Location
New York is one of the world’s most exciting cities. Some of the best theater and museums are found there. Wall Street is known as the world center of investments and banking and is seen as the capital of business and technology. It has proved to be a training ground for the leaders of the future. New York is a place where people both work and play hard. It is fast moving and allows the opportunity to apply many of the skills learned at WPI.
Projects
At the Wall Street Project Center, students complete MQP’s while working with a wide variety of agencies, such as Morgan Stanley, Deutsche Bank, Lehman Brothers, and J.P. Morgan. Wall Street, now much more than investments, is the center of world commerce; there is a need for WPI projects involving computer science, management, industrial engineering, and mathematical sciences. Some of our projects include work-flow analysis, risk analysis (country risk limits), system usability, and data-base corruption issues. Other projects include user on-line functionality, and user help functions for global settlement systems. The projects are challenging and important to the clients as well as to the students.
