WPI students pursuing a master's in materials engineering perform breakthrough materials research alongside faculty from many disciplines. WPI’s varied research facilities offer equipment and space to conduct experiments on many materials to discover their behaviors in different conditions and new uses and applications based on your findings.
Students pursuing a master's in materials science and engineering have access to conduct research through the Metal Processing Institute which includes three centers that support pre-competitive fundamental research, large-scale federally funded government projects, and proprietary research for MPI members.
