 The
Research Laboratory of Electronics (RLE) at the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology (MIT) has always placed the
importance of student participation in RLE research
at the core of our identity. RLE today is the second
largest locus of graduate research assistants at MIT.
Annually, over 250 graduate and 60 undergraduate students
play integral roles in the Laboratory’s mission
of discovery. The Laboratory's investigators devote
approximately $5M annually to support student stipend
and tuition costs for graduate students. In addition,
RLE research programs sponsor a wide range for research
opportunities for undergraduates.
 Our students are drawn from many academic departments
and divisions. Some of the most notable achievements
in RLE history were made by our students working in
close collaboration with RLE faculty and staff. This
student orientation distinguishes RLE from several
of the other, more mission-oriented large laboratories
and centers of MIT.
The role RLE plays is to provide a research environment
in which students may participate and learn from the
process of discovery. The academic departments and divisions
with affiliated faculty in RLE are responsible for admitting
students to MIT, and overseeing the progress of students
in their degree programs.
