<h2>
       WPI: First in Robotics Engineering
    </h2>
    <p>
       A robotics revolution is underway, and a new breed of engineers will be needed to face the challenges that this exciting field represents. WPI, the leader in project-based education, continues its pioneering tradition by developing the nation&#39;s first bachelor&#39;s degree program in robotics engineering. &#160;In 2009, WPI also announced the introduction of the Robotics Engineering master&#39;s program.
    </p>
    <p>
       Watch a short video on WPI&#39;s Robotics Engineering program. Then, join the robotics revolution at WPI!
    </p>
    <p>
       Watch the video [<a href="http://media.wpi.edu/Academics/Depts/Robotics/robotics-promo.wmv" title="Robotics Promo 2009" target="_self">WMV</a>]
    </p>
    <h2>
       Robotics Engineering at WPI
    </h2>
    <p>
       <em>The greatest inventions begin with a little imagination...</em>
    </p>
    <ul>
      <li>
        You know that robots will make a difference in the world
      </li>
      <li>
        You want to be part of this new and exciting field of study
      </li>
      <li>
        Your imagination knows no limits
      </li>
    </ul>
    <p>
       If this sounds like you, the Robotics Engineering program at WPI is for you.
    </p>
    <p>
       Robotics Engineering at WPI is a multi-disciplinary program involving the fields of Mechanical Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering and Computer Science.
    </p>
    <p>
       Your classes in Mechanical, and Electrical and Computer Engineering will help you learn to construct the robot. Your classes in Computer Science will teach you how to control the robot&#39;s behavior. You'll graduate from the program with a well-rounded education and a promising future in the rapidly growing Robotics industry.
