Major Qualifying Project

The Aerospace Engineering Program provides opportunities, resources and organization for Major Qualifying Projects (MQPs). The MQPs involve the design of an aerospace system, component, or process to meet a set of requirements and include the integration of aeronautical and/or astronautical engineering topics.  MQPs are conducted in the research laboratories of the Aerospace Engineering Program and serve as a vehicle for integration of undergraduate studies with current research activities. Some MQPs are also conducted  in collaboration with industry or government research centers.  All students present their MQP in a conference held at WPI on Project Presentation Day. Students  are also encouraged and often supported to participate in student and professional conferences, as well as national design competitions.
