Train students in leadership skills Offer students the opportunity to apply what they have learned in community service, campus leadership service, simulations, co-ops, and internship settings. LEaP ties into the WPI Mission of educating talented men and women in engineering, science, management, and humanities in preparation for careers of professional practice, civic contribution, and leadership, facilitated by active lifelong learning.
LEaP is a dimensionally based process.
LEaP focuses on leadership skills not management skills. LEaP ties into the ABET Engineering Criteria 2000. LEaP students will participate in a formal WPI and Community Service effort. LEaP students have shown great initiative in designing and implementing projects such as the Toy Drive, a LEaP WWW site, a LEaP newsletter, a major fair for high school students, and a fundraiser for a local child care facility. LEaP education and training sessions are taught by WPI staff and faculty, WPI alumni, community leaders, and business experts.
