Computer Science
Computer scientists are integral to numerous aspects of our everyday lives and are responsible for advances in many diverse fields in the modern world such as computer security, the learning sciences, weather forecasting, smart phone application development, and network gaming. These industries are able to continuously evolve and improve through the work of computer scientists.
WPI’s Computer Science program is as diverse and varied as the field of computer science itself, offering course work and specializations in areas such as human-robotic interaction, intelligent tutoring and educational data mining, bioinformatics, computer security and privacy, and graphics and animation among many others.
Our project-enriched education ensures that graduates of the Computer Science program leave WPI as problem solvers who are ready to hit the ground running and make immediate contributions to this exciting and dynamic field.
Virtual Worlds that Reach Out and Touch
Until now, one could only experience virtual reality through sight and sound. But associate professor Robert Lindeman is creating technology that engages the other senses, particularly touch, making virtual reality more engaging and more real.
