If you've got a dollar and you spend twenty-nine cents on a loaf of bread, you've got seventy-one cents left.  But if you've got seventeen grand and you spend twenty-nine cents on a loaf of bread, you've still got seventeen grand.  There's a math lesson    for you.
--Steve Martin
 

Our advice?  Forget about grades.  Enjoy life.  Skip a few classes.
---Tom and Ray Magliozzi (both graduates of M.I.T.) of Car Talk on NPR

Community College Institute Internship Program
This program places students from community colleges in paid internships in Science and Engineering and Technology at any of several different locations (see Choosing a Lab).  Because of the comprehensive nature of this program, many of the participants have felt it has had an enormous influence on their careers.  Students work with scientists or engineers on projects related to the laboratories' research programs.  They also attend career planning and numerous training/informational sessions. The different laboratories each offer different research opportunities (see Choosing a Lab)
