WORCESTER, MASS. — Brayden Landry, a member of the class of 2026 majoring in Mechanical Engineering at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, was a member of a student team that recently completed a professional-level research-driven project titled “Fondo Comunitario Monteverde: Measuring What Matters.”

Known as the Interactive Qualifying Project, this project is a core part of the innovative undergraduate experience at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. Centered around project-based learning, this hands-on approach offers students opportunities to help develop thoughtful solutions to open-ended problems. These real-world problems affect the quality of life for people in the communities where students work, giving students a chance to make a difference in the world before they graduate. All undergraduates are required to complete a project, usually in their junior year, through which they apply science and technology to address an important societal need or issue.
