Research

WPI students have ample opportunity to become involved in research that tackles important real-world problems at the frontiers of knowledge. Our project-based undergraduate curriculum makes meaningful, well-designed inquiry a degree requirement. And WPI's research enterprise brings graduate students and faculty together to work closely on new discoveries and innovations.
