Materials Process Engineering - ONLINE
WPI Corporate and Professional Education
The Materials Process Engineering Master’s Degree program will be available ONLINE starting in September, 2008. Through distance learning, this program is now more accessible for working professionals globally. WPI has offered its internationally recognized materials processing programs for 140 years.
Participants will become part of a cohort allowing them to work virtually with the same group of students throughout the duration of the degree program. All online courses are accessible through high-speed internet access, at a time and place that is convenient for the student. Group work will be scheduled by the participants on each team, and all work can be conducted online utilizing the many virtual tools offered through the “myWPI” portal.

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 Pres-Met.
The master’s degree program continues this outstanding legacy by providing engineers, scientists, and managers the knowledge, skills, and experience to become the entrepreneurs, trend setters, and executives in the materials processing industry in the new century.
Distance Learning
For over 20 years WPI has been delivering high-quality distance education to graduate students around the world. Courses are delivered online using a variety of technologies including streaming video, audio and text files, and simulations. Interaction between the student and professor occurs through various communication channels including email, fax, telephone, virtual chat, and discussion boards.
