Harvard Division of Engineering and Applied Sciences
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Harvard University's School of Engineering and Applied Science (HSEAS), a school within Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FAS), serves as the connector and integrator of Harvard’s teaching and research efforts in engineering, applied sciences, and technology.
HSEAS lists its core tenets as---educating broad-minded students; interdisciplinary research; integration across disciplines; and balancing theory, experimentation, and practice---in support of its mission of collaborating with researchers from all parts of Harvard, other universities, and industry, to bring discovery and innovation directly to bear on improving human life and society.
HSEAS is designed to create “renaissance engineers” or students who excel in applied science, but also have a broad knowledge of other disciplines. Because of Harvard's liberal arts environment, all undergraduates, regardless of concentration, must take classes in several categories: foreign cultures, historical study, literature and the arts, moral reasoning, quantitative reasoning, science, and social analysis.
Undergraduates can pursue programs in Computer Science (A.B.); Engineering Sciences (A.B., and S.B. – ABET Accredited); and Applied Mathematics (A.B.).
At the graduate level, the Division offers S.M., M.E., and Ph.D. options covering interdisciplinary research areas including: Applied Mathematics, Applied Physics, Bioengineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Environmental Sciences and Engineering, Mechanical Engineering. In addition graduate students may puruse collaborative options: Engineering and Physical Biology (with the Faculty of Arts and Sciences); Information, Technology and Management (joint with the Harvard Business School); Medical Engineering and Medical Physics; (Harvard/MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology); and Systems Biology (with Harvard Medical School).
The current Harvard Dean of Engineering and Applied Sciences is Venkatesh "Venky" Narayanamurti, who has served in that role since 1998.
