WPI students work effectively in teams and think creatively to come up with real solutions to real problems. They undertake significant project work during their time at WPI so they’re prepared to collaborate with their peers and have the skills and confidence to dive right into the workplace after graduation.

- Interactive Qualifying Project (IQP): Small teams of students from various majors address a specific problem for a sponsoring agency that connects science and technology with social issues and human need – oftentimes completed off campus at a global project center
- Major Qualifying Project (MQP): Through this capstone research experience, students prove their ability to translate theory into practice in their major field. They define a problem, immerse themselves in understanding every aspect, and develop a novel solution. These projects are often sponsored by industry partners.
