Technical Education
The support of technical education is a key element of Draper's corporate mission and is manifested at all levels of learning. The research-based Draper Laboratory Fellow Program sponsors about 50 graduate students each year. Students typically go on to leadership positions in the government, military, industry, and education. Draper also supports on-campus funded research with faculty and principal investigators through the University R&D program. Undergraduate student employment and internship opportunities are available as well.

Famous quotes containing the words technical and/or education:
“I rather think the cinema will die. Look at the energy being exerted to revive it—yesterday it was color, today three dimensions. I don’t give it forty years more. Witness the decline of conversation. Only the Irish have remained incomparable conversationalists, maybe because technical progress has passed them by.”
—Orson Welles (1915–1984)
“There must be a profound recognition that parents are the first teachers and that education begins before formal schooling and is deeply rooted in the values, traditions, and norms of family and culture.”
—Sara Lawrence Lightfoot (20th century)
