Lara's Story

Mechanical engineering major Lara Monagel (pictured 2nd from right) interned with Sypnosys in Yerevan, Armenia, in the summer of 2024. She found a supportive working environment and was able to learn new skills in her free time while discovering a new culture and understanding it more. 

"During my internship, I worked on a project involving the design and analysis of digital circuits. I applied my MIT skills by designing and analyzing digital circuits. I  developed new skills in working with advanced circuit components."

"Academically, I feel like I now have a better understanding of what I want to pursue. Personally, I liked how I used my free time to learn new skills."
