The REU site focuses on mathematics and statistics applied to industrial problems. The problems come from local business and industry, partners of WPI's Center for Industrial Mathematics and Statistics. The students work closely with a company representative who introduces them to the problem and guides their work to a solution the company can really use. The faculty advisor helps them maintain a focus on the mathematical issue at the core of the problem. The whole experience is designed to provide the students with a glimpse of the ways that advanced mathematics is used to solve real-world problems.The selection of students is based on academic qualifications, career objectives and past work experience. Working in teams of 2 to 4, students meet daily with the faculty advisor and provide oral and written progress reports for the other teams and the company representative. In this way, the projects help develop some skills in communication and teamwork that are crucial for success in a nonacademic work environment.In addition presentations by mathematicians who work in industry and site-visits to companies contribute to providing the students with a complete image of industrial mathematics.

REU网站主要关注应用于工业问题的数学和统计学。 这些问题来自当地的商业和工业，WPI的工业数学和统计中心的合作伙伴。 学生与公司代表密切合作，公司代表向他们介绍问题并指导他们的工作，以找到公司真正可以使用的解决方案。 指导教师帮助他们保持对问题核心的数学问题的关注。 整个体验旨在为学生提供高等数学用于解决现实世界问题的方法的一瞥。学生的选择是基于学历，职业目标和过去的工作经验。 在2至4人的团队中工作，学生每天与教师顾问会面，并为其他团队和公司代表提供口头和书面进度报告。 通过这种方式，这些项目有助于培养一些沟通和团队合作的技能，这些技能对于在非学术工作环境中取得成功至关重要。此外，在工业界工作的数学家的演讲和对公司的实地访问有助于为学生提供工业数学的完整形象。
