. IPAM provides each undergraduate student with a wide range of support and incentives.
