Research in Action
At WPI, research is an integral part of the undergraduate experience. No matter what their course of study is, all students engage in research during their time at WPI, whether during the academic year or summer. Check out some of the research our undergraduates have been doing lately.
Peer-Reviewed Publications
WPI undergraduates with their advisors often submit their research work for publications in scholarly, peer-reviewed journals and conference proceedings. The peer-review process subjects the work to the scrutiny of others who are experts in the same field. This helps ensure that the work is original, important, valid, and of high quality. You can find a collection of peer-reviewed research papers with WPI undergraduate students as co-authors on the WPI Undergraduate Research Publication Collection.
Summer Research Showcase
Every summer, many WPI undergraduate students participate in research, both as a part of Summer Programs and independently with faculty and departments. The projects were sponsored by the Early Research Experience in E-Term (EREE) Program, The Summer Training in the Arts and Sciences (STAR) Program, the WPI Women's Impact Network, the Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (LSAMP) Program, many academic departments, the National Science Foundation (NSF), and other companies and institutions.
