Attend my morning class, Mechanical Design. I love this class because we are working in teams to create a portable speaker for cell phones. It’s really interesting to be creating a tangible object to address a present day issue.

Sophomore, BS in Mechanical Engineering
As a lifelong athlete, Jennifer Day knows the importance of teamwork. She and her teammates on the WPI Varsity Swim Team support each other in every way, struggling together, celebrating victories, and learning from their mistakes and setbacks along the way. From her first days on campus, she was working on teams in the classroom as well. Her first year she participated in the Great Problems Seminar and gained a true appreciation for the power WPI’s project-based curriculum would have in preparing her for her future. She’s not only learned what it’s really like to work on a team, have strict time constraints, and effectively communicate ideas and results, she’s also learned so much about herself from understanding her learning style and motivation to achieve to relying on teammates and learning from mistakes.
