Planning and Promoting a WPI Project Center in Montreal lll

Public Deposited

The purpose of this research project is to promote Montreal, Canada as a suitable area for a WPI (Worcester Polytechnic Institute) global project center and garner interest from both staff and students on the possibility of establishing such a center. Canada is one of the United States' largest trading partners, making it an ideal location for a WPI project center. Montreal, in particular, provides a foreign, multicultural, bilingual experience within driving distance of Worcester. Moreover, it has outstanding cultural, educational, and research institutions that could provide excellent opportunities for Interactive Qualifying Projects (IQPs) and Major Qualifying Projects (MQPs). The project entails conducting interviews, research, and surveys to promote Montreal as an ideal location for a WPI project center. An objective of the research is to determine the level of interest among staff and students in establishing a project center in Montreal. Additionally, the project aims to identify the challenges associated with establishing a new project center and develop strategies to overcome them. The research also examines the process for establishing concurrent centers and how WPI can take advantage of these opportunities.
