Biomedical Engineering at Yale has two related goals: first, the use of the tools and methods of engineering to better understand human physiology and disease; second, the development of new technologies for diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of human disease. Yale has a long history of excellence in Biomedical Engineering. At Yale, Biomedical Engineering is a tightly-integrated, interdisciplinary department, composed of faculty members from both the School of Engineering & Applied Science and the School of Medicine.

Scholarships
A financial aid award typically includes a need-based Yale Scholarship and a student contribution (which consists of a term time job and student income). Students are not expected to take out loans. Yale financial aid covers 100% of demonstrated financial need for all undergraduates.
Yale is committed to a need-blind admissions policy and meets 100% of demonstrated need for all students regardless of citizenship. Yale does not require students to take out loans for their education. Instead, Yale meets 100% of demonstrated need for all admitted students with a financial aid package consisting of need-based scholarships, term-time employment, and a student income contribution.
Similar to admission to Yale, which includes a holistic evaluation of all parts of the admissions application, applying for financial aid at Yale is a highly individualized process. Financial aid officers review every student’s aid application carefully to ensure they understand each family’s individual financial situation. While each financial aid award is tailored to a specific family, here’s a general introduction to what you can expect from a Yale financial aid package. The Award Every financial aid calculation consists of three interconnected parts :
– Cost of Attendance : Tuition, room, board, books, travel expenses and personal expenses for one Yale student for one full academic year.
– Expected Family Contribution : The amount a student’s family is expected to contribute towards the cost of a Yale education. Yale financial aid officers calculate this number every year based on the information you provide.
– Demonstrated Financial Need : The amount that remains after a family’s Expected Family Contribution is subtracted from the Cost of Attendance.

Course Structure
Upper level undergraduate students in Biomedical Engineering select from classroom experiences in engineering, biology, and medicine and are introduced to independent research projects through one or more semester-long “Special Projects,” which are designed together with faculty advisors. Juniors will take core courses on the fundamentals of Biomedical Engineering, focused on mathematical modeling of transport processes and physiological systems. They will also take a full-year laboratory covering a number of current topics in the field. In addition, students will take at least three courses in a particular track (biomedical imaging, biomechanics, and biomolecular engineering), as well as a Senior Seminar to give them a broader perspective of the fields. Finally, it is important to note that as part of their Senior (Special) Project, Yale Biomedical Engineering students will select from research projects that combine Engineering and clinical medicine to address a range of important problems with direct impact on human health care such as:
- The design of biomaterials and reactors for tissue engineering,
- The non-invasive imaging of function in human tissue,
- The measurement and modeling of cardiovascular mechanics,
- The use of drug delivery systems to treat cancer and infectious disease,
- The analysis of mechanisms of blood flow control,
- The use of integrated anatomical and functional imaging to guide neurosurgical procedures.
This is an exciting time for biomedical engineers at Yale as they are uniquely trained to create new knowledge at the interface of the biological and physical sciences, and Yale has a superb, interactive, and well-supported environment for exploring this interface. This knowledge will lead to the development of technology that both enhances human health and reduces health care costs to society.

Requirements
Research & Technical Papers
Yale’s initiative in Biomedical Engineering involves the creation of enhanced opportunities and facilities for student research projects in key areas of biomolecular engineering: particularly drug delivery, tissue engineering, and biomaterials. These areas intersect with our existing research strengths in biomedical imaging (which emphasizes image processing, computer vision, and functional imaging) and biomechanics (particularly cardiovascular mechanics and orthopedics).
Engineering students are often eager to start research projects. Our favorable student-to-faculty ratio allows each student to work directly with a faculty mentor to identify research opportunities geared to their interests. All students must complete a Senior Project that may include research that prepares them for graduate study in Engineering, either at Yale or other top-rated universities. Examples of Student Research and Senior Projects can be viewed on the Senior Projects page.
Department or Program-sponsored social events also provide another opportunity for incoming engineering students to meet engineering majors and learn about traditional research opportunities as well as the activities of student engineering organizations. This exposure is the gateway to research activity, typically begun the summer after freshman year. For the motivated and well-prepared students, student engineering organizations provide a great opportunity for getting hands-on experience in research and development.

Recommendations
Two Teacher Recommendations*
High school teachers can provide extremely helpful information in their evaluations. Not only do they discuss your performance in their particular class or classes, but they may also write about your motivation, intellectual curiosity, energy, relationships with classmates, and impact on the classroom environment. It is important that you solicit recommendations from teachers who have taught you in academic subjects, who know you well, and who have seen you at your best. It is also preferable that letters come from teachers who have taught you during your junior or senior year of high school. Please ask your teachers for letters of recommendation well in advance of application deadlines to give them ample time to write a strong letter for you. Teachers may submit letters of recommendation online, using a link you can provide them through the Common Application. Alternately, they may mail or fax letters of recommendation.
