三、伍斯特理工学院的教研情况
Worcester Polytechnic Institute was founded in 1865 to create and convey the latest science and engineering knowledge in ways that are most beneficial to society.
Today, WPI holds firm to its founding mission to provide an education that balances theory with practice, a philosophy symbolized by the towers of our two original buildings.
WPI's 14 academic departments offer more than 50 undergraduate and graduate degree programs in science, engineering, technology, business, the social sciences, and the humanities and arts, leading to bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degrees.
The university’s curriculum features a flexible, rigorous program that is project-based and globally engaged, aimed at quality experience and a positive impact for the communities it partners with. WPI faculty members--recently ranked top in the nation for quality and accessibility, as reported by the Wall Street Journal--work with students on interdisciplinary research seeking solutions to important and socially relevant problems, both on campus and at more than 40 project centers throughout the Americas, Africa, Asia-Pacific, and Europe.
1865年，伍斯特理工学院成立。初衷是以对社会最为有利的方式创造和传播最新的科学工程知识。
今天，伍斯特理工学院更加坚定了初衷。其教育平衡了理论和实践，并由两栋老建筑的塔楼体现出来。
伍斯特理工学院下设14个学术部门，提供本科生和研究生学位计划50多个，涵盖科学、工程、技术、商务、社科、人文和艺术等领域，并授予学士学位、硕士学位和博士学位。
伍斯特理工学院的课程以灵活、严谨为特点，以项目为基础，注重全球参与，努力提供优质体验，对合作伙伴产生积极影响。学院的教职员工被最新的《华尔街日报》评为美国顶级的教员，与学生有跨学科研究合作，努力寻找重要的社会相关问题的解决办法。学院的研究不局限于校园，在美洲、非洲、亚太和欧洲等地区有40多个项目中心。
