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的工业数学和统计学本科生的研究经验通过将其引入工业环境中的研究为数学学生提供了独特的教育经验。 学生们在当地企业和行业提供的问题团队中工作。 他们与公司代表紧密合作，以定义问题并为公司提供直接价值的解决方案。他们与教师顾问紧密合作，以保持对项目核心的数学和统计数据的明确关注。 每年夏天将有十二名本科生参加。 由三四个学生组成的团队将在每个工业项目上工作。 根据他们的兴趣和课程背景，学生被分配到一个项目，但是在大多数情况下，工作需要从数学和统计数据的几个领域进行知识和工具。 每个团队每周都会向整个小组报告，所有学生都参加了这些演讲。 在计划结束时，每个团队提供了最终的书面报告以及最终的公开口头介绍，总结了他们的研究结果。 该网站由国防部与NSF REU计划合作支持。
