Castaic resident Andrew Euredjian returns following intensive research project

Andrew Euredjian, of Castaic, a member of the Class of 2021 majoring in computer science and robotics engineering at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, was a member of a student team that recently completed an intense, hands-on research through the WPI project center in Cordoba, Argentina.

The project was titled Translating and Localizing a Mathematics Tutoring System to a Spanish Speaking Country. In the project summary, the student wrote, “MathSpring, formerly known as

Wayang Outpost, is an intelligent tutoring system purposed towards assisting students with learning various topics in mathematics. After seeing success with students in the United States, we localized MathSpring to Argentinian schools through translating the system to Spanish in the hope of achieving the same or similar success.”

At WPI, all undergraduates are required to complete a researchdriven, professional-level project that applies science and technology to addresses an important societal need or issue. About twothirds of students complete a project at one of the university’s 50-plus off-campus project centers, which are located around the world. A signature element of the undergraduate experience at WPI, the project-based curriculum offers students the opportunity to apply their scientific and technical knowledge to develop thoughtful solutions to real problems that affect the quality of people’s lives and make a difference before they graduate.
