    Joining the ACM offers you a variety of outcomes. One of those is an internship and research acceptance at prestigious places. When we say prestigious places we are talking about names such as the internship places where students got accepted to Harvard, Princeton, Amazon, and Google etc. However, none of these places could have been reached without the necessary commitment. Every student as a member of ACM club is having a minimum requirement of an hour commitment to the work they do or to the areas of their specializations. The preeminent thing that comes before the commitment and everything else is students’ will to expand their knowledge, broaden their horizons, and become a role model for others.

Undergraduate research and internships prepare us for a job market, it helps us learn how to work within the team, how to tolerate other opinions, it helps us to sharpen and polish our skills.
