Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) provides international experiences for over 50% of its engineering students, more than any other US-based university. As part of its international offerings, WPI has since 1989 been sending mixed teams of engineering, science, and management students to Bangkok to complete 8-week interdisciplinary projects. These projects connect science or technology to social issues and human need, and have been sponsored by Thai nonprofit organizations, government agencies, and universities, as well as by international organizations. The students are accompanied by WPI faculty members who serve as residential project advisors and work closely with the student teams.
