On Wednesday, Feb. 19, WPI faculty will kick off the second phase of promoting opportunities to students for the 1997-98 academic year. In the first phase, in November, students were invited to apply for openings in the global IQP program.
Project Opportunities Night will focus on MQP's sponsored by companies; externally sponsored IQP opportunities (most within commuting distance) and IQP clusters with unique themes will also be featured. The evening will have 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 stationed at information tables.
Faculty 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 if IQP's with a central theme, may have their names added to the invitation list by calling ext. 5457 as soon as possible.
