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 click here to familiarize yourself with our residential policies.
Research Experience for Undergrads (REU)
REU - Industrial Mathematics and Statistics
Dates: May 29- July 28, 2012

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. Application Deadline: March 2, 2012.
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.

REU - BioEngineering
This program was offered Summer 2009, 2010, and 2011. It will not be offered Summer 2012, but will likely resume in 2013.
Research Experience for Teachers (RET)
Program Dates
June 21, 2012 to August 1, 2012
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.
