It is the true entrepreneur who can size up the possibilities and strike while the iron is hot. At WPI, we have endeavored to make the spirit of entrepreneurship an integral part of our culture, and it is something we try to instill in every student. WPI faculty members have demonstrated their entrepreneurial talents, too, by seizing opportunities to be at the vanguard of their fields and by filling niches no one else has recognized. There are niches to be filled in education, as well. For example, WPI is responding to the needs of employers and students with the world's first undergraduate degree program in system dynamics modeling.
