The Early Research Experience in E-Term (EREE) is an excellent opportunity for first- and second-year students to have an initial immersive research experience during summer’s E-Term.
Undergraduate research offers exciting chances to discover fascinating new avenues that could lead to a new career or an advanced degree option.
WPI students have internal and external opportunities for doing research that makes a difference. Several funding sources exist for WPI students who wish to pursue research experiences, although not all undergraduate research is funded.
First, ask your advisor if any department-specific funded research is available. Here are a few additional opportunities to explore.
