Faculty

Engineering Science at Harvard is highly interdisciplinary. Eighty Harvard faculty members participate in teaching and research in engineering, applied sciences, and related areas, including chemistry, biology, earth and planetary sciences, and physics.

Facilities

Major research facilities, complete with clean rooms and wet labs, are located primarily in the Gordon McKay Laboratory and at 60 Oxford Street. The Laboratory for Integrated Science and Engineering (LISE) building opened in 2007 and the Northwest Science building opened in 2008. The Maxwell Dworkin Building (90,000 square feet) and historic Pierce Hall also serve as hubs of study and research.

Number of undergraduates

~ 150 undergraduates
