About MSTIC

The Monitoring Systems and Technology Intern Center (MSTIC) program is designed for college students who are interested in furthering their knowledge in the areas of remote sensing, space-based systems, sensor technology, and high-consequence systems while pursing an undergraduate or graduate degree. Students have an opportunity to work on Sandia projects focused exclusively on systems of national interest — space missions, treaty verification, nuclear nonproliferation, cooperative monitoring, surveillance, and reconnaissance.

The MSTIC program is aimed at developing the next generation of experts in these areas of national-security systems. The program matches the skills of qualified candidates with existing projects and provides high-caliber technical mentorship. The MSTIC program helps to foster students' appreciation for the unique challenges of a full-systems approach to national-security problems. We also encourage the exploration of original ideas and the leading-edge technologies necessary to keep pace with the rapid changes in national-security threats.
