RET's & REU'S
Welcome to WPI!
If you are living in campus housing (dorms or apartments) there are several policies you need to be aware of. Please visit http://www.wpi.edu/Admin/RSO/Oncampus/communitystandards.html and familiarize yourself with our residential policies.
For information about WPI's campus and the Worcester area, please visit our WPI in Summer page.
Research Experience for Teachers (RET)
Description
For this program, WPI will recruit a total of 21 middle-school science teachers (7 per year) primarily from Worcester Public Schools to participate in a 6-week long intensive summer research experience in the Life Sciences and Bioengineering Center at Gateway Park, a newly constructed facility that houses all of WPI's research facilities in bioengineering. Teachers will work alongside faculty and graduate students, participating in high-level research projects in fields such as tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, and infection control on biomaterials. The long-term goals of WPI's RET in Engineering Site program are to motivate and improve middle school student-learning in engineering and establish a collaborative partnership between the Worcester middle-school teachers and WPI engineering faculty through inquiry-based experiences in bioengineering.

Research Experience for Undergrads (REU)
REU- Bioengineering
We have opportunities for 8 to 10 undergraduates/year to be engaged in research in one of the most exciting and rapidly developing areas of engineering --- Bioengineering.
The objectives of this program are to provide
- research opportunities for undergraduate students in bioengineering
- personal and professional development training to help increase the retention of females and minority undergraduate students in engineering
- involvement in outreach to middle-school students

REU- Industrial Mathematics and Statistics
The REU Program in Industrial Mathematics and Statistics was started at WPI in 1998 with funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF). It is the first mathematics REU program in the US that exclusively involves students in real-world projects sponsored by corporate partners.
This eight week program offers outstanding undergraduate students the opportunity to work on mathematical and statistical problems in close collaboration with faculty and industrial sponsors.
