WPI’s Water Resource Outreach Center (WROC) is a theme-based project center, focused on protecting water resources within Massachusetts. The WROC is in the unique position of having a partnership with the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MADEP). This means that students are likely to have consistent access toMADEP employees, including the Regional Deputy Director of the MADEP and the statewide stormwater coordinator. Likewise, the co-directors are experts in their respective water related fields.
The WROC is dedicated to assisting watershed stakeholders on projects that help simultaneously protect our surface and groundwater resources and ensure residents access to safe water.
The first group of students will complete their MQP in A'21.
