Manufacturing: From Fundamentals to the Future

We invite applications for a two‑week, intensive, hands‑on summer course focused on modern manufacturing, jointly offered to students from MIT and Portuguese universities. The course combines foundational manufacturing processes with emerging topics in computational design, additive manufacturing, and the future of production systems.

The program is designed for highly motivated undergraduate and early graduate students with a strong interest in manufacturing and a clear connection between manufacturing and their academic studies or career goals.

The cohort will include 24 students total (approximately 12 from MIT and 12 from Portugal).

The course is supported by the MIT Portugal Program, the MIT Center for Advanced Production Technologies, the MIT Laboratory for Manufacturing and Productivity, and the MIT Department of Mechanical Engineering. Sponsorship is via the MIT Portugal Program.
