Global perspective program; WPI´s response to global challenges

Recognizing the need for the globalization of engineering education, in 1990-91 Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) launched a major initiative, the Global Perspective Program, aimed at extending WPI´s commitment to global education beyond the off-campus experience of international exchanges and project programs. The Global Perspective Program calls for globalizing all aspects of the WPI educational programs, on campus as well as off campus, by incorporating global perspectives throughout every discipline on campus, as well as within nonacademic programs
