UROP Vbce rates %0t11anniversary By Linda D'Angelo Students, faculty, and administrators reflected on the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program's role at MIT and made predictions about the future at the program's twentieth anniversary celebration on Monday. UROP was founded during the 1969-70 academic year by Dean for Undergraduate Education Margaret L. A. Macpicar '65. Twenty years later, it is the "largest, most successful and most well-known program of its kind," said Norma McGavern, director of the Undergraduate Education Office. The centerpiece of Monday's festivities was student and faculty pre- dictions about the year 2020. These predictions were solicited "to get people thinking and to have some fun," MacVicar told The Boston Globe. William Ching '93 speculated that "robots with human capabilities will assist in everyday life" and "cancer will be eradicated." Cold fu- sion and advanced computer capabilities would solve the energy crisis, according to Gautam Ramakarishna '93. "Biological immortality" would be achieved, Greg Bettinger '91 predicted. As for MIT, the year 2020 may see the Institute's own space re- Kristine AuYeung/The Tech search lab so that, "in addition to the semester abroad program in Dean Margaret L. A.

"Microsoft has the best summer intern program I've ever heard of Interns get to work on real products and have real responsibility. In my four summers as an intern, I have gained invaluable real-world experience, things you can't learn in School. This summer I worked as a software developer for OS/2 Presentation Manager Excel, opti- mizing vital parts of the spreadsheet. In past summers, I wrote parts of Word, Mail, and internal tools. I've led meetings, worked with a Vice-President of another company, and yes, even talked to Bill Gates. You can get a summer job in a lot of places, but few can walk into an office or store, point at a top-ten product and say, 'I helped write that!" George Hu Software Design Intern SB MIT(6-3) 1989 "As a Program Manager, I run my own show. I define the desired product, deter- mine the needs of the developers, then work with marketing to distribute the product all over the world. I interact with major corporations, design documentation teamsI courseware developers, and actually program to customize our product. I can't imagine having the freedom and impact I enjoy here being offered at other companies." Billjohnson ProgramManager MIT BS U 6) 1988 "MIT is intense-so is Microsoft. MIT taught me how to think-Microsoft taught me how to program. There's always a lot of challenge; we create better products with fewer people than anyone else. That means we use only the best people. Nothing matches the ego rush of shipping a product that all the magazines talk about and people love, and that opportu- nity exists at Microsoft. My position at Microsoft involves working with a number of projects, rather than being assigned to just one. My focus is on what I consider the essence of computer science to be; making the code better (faster, smaller and bug,-free). Code is where the action is, and Microsoft let's me be at the heart of it." Doug Klbnder Sofware Design Engineer MIT SB (6-3) 1981

"Working in Advanced Technology, I got to work on some very exciting projects that my manager chose specifically to match my interests in computers. i I spent most of the summer working on a simulator that Microsoft will use for in-house decisions and to influence microprocessor design. I read papers and was kept informed on proprietary I information about future m'icroprocessors that Microsoft was exploring. I was even r flown to S[GPLAN and had the opportunity to meet with prominent architects. I would have been bored with straight coding, so I'm glad my job involved so much thinking and learning." Ellen Spertni Software Design Inzzteiz .1 MIT(6-3) 1990
