Major Qualifying Project
This project was also my Major Qualifying Project (MQP) at WPI. This is a large senior capstone project that is meant to be the culmination of a degree at WPI. I completed mine my sophomore year. Despite doing the MQP early we still demonstrated exemplary performance and were featured on WPI's merit pages for winning the Provost Award, which is only awarded to one MQP group from each major.

MQP and the Provost Award
"The Provost’s MQP Awards recognize teams of students who have completed exemplary academic projects. Winners are chosen in each department through a competition process, which reflects the true depth and breadth of academic opportunity at WPI.
The MQP (Major Qualifying Project) is one of the university’s distinctions in its project-based learning curriculum. All seniors complete an MQP, a professional-level research project in their major discipline. Using the knowledge they have acquired, they apply it to real-world professional problems and scenarios."
