  1. The A.B. and S.B. at Harvard: A Comparison Marie Dillon Dahleh Division of Engineering and Applied Sciences Harvard University

  2. Educational Objective • “To provide students in Engineering Sciences a solid foundation in engineering within the setting of a liberal arts college for preparation for a diverse range of careers in industry and government or for advanced work in engineering, business, law or medicine.”

  3. Purpose of a Harvard Education • “A “liberal education” prepares students for lives that go beyond the short term, practical problem solving; it leaves them with critical skills and interests in the larger problems of living in society.” • “The purpose of a Harvard education must be precisely this: to expand one’s ability to reason more critically and creatively.”

  4. Degree requirements • 32 courses • Writing requirement ( 1 course) • 7 courses to complete core (GE) • Foreign language requirement ( 0-2 course) • A.B. engineering science (14-16 courses)-6-8 free electives • S.B. engineering science ( 20 course) 2 free electives

  5. Specializations • biomedical sciences and engineering (BSE) • decision and control (DC) ( A.B. only) • electrical engineering and computer science (EECS) • engineering physics (EP) ( A.B. only) • environmental sciences and engineering (EECS) • mechanical and material science and engineering (MMSE)

  6. A.B. 2 years calculus 1 year physics 1 computer science 9-11 engineering courses determined by specialization S.B. 2 years calculus 1 year physics 1 computer science one year of chemistry an electronics course a mechanics course Adv. applied math course a materials course a prob. and statistics course two courses in design 4 engineering courses general requirements

  7. Demographics • Currently 119 students • 49 sophomores, 20 A.B. and 29 S.B. • 40 juniors, 20 A.B. and 20 S.B. • 30 seniors, 13 A.B. and 17 S.B. • 36 are women: ( 30%) 12 A.B. ( 26%) 24 S.B. (36%) • 83 are men: 41 A.B. 42 S.B.
