Student Water Projects
WPI students are working on a variety of projects that involve water. The World's Water, a Great Problems Seminar for first year students, explores the social, political, technical, and environmental dimensions of our looming water crisis. This course prepares students to analyze problems and seek sustainable and equitable solutions to a variety of water challenges.
From improving access to clean water in Uganda, to understanding how agricultural practices are causing eutrophication in the Gulf of Mexico, to the effects of BPA in Alaska ocean currents—students are encouraged to explore water challenges on a global scale.
