Welcome to the 2017 Annual Summer Experience Survey Report
Please take a moment to learn more about the survey and the data we collect and present.
PURPOSE:
The purpose of the Summer Experience Survey is to promote an understanding of the summer plans of
current MIT undergraduate students. This information is helpful for students as they consider various
options during the summer months and for employers who wish to hire MIT students for research
experiences, internships, and summer jobs.
METHOD:
The Summer Experience Survey is a completely voluntary web-based survey. The survey was emailed as a
link multiple times throughout late summer and early fall in an effort to capture as much of the
undergraduate student population’s experiences as possible. Altogether, 1,354 (40%) undergraduates from
MIT participated in the Summer Experience 2017 Survey. Participation by year included 444 or 39.5% of
rising sophomores, 458 or 40.4% of rising juniors and 452 or 39.9% of rising seniors. Some rising
graduate students who continued at MIT in the fall semester for a Masters in Engineering degree were
also included in the overall results of the survey; however this data is not included in any detailed
information. For some questions, respondents could pick more than one answer/category which is why
percentages may total over 100; this allows us to capture all the experiences of MIT students.
RESULTS:
All data are self-reported and presented anonymously in aggregate form. Due to the variety and
various levels of MIT degrees granted, the majority of statistics presented are by classification instead of
major. A table at the end of the report is divided by major to give a sense of the various experiences
of MIT students. This year we continued to ask questions about pay differently allowing for a greater
response rate. With additional data points we were able to provide information by industry and major
for summer experience with the understanding that industries choose various pay methods.
A special thanks to Sue Acton who assisted in compiling this report. For questions about this survey,

OVERALL SUMMER EXPERIENCE PAY
Career Services asked students to share how they were paid, (i.e. stipend, monthly, weekly, biweekly, hourly
rate), then we took the information and put the data into 3 pay categories: 1) stipend 2) monthly (weekly
and biweekly were converted to monthly pay) and 3) hourly. All data about pay are reported in these
three categories recognizing that industries choose various pay methods for summer experiences. We
then break out the information by student year (sophomore, junior, senior) and then by provide pay
information by industry and by major. If an industry or major is not shown below, it is because there were
not enough respondents. We encourage students and employers to look at pay by different categories
(industry, major, and student year) to find an appropriate pay range.
EMPLOYERS: If there is not information listed below, we recommend using a percentage formula to help
determine a wage. Identify an entry level salary for a similar position at your organization and multiply it
by a percentage to determine the intern’s salary. Typically, the percentage will vary depending on the
intern’s education level, previous experience and skill set. Ranges are normally anywhere from 50% to
85% of the hourly pay of a starting salary. The typical breakdown is as follows:
Seniors: 80-85% of entry-level salary
Juniors: 70-75% of entry-level salary
Sophomores: 60-75% of entry level salary
Freshmen: 45-55% of entry level salary
