Worcester Polytechnic Institute Announces 2016 Provost's MQP Winners
The MQP, typically completed in the senior year, is a high-level design or research experience in the student's major field. In the engineering disciplines, many of these design projects are completed in small teams with a faculty advisor. In the sciences, many of these projects are completed by undergraduates working closely in the faculty advisor's research lab. Some MQPs are completed at off-campus project centers for external sponsors, often corporations.
