Undergraduate Research Program (URP) is an academic year long program that encourages US citizens, diverse, and gender candidates. The program combines a structured undergraduate research experience with industry mentorship.  In addition, the program design increases retention of students interested in majors relevant to the semiconductor industry and better prepares these target groups for a full-time opportunity upon graduation or progressing to graduate school programs.  It should allow opportunities for URP sponsors to network and/or mentor URP students including an annual recruiting event hosted by SRC to match member company job opportunities with URP students.
