PW MQPs
The following lists include PW MQP reports/projects as available through the eProjects search system and Digital WPI.
Notes: PW MQPs are typically part of an interdisciplinary MQP with another major. This means the PW portion of the project (including its title) might be contained within the other major’s report. Also, some students’ other majors require additional security for their MQPs, which means a report might not be accessible without the advisor’s approval.
* Represents the winner of the Provost’s MQP Award for the most outstanding project in Professional Writing for that year.
