This project sought to improve the availability of sponsored IQPs and MQPs at WPI. In support of WPI’s interest in starting an incubator, the feasibility and common traits of successful incubators were analyzed for implementation on campus. Alumni, companies, and incubators were contacted resulting in a strong response from both Alumni and incubators. The project produced a consulting report to the School of Business and an informational packet for incubators. Future work could lead to new course availability.
