WPI Project Program<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI)<\/mark><\/em><\/a>,engineering, science, and business students alike have the opportunity to complete two projects addressing current local and\/or global issues. Many of these projects incorporate sustainability and seek to make a long-lasting positive change. We can measure progress towards climate resilience in terms of sustainability by the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Each project tends to meet at least one of these 17 goals developed by the United Nations<\/em> in 2015<\/a>. To learn more about current sustainability efforts at WPI, please visit our Sustainable Living & Learning Laboratory website<\/mark><\/em><\/a>. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students in their Junior year complete an <\/strong>Interactive Qualifying Project <\/em>(IQP)<\/strong><\/mark><\/a>. Each year, over 1,000 WPI students take their projects off WPI’s campus as part of the <\/strong><\/a>. Many choose to go abroad; immersing themselves in different cultures as they work on projects improving the local community.
