Worcester Polytechnic Institute

Dean named to dean’s list

Worcester Polytechnic Institute has announced Stephanie Dean, of Coplay, a member of the Class of 2025 majoring in civil engineering, was named to the university’s dean’s list for academic excellence for the fall 2023 semester. A total of 2,299 undergraduate students achieved the criteria required for WPI’s list.

The criteria for this honor differs from most other universities as WPI does not compute a grade-point average. Instead, WPI defines the dean’s list by the amount of work completed at the A level in courses and projects.

WPI, a global leader in project-based learning, is a distinctive, top-tier technological university founded in 1865 on the principle that students learn most effectively by applying the theory learned in the classroom to the practice of solving real-world problems. Recognized by the National Academy of Engineering with the 2016 Bernard M. Gordon Prize for Innovation in Engineering and Technology Education, WPI’s pioneering project-based curriculum engages undergraduates in solving important scientific, technological and societal problems throughout their education and at more than 50 project centers around the world.

WPI offers more than 70 bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degree programs across 18 academic departments in science, engineering, technology, business, the social sciences and the humanities and arts. Its faculty and students pursue groundbreaking research to meet ongoing challenges in health and biotechnology; robotics and the Internet of Things; advanced materials and manufacturing; cyber, data and security systems; learning science; and more.
