receive a Massachusetts Initial Teaching License in middle or high school science, math, or technology/engineering often within 4 years. Specific content courses are required to meet State Subject Matter Knowledge requirements for each content area but these are generally covered by courses in the student’s major. By joining this program, a student is able to pursue their content area of choice as well as make a difference in the lives of middle and high school students. Students wishing to discuss or pursue this opportunity should see Shari Weaver (STEM Education Center) and/or visit www.wpi.edu/+teach. Applications are available online and should be submitted no later than B term of sophomore year.
Teacher Prep students must complete the following requirements: • Successfully complete a teaching practicum in a local public middle or high school, often completed as an IQP • Pass the state MTEL teaching test in (1) Communication and Literacy Skills and (2) relevant subject matter • Participate in four senior year workshops Item # PSY 2401 PSY 2410 ID 3100 ID 3200

Mission Statement Robotics combines sensing, computation, and actuation in the real world, defined as intelligent connection from perception to action. Intelligent robotics is playing a key role in the fourth industrial revolution as it fuses technologies that connect physical, digital, biological, and social spheres. Robotics is becoming omnipresent in serving societal needs, with wide-range applications, including medicine and healthcare, transportation, manufacturing, material handling, exploration in space and deep sea, defense, domestic help, search and rescue, and emergency responses.
Program Educational Objectives Graduates of the Robotics Engineering program are expected to: 1. Successfully: 1. attain professional careers in robotics and related industries, academia, and government; 2. expand human knowledge through research and development; and/or 3. develop entrepreneurial engineering activities. 2. Engage in life-long and continuous learning, including advanced degrees. 3. Exert leadership over multi-disciplinary projects and teams. 4. Contribute as responsible professionals through community service, mentoring, instructing, and guiding their professions in ethical directions.
