Manufacturing Engineering

At WPI, we look at the materials around us and make them better or change them through manufacturing processes and business practices to meet industry and consumer needs. WPI’s Manufacturing Engineering program focuses on producing engineering designs that bring ideas into practical, cost-effective use in a production process that is less expensive, safer, and healthier for the planet.

Manufacturing engineering students work one-on-one with WPI’s renowned faculty who are leaders in fields like robotics, manufacturing and materials processing, control systems, machining, grinding, teaching CNC machining, materials engineering, and surface metrology.

Research at WPI is hands-on and cutting edge as we seek ways to advance the field while always improving manufacturing processes. Students address environmental issues in industrial processes and consider each task with a perspective on manufacturing’s global influence.
