The MQP is similar to senior design projects implemented at otheruniversities, focusing specifically on developing engineering solutions to technical problems; assuch, student teams are generally major-specific.The IQP is in many ways the cornerstone of the WPI Plan; whereas in 1970 there were otherschools that had capstone design and humanities projects as a part of their STEM curriculum, thefaculty observed a need for a project in which engineering skills would be built in a societalcontext. This was due primarily to the failure of post-war technological progress to deliver on theutopian promises of the 1950s: despite incredible scientific breakthroughs

host schools. Colleges and universities in the United States have become increasingly reliant on international students to fill Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM)-related graduate programs and support their STEM-related research agendas and patent generation. Moreover, because demand among foreign students for a U.S. degree seems unlimited, many colleges and universities have seen them as a quick fix for offsetting lagging interest among domestic students in graduate education, especially in STEM fields. These international students represent real revenues and significant enrollments. According to the latest data from National Center for Educational Statistics
