Founded in Worcester, in 1865, WPI was one of the nation’s earliest technological universities. Its continuing mission has been to create and convey the latest science and engineering knowledge in ways that would be most useful to the society. The WPI curriculum has remained true to its original mission of fusing academic inquiry with social needs, of blending abstraction with immediacy, of linking new knowledge to applications.
