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:
“The best work of artists in any age is the work of innocence liberated by technical knowledge. The laboratory experiments that led to the theory of pure color equipped the impressionists to paint nature as if it had only just been created.”
—Nancy Hale (b. 1908)
“Major [William] McKinley visited me. He is on a stumping tour.... I criticized the bloody-shirt course of the canvass. It seems to me to be bad “politics,” and of no use.... It is a stale issue. An increasing number of people are interested in good relations with the South.... Two ways are open to succeed in the South: 1. A division of the white voters. 2. Education of the ignorant. Bloody-shirt utterances prevent division.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
