COMPUTER SCIENCE




 

 

WPI’s Computer Science department is as diverse and varied as the field of
computer science itself, offering courses 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. WPI stays at the forefront of this ever-growing industry so that as
society's use of computers expands, our students are confident in their
knowledge of developing technologies in the real world through their work on
large-scale team projects that make a real difference to the community.

Our hands-on education ensures that graduates of the Computer Science program
leave WPI as problem-solvers and accomplished researchers who are ready to hit
the ground running and make immediate contributions to this exciting and dynamic
field.

Future of Robots in the Workplace – Research & Development Program



Robots will steal (some of) our jobs, and this may not necessarily be a bad
thing. It is inevitable that robotic interfaces and assistants will play a
bigger role in the workplace in the decades ahead of us. Yet, as current
robotics research shows, robots perform better at tasks that are considerably
difficult for humans and fail in tasks that are easy for humans. As such, the
future of work depends on how well we can establish a division of labor between
robots and humans, so that robots will perform tasks that are risky and
dangerous, and humans will focus on higher-level, more meaningful, and yet
easier, value-added activities that are less strenuous.


CAREERS IN COMPUTER SCIENCE

The widespread and increasing use of computers and information technology
has generated a need for highly trained, innovative workers with extensive
practical and theoretical expertise. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
continually predicts a faster-than-average growth rate in computer science jobs,
thanks to the continued creation and adoption of new technologies.
