Project-based learning = WPI. For 50 years, our students have been going off-campus to complete transformative projects. In a survey, 94% of our alumni who had an off-campus experience through our Global Projects Program reported the experience improved their ability to work effectively on a team. Explore what else our alumni are saying about the value of PBL at WPI. #GPP50 #pbl #projectbasedlearning youtube.com/watch?v=r522pT…

Older people, esp. those with disabilities, face mobility exclusion due to physical barriers around public transit. This has been further intensified as existing mobility accessibility initiatives have not involved vulnerable groups such as older people. #d1e426" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
