Project
Preparation and Advising @ WPI
The
project preparation courses taught by Prof. Carrera are called ID2050 which are
associated with off-campus Interactive
Qualifying Projects (IQPs) administered
by the Interdisciplinary
and Global Studies Division of the Worcester
Polytechnic Institute (WPI). ID2050
is an intensive course that precedes the term when WPI students go away to one
of our global
project centers. Similar preparation
is conducted for on-campus projects, though generally not under the umbrella of
the ID2050 course.
Prof.
Carrera has adopted two distinct calendars to prepare students for their IQPs:
These
projects last for a full academic year and include a miniature preparation
course in the first term (1/6 unit) followed by three terms dedicated to the
project itself (1/3 unit per term).
These projects are preceded by one term of ID2050
combined with a 1/6 unit Preparatory Qualifying Project (PQP) in the term
before students leave campus to go to one of our centers. At the end of this preparation the students
will have produced a full Project Proposal and will be ready to complete a
successful IQP off campus.
