Aerospace Engineering
Embracing the science and technologies that create, develop, and improve aircraft and spacecraft, the Aerospace Engineering program at WPI places the focus on both fundamental engineering principles and specialized aeronautical and astronautical engineering topics. Students gain hands-on experience through the completion of an aerospace-related Major Qualifying Project (MQP) and lab work.
Aerospace Engineering also encourages each student’s creative talents, with the goal of developing a personal high standard of excellence and professionalism. The program seeks to instill an appreciation of the role of aerospace engineers in society.
