Carleton Completes Intensive Research Project

Emma Carleton of Winthrop, a member of the class of 2023 majoring in Biomedical Engineering at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI), was a member of a student team that recently completed an intense research project titled Identifying Growth Areas in the Venetian Culutral Economy.

At WPI, all undergraduates are required to complete a research-driven, professional-level project that applies science and technology to addresses an important societal need or issue. About two-thirds of students complete a project at one of the university’s 50-plus off-campus project centers, which are located around the world. A signature element of the innovative undergraduate experience at WPI, the project-based curriculum offers students the opportunity to apply their scientific and technical knowledge to develop thoughtful solutions to real problems that affect the quality of people’s lives-and make a difference before they graduate.

“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 Integrative& 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. 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.”

Worcester Polytechnic Institute Announces Dean’s List

A total of 2,054 undergraduate students achieved the criteria required for WPI’s fall 2021 Dean’s List. The criteria for the WPI Dean’s List differs from that of most other universities as WPI does not compute a grade point average (GPA). Instead, WPI defines the Dean’s List by the amount of work completed at the A level in courses and projects.

“WPI’s academic programs are rigorous and require a level of independence beyond what is required in traditional courses. WPI students work on open-ended problems for communities around the world. The problems are important and the impact is real” said dean of undergraduate studies Arthur C. Heinricher. “Some of this nation’s best and brightest students come to WPI to study engineering and science and business and the humanities. Those named to the Dean’s List have excelled in all of their work, and we are exceptionally proud of these outstanding students.”

The following students are Dean’s List recipients:

Emelia Carleton of Winthrop, class of 2023, majoring in Biomedical Engineering (BS)

Emily Donovan of Winthrop,  class of 2023, majoring in Chemical Engineering (BS)

Clare Nargi of Winthrop, class of 2024, majoring in Biology and Biotechnology (BS)
