This Interactive Qualifying Project (IQP) assessed the feasibility of installing a small roof-mounted wind power system(s) on the Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) campus through wind data collection, survey assessment of community attitudes, the contact of manufacturers of potential wind power systems, and preparation of cost benefit analyses. A potential location for the wind power system(s) was selected, recommendations for an educational wind power system(s) and community involvement were made, and results were made available to the community.

• This report represents the work of one or more WPI undergraduate students submitted to the faculty as evidence of completion of a degree requirement. WPI routinely publishes these reports on its website without editorial or peer review.
