On-Campus IQPs
A central task of the IQP is for you and your team to
identify the core problem that underlies your project, and then to develop and
execute a plan that addresses this core problem in a meaningful way. In the 21 weeks
you will have spent preparing for the
experience and also on the actual project on site, you may or may not be able
to completely “solve” your project’s problem, but you are expected to
contribute significantly to an understanding of all the issues connected with
it and to make substantive progress in planning and implementing a solution.
Understanding “what the problem is” is not a trivial exercise: for some IQPs it
is not unrealistic that the main work of the project will be creating a
clear understanding of the problem. Almost all IQPs require that teams
constantly revise their understanding of the project problem as they learn more
about the many technical and social issues connected with it.
