WPI MQP Competetion

Undergraduate students at Worcester Polytechnic Institute must complete a Major Qualifying Project (MQP), under the guidance of academic advisors, in order to obtain their degrees.   Ideally, the project synthesizes all previous study in order to solve problems and perform tasks in the chosen major field, with students striving to communicate results confidently and effectively.

The Central Massachusetts Chapter of ASM International sponsors and presents an award for a competition to select the best MQP presentation in the Mechanical Engineering department, with special emphasis on Materials research. Three chosen finalist teams gave brief presentations of the highlights of their accomplishments before the winner was announced.

2019 MQP Competition Finalist: "Designing Integrated Inputs for a Soft Robotic Mechatronic Tongue” Logan Chen   “Fire Helmet Redesign” William Bass, Thomas Chiudina, Max Marks   "Controlling BiI3 Crystal Orientation Using Close-Space Sublimation for Solar Cell Application” James McRae, Emily Molstad, Risbel Rivas, Emma Ruano
