Graduate Study
The mission of the Yale School of Engineering & Applied Science is to prepare our students to become leaders of technology by helping them to develop technical competence and confidence.
Yale engineering graduates are working at the forefront of technology and science and have made outstanding contributions to society in the form of innovative technologies and significant research discoveries.
Our Engineering program rests on a strong and broad foundation of related sciences and has been successfully developing emerging technologies.
Yale is among the top ten of 100 federally-funded U.S. universities with the highest citation impact of their published research papers from 1997-2001 in 21 major fields of science and the social sciences, says Science Watch, Institute for Scientific Information, ISI, 2002, Vol. 13, No. 5 and No. 6. In Engineering, Yale ranks first in average-citations-per paper, on a percentage basis, against the world impact average in the field.
Yale's engineering Graduate Program is interdisciplinary and flexible. Graduate students develop their own course of study and research in consultation with faculty.
Two of our Program's recent developments are particularly noteworthy.
First, a new engineering building dedicated to research, the Daniel L. Malone Center, was opened in the Fall of 2005. The building was made possible by a $24 million gift from Dr. John Malone '63 B.E.
The second is the establishment of the Center for Research on Interface Structures and Phenomena (CRISP), a National Science Foundation Materials Research Science and Engineering Center. The Center involves faculty and students from four of the engineering departments in multidisciplinary research on the composition, structure, properties and potential applications of solid–solid and solid–gas interfaces.
Let me wish you all the best in your studies, and feel free to contact my office with your questions.
