WPI students are faced with an intense, fast-paced environment given the 7-week terms of a project-based curriculum, which puts them at a need to achieve their goals efficiently. WPI has more than 185 resources to help students be productive and reach their full potential, but finding and navigating them to access important information efficiently is time consuming and cumbersome. Further, the majority of resources are unknown to students. The existing Mobile WPI App provides students access some resources, but the App remains underutilized due to its poor design, functionality, and marketing. To address this problem, the WPI Mobile App IQP Team redesigned and redeveloped the existing WPI Mobile App to create a connected community of WPI resources, ensuring that students have the best experience.
