Fire Protection
"The experience has been great. I learn the concepts in class and work with them the next day in real life. It's been a tremendous professional development experience."
—Marty Pabich
Sr. Project Engineer,
Underwriters Laboratories
The past few decades have been a period of dramatic change in the science and practice of fire protection engineering. The evolution has been toward performance-based design, codes and standards, and various forms of fire modeling applications. All of these changes have created a need for the continuing professional development of practicing engineers.
Fire protection engineering graduate certificate and degree programs at WPI adapt previous academic and professional experiences into a cohesive plan of study. Programs are designed to be flexible enough to meet your unique educational objectives and professional goals.
