Monroe student completes intensive research project
WORCESTER, Mass. — Ethan Busa, a member of the class of 2026 majoring in interactive media and game development – technology at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI), was a member of a student team that recently completed a professional-level research-driven project entitled, Achieving Compliance with Nantucket’s Outdoor Lighting Bylaw.
Known as the Interactive Qualifying Project (IQP), this project is a core part of the innovative undergraduate experience at WPI. Centered around project-based learning, this hands-on approach offers students opportunities to help develop thoughtful solutions to open-ended problems.
These real-world problems affect the quality of life for people in the communities where students work, giving students a chance to make a difference in the world before they graduate.
All WPI undergraduates are required to complete an IQP, usually in their junior year, through which they apply science and technology to address an important societal need or issue. About two-thirds of WPI students complete their IQP at one of the university’s 50+ off-campus project centers located in more than 30 countries around the world.
“The WPI project-based curriculum’s focus on global studies brings students out of the classroom and their comfort zones and into the global community to apply their knowledge and to solve problems,” said Professor Kent Rissmiller, professor of International & Global Studies and associate dean of The Global School.
“Students are immersed in all aspects of a different culture-from the way people live and work to the values they hold to the foods they eat, all valuable perspectives for surviving and thriving in today’s global marketplace,” he said. “They also learn the meaning and magic of teamwork; make a real and meaningful difference in their host community; and gain a competitive edge for any resume, or graduate or professional school application.”
