If there's one thing you need to know about WPI, it's that we do lots of projects here. The MQP involves working on something challenging within your major.
Every major has specialties.
During your first few years at WPI you'll find the specialty that most interests you. Your MQP will be a large project within that specialty. Best of all, you get to pick the project you want to do. If you've ever dreamed of being able to develop a new computer game, build a robot, research the galaxy, this is your chance to make that dream come true. Over the years we've learned that classroom work is a nice beginning, but nothing is better than hands-on experience.
