Reflection
Shaye appreciated that she and her teammates were able to fully immerse themselves in a project and be in total control of their own work. While they had the support of their project advisor and sponsor, the students learned to use their own strengths to best proceed and support one another, something she found invaluable over the course of their IQP.
She considers completing her IQP to be her greatest achievement at WPI thus far, citing her personal growth and confidence throughout the process as she's started to more fully picture her career, her strengths, and the impact of her work on the world after graduation.
- Completing this project successfully and the personal growth and confidence that came with the experience.
- Joining fraternity rush events to protest sexism.
