Worcester Polytechnic Institute, a global leader in project-based learning, is a distinctive, top-tier technological university founded in 1865 on the principle that students learn most effectively by applying the theory learned in the classroom to the practice of solving real-world problems. Recognized by the National Academy of Engineering with the 2016 Bernard M. Gordon Prize for Innovation in Engineering and Technology Education, WPI's pioneering project-based curriculum engages undergraduates in solving important scientific, technological, and societal problems throughout their education and at more than 50 project centers around the world. WPI offers more than 70 bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degree programs across 18 academic departments in science, engineering, technology, business, the social sciences, and the humanities and arts. Its faculty and students pursue groundbreaking research to meet ongoing challenges in health and biotechnology; robotics and the internet of things; advanced materials and manufacturing; cyber, data, and security systems; learning science; and more. www.wpi.ed

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.
