Applied Physics

Biomedical Engineering

Applied Physics prepares students for academic and industrial careers at the forefront of science and technology. Teaching and research are focused on fundamental issues in condensed matter and optical physics and on the practical application of these concepts and techniques to technology. This balance between fundamental science and application makes our program highly interdisciplinary, having strong collaborations across numerous Yale departments.

Electrical Engineering

Mechanical Engineering & Materials Science

Electrical Engineering is the largest and most diverse technological field in the world. Electrical engineers successfully pursue careers not only in practice and applied scientific research, but also in a wide range of non-technical areas such as corporate management, finance, and commerce.

DEPARTMENT SITE »

Mechanical engineering is among the most diversified of the traditional engineering disciplines. Mechanical engineers design and build machines and devices that enable humans to live and work in space, in the air, on the ground, and under water. Their machines can extend our physical capabilities and improve our health and standard of living.
