WPI faculty researchers collaborate with partners to investigate and apply solutions to challenges in such areas as healthcare, manufacturing, public safety, education, and energy.
Here, an emphasis on applied research means faculty and students engage in work that can translate into products, services, or other intellectual property. We offer areas, facilities and instrumentation for collaboration between our students, faculty, alumni, and community and industry leaders.
In addition, academic scholarship in engineering and applied science and pragmatic inventive activity are highly integrated throughout the university. This practical tradition originates from a strong history of cross and interdisciplinary research, industrial associations, and applications with other like-minded institutions.
