Massie earned a bachelor of science degree in electrical engineering and a master of science degree in mechanical engineering from Massachusetts Institute of Technology.[5] Thomas participated in the MIT Solar Car Club, which took second place behind a Swiss team in the Solar and Electric 500 at Phoenix International Raceway in Phoenix, in 1991. At the time, the team set several world records including a lap speed in excess of 62 mph (99 kmph), and straight-away speeds in excess of 70 mph (112 kmph).[6]
In 1992, Massie won MIT's then-named 2.70 ("Introduction to Design and Manufacturing", now named 2.007) Design Competition.[7] MIT professor Woodie Flowers, who pioneered the 2.70 contest, mentioned that Massie watched this contest on television in seventh grade and wanted to come to MIT to win this contest.[8]
In 1993, at MIT, Massie and his wife started a company called SensAble Devices Inc.[9] Massie completed his Bachelor's degree in the same year and wrote his Bachelor's thesis, Design of a three-degree of Freedom force-reflecting haptic interface.[10][11] Massie was the winner in 1995 of the $30,000 Lemelson-MIT Student Prize for inventors,[5] and the $10,000 David and Lindsay Morgenthaler Grand Prize in the sixth annual MIT $10K Entrepreneurial Business Plan Competition.[12] The company was re-incorporated as SensAble Technologies, Inc., in 1996 after partner Bill Aulet joined the company.[9] They raised $32 million of venture capital, had 24 different patents, and 70 other employees.[13]
Also in 1996, Massie completed his Master's degree (SM) and his master's thesis was titled Initial haptic explorations with the phantom : virtual touch through point interaction.[14]
Massie sold the company, and he and his wife returned to their hometown in Lewis County
