KEYNOTE<\/b><\/h3>\n

Project-based learning is an effective strategy for engaging students in authentic learning experiences that can develop a wide range of transferable skills and abilities.\u00a0 Using Worcester Polytechnic Institute\u2019s curriculum as a case study, I will describe how project-based learning can be used in and out of the major and across all four years of an undergraduate curriculum.\u00a0\u00a0 We will explore examples of projects on campus, in the local community, and around the globe.\u00a0 I will present results from a study looking at the long-term impacts of project work on alumni, and will share some lessons learned from four decades of project-based education at WPI.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"Dr. Richard F. Vaz<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0serves as\u00a0the inaugural Director of Worcester Polytechnic Institute\u2019s (WPI) Center for Project-Based Learning. The Center\u00a0provides support to colleges and universities looking to implement or enhance project-based learning. In his prior role as\u00a0dean of interdisciplinary and global studies, he had oversight of WPI\u2019s interdisciplinary degree requirement, the Interactive Qualifying Project.<\/p>\n
