Materials Process Engineering
The founders of Worcester Polytechnic Institute made their fortunes in the materials processing industries of wire drawing (Ichabod Washburn) and tin smithing (John Boynton). Since classes began in 1868, WPI has prepared young men and women for careers in materials processing. Many WPI alumni and faculty members have established materials processing companies, including Norton Company, Wyman-Gordon, and PresMet.
The M.S. degree program in materials processing engineering continues this outstanding legacy by providing engineers, scientiests, and managers the knowledge, skills, and experience to become entrepreneurs, trend setters, and executives in the materials processing industry in the 21st century. This 30-credit program offers the opportunity for serious professionals to become leaders by selecting courses from three programs:
- Manufacturing Engineering
- Materials Science and Engineering
- Management/Industrial Engineering
