This is just a small sample of the more than 250 student team projects that will be presented during WPI’s annual Project Presentation Day. The day is designed as a showcase for the exceptional work WPI students complete for their Major Qualifying Projects, one of two significant projects that all WPI students must tackle. Teams from every academic discipline at WPI—including interdisciplinary program in Interactive Media & Game Development, Environmental Engineering, and Robotics Engineering—will presented the results of their projects to their faculty advisors and project sponsors in formal presentations or poster sessions.
Major Projects are professional-level design or research experiences that immerse students in the kind of work they will do after graduation. In their presentations, students explain how they arrived at solutions to real-world problems using knowledge and skills they gained at WPI. It's a fascinating and powerful demonstration of the value of WPI’s innovative approach to education.
