The Research Experience for Undergraduates in Industrial Mathematics and Statistics at WPI provides a unique educational experience for students of mathematics by introducing them to research in an industrial environment. The students work in teams on problems provided by local business and industry. They work closely with a company representative to define the problem and develop solutions of immediate value to the company. They work closely with a faculty advisor to maintain a clear focus on the mathematics and statistics at the core of the project. Twelve undergraduates will participate each summer. A team of three-four students will work on each of the industrial projects. Students are assigned to a project according to their interest and course background, but in most cases the work requires knowledge and tools from several areas of mathematics and statistics. Each team makes weekly progress reports to the full group and all students participate in these presentations. At the end of the program, each team provides a final written report as well as a final public oral presentation summarizing the results of their research. The site is supported by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF REU program.

WPI 工业数学和统计学本科生研究体验通过向数学学生介绍工业环境中的研究，为他们提供了独特的教育体验。 学生们以小组形式解决当地工商界提出的问题。 他们与公司代表密切合作，确定问题并制定对公司具有直接价值的解决方案。他们与教师顾问密切合作，以明确关注项目核心的数学和统计学。 每年夏天将有十二名本科生参加。 每个工业项目将由三到四名学生组成的团队进行。 学生根据自己的兴趣和课程背景被分配到一个项目，但在大多数情况下，这项工作需要数学和统计学多个领域的知识和工具。 每个团队每周向整个小组提交进度报告，所有学生都参与这些演示。 在项目结束时，每个团队都会提供最终书面报告以及总结其研究结果的最终公开口头报告。 该网站由国防部与 NSF REU 计划合作支持。
