Assessing the Impacts of Worcester Polytechnic Institute's Melbourne Project Center
公开 DepositedThis project assessed the impacts of WPI’s Melbourne Project Center projects on the Melbourne partner organizations and their communities. We developed an assessment tool and methods which were used to conduct the impact assessment on individual, organizational, community, and system levels of impact and to study project characteristics. Interviews were conducted with six project center directors and three WPI assessment experts to help with developing the assessment tool, as well as thirteen liaisons from eight partner organizations that have worked on WPI projects in the last five years to assess the impacts of Melbourne Project Center projects. From these interviews with project center directors, assessment experts, and liaisons from partner organizations, we found that there was the most evidence of impacts on the organizational level. Also, as a result of analyzing the project characteristics, we developed a method for correlating project types to the levels of impact. Based on the findings, recommendations were formulated for the Global Projects Program, the Melbourne Project Center’s local coordinator, the partner organizations, and the future impact assessment team.
