On Wednesday, January 25, WPI faculty will kick off the second phase of promoting project opportunities to students for the 1995-96 academic year. In the first phase, in November, students were invited to compete for openings in the "global" IQP program.
Project Opportunities Night will focus on MQPs sponsored by companies. Externally sponsored IQP opportunities (most within commuting distance), and project clusters with unique themes will also be available. The evening has three components: a general overview of the project selection process at 6:30 p.m. in Perreault Hall; breakout sessions at 7 and 7:30 p.m. when faculty will give presentations in reserved classrooms; and a Projects Fair from 7 to 8 p.m. in Fuller Lab's upper lobby, where students can get handouts or discuss project opportunities with faculty.
Faculty members who have actively participated in this program in the past will again be invited. Those who have not taken part in previous programs and who wish to represent an externally sponsored group of projects, or a unique cluster of projects with a central theme, may have their names added to the invitation list by calling extension 5457 as soon as possible.
