WPI RECEIVES BERNARD M. GORDON PRIZE
The 2016 Bernard M. Gordon
Prize for Innovation in Engineer-
ing and Technology Education
was awarded to Worcester Poly-
technic Institute (WPI) educa-
tors Diran Apelian, FASM (pic-
tured), Arthur Heinricher, Richard
Vaz, and Kristin Wobbe “for a
project-based engineering curric-
ulum developing leadership, innovative problem-solving,
interdisciplinary collaboration, and global competencies.”
The project-based engineering curriculum at WPI pre-
pares 21st century leaders to tackle global issues through
interdisciplinary collaboration, communication, and critical
thinking. The Institute’s engineering program engages stu-
dents with a specially designed sequence in which first-year
students complete projects on topics such as energy and
water; second-year capstones focus on the humanities and
arts; junior-year interdisciplinary projects relate technology
to society; and senior design projects are done in conjunc-
tion with external sponsors, providing relevant experience
upon graduation.
