The London Project Center was established in 1987 as WPI's first international site for students to complete the Interactive Qualifying Project. The center's history is largely unrecorded and lacks centralized formal documentation regarding its development and impacts on its stakeholders. Our team, through this project, assessed the impacts of the project center on its alumni and sponsoring organizations using an alumni survey and interviews with faculty and sponsors. We also documented an account of the center’s origin and 30-year history.
