What is RIPS?
Research in Industrial Projects for Student (RIPS) 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. The student team, with support from their academic mentor and industry mentor, will research the problem and present their results, both orally and in writing, at the end of the program. The RIPS is nine weeks with 9 projects.
What will you do in RIPS?
- First, in contrast to most summer research experiences that focus on an academic problem where students work closely with an academic mentor, RIPS students apply their mathematics knowledge to a real-world industrial problem, with an emphasis on problem solving using whatever methods are appropriate. In this way, RIPS is a cross between an REU and an internship.
- Second, RIPS students work on teams, with one student serving as project manager.
- Third, RIPS provides students an opportunity to explore careers in mathematics, science and technology.
- Fourth, RIPS students learn report writing and public presentation skills that will be invaluable to them as they continue with an academic or professional career in an industrial setting.

Requirements:
- You must be at least 18 years of age to participate in the program.
- RIPS is a program for students who are enrolled in or have just completed an undergraduate (bachelors) degree.
- Students with a strong background in mathematics and an interest in seeing how mathematics is used in the real world are encouraged to apply.
- Most of the projects have a significant computational component, so that proficiency (or at least some experience) in computer science, data analysis or numerical computation is valuable, but not necessary for everyone.
- International students, including students attending a university outside the U.S., are eligible to apply for RIPS-LA, as are graduating seniors.
Financial Supports:
- Travel (airfare or mileage reimbursement) to IPAM is covered, subject to certain rules and limits.
