Industrial Design Engineering at Harvard

[HSMCCP]

<p>I am most highly interested in Industrial Design Engineering and Economics / Corporate Finance & Management. In regards to the former, Industrial Design Engineering uses applied art and sciences to deal with the aesthetics, ergonomics, and usability of a product: tangible, such as your everyday iPod, or digital, such as a website or app. In particular, I am leaning towards the latter aspect of IDE, one that deals with information technology for graphics + user experience and interface in website and mobile development. I know Harvard’s engineering department is still developing and is nowhere near the likes of engineering at Stanford or MIT, but it is still a school that I can see myself at. At this point, I don’t really want to restrain myself to Stanford, even if it proffers seemingly the exact opportunities for my very desires, with its diversity and variety in Engineering field and course selection that can be easily combined with its strong economics and corporate management program, along with its proximity to Silicon Valley — but I don’t want to reside in the same state where I’ve grown up in; I really want to be on the East Coast for college. As for MIT, the social life and culture doesn’t really appeal to me. Under which of the following areas would my engineering field interest closely align with at H? What other suggestions would you give me?</p>

<p>

Applied Mathematics</p>

<p>Applied Mathematics focuses on the creation and study of mathematical and computational tools broadly applicable in science and engineering, and on their use in solving challenging problems in these and related fields.</p>

<p>Applied Physics</p>

<p>The frontier of high-energy physics is “the even smaller” and that of astrophysics is “the ever larger.” Applied Physics, of which the study of condensed matter is a large part, has its own frontier, “the ever more complex,” covering the interfaces of physics, chemistry, biology, and engineering.</p>

<p>Bioengineering</p>

<p>The application of engineering principles and techniques to address problems in biology and medicine has resulted in a number of important contributions to health and scientific discovery. Research includes understanding aspects of biological function and tackling medical problems by developing instruments and devices that, for example, mimic biological organs or assist in drug delivery.</p>

<p>Computer Science</p>

<p>Faculty and students in computer science investigate a wide range of topics, including ground-breaking work in provably secure cryptography, the implementation of sensor nets, developments at the interface of economics and computer science, and discoveries in VLSI.</p>

<p>Electrical Engineering</p>

<p>Electrical Engineering covers a range of research areas from devices to systems. The emphasis on practice infused with fundamental science and mathematics offers ample research opportunities, both theoretical and experimental, at the forefront of the field and its interdisciplinary applications.</p>

<p>Environmental Science and Engineering</p>

<p>Faculty are engaged in finding engineered solutions to the problems in the atmospheric, terrestrial, and aquatic compartments of the earth’s environment. Research ranges from atmospheric sciences to microbiology, climate, oceanography, environmental chemistry, water management, and international environmental policy.</p>

<p>Materials Science & Mechanical Engineering</p>

<p>Materials Science & Mechanical Engineering research ranges from fundamental work in solid and fluid mechanics to diverse studies in materials, mechanical systems, and biomechanics. Key areas of investigation include mechanics of materials, structures, and geophysical and biological systems involved phenomena such as elasticity, plasticity, buckling, fracture, and wave motion.

<p>Given the specificity of your engineering interests, I really don’t think that Harvard is the school for you: nor are your choices for reaches, even among schools that give the best educations in the country, limited to Harvard, MIT, and Stanford.</p>

<p>too late, i already applied to them plus some ivies and some UCs xP</p>
