For a description of the WTP Mechanical Engineering Curriculum (a separate Track from WTP-EECS) visit the WTP-ME Track. The WTP-EECS classes are taught by female MS/PhD graduate students from the MIT Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. These Instructors are assisted by female MIT undergraduate students who also live in the dorm as Residential Tutors. WTP is not a certified academic program and you do not receive college credit.
Students write programs (using
the JAVA language) and create team projects that apply their newly learned
programming, problem solving and degugging skills. In addition to the conceptual work
and labs, there is an extremely demanding project schedule including
a final project of the student's own choosing.
Students select and complete final team projects for their EE, CS,and Math classes. In past years a 3-day stand-alone motor building project has also allowed students to design and construct a DC motor. Specific special projects may change from year to year. We are looking for students who are not yet certain about their future college majors, who love and excel at math and science, and who would like to explore engineering and computer science in an academically challenging environment with other talented young women to determine whether these fields might be of interest. Applicants should have high grades in all their high school classes, and be taking the most advanced classes in science and math (appropriate for their grade level) offered at their schools. Students admitted to WTP typically have little or no prior experience with engineering or computer science; however, they must be able to handle fast-paced college-level work. For more information about who should apply to WTP and admissions criteria, visit our Application page.
