This is a diverse and growing area for the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS). It encompasses many areas including bio-materials, bio-mechanics including robotics, biophysics and neuromotor control. The model programs for most of these areas are under development. Students should consult their field advisor and Professors Howe or Mooney for guidance in constructing a program in an area other then cells, tissue and bio materials.

Students in Harvard’s School of Engineering and Applied Sciences have complete access to the opportunities, advising, and resources through the Office of Career Services (OCS) including summer funding, research opportunities, and study abroad.
Internships
SEAS foster relationships with corporations, foundations, governmental organizations, and other partners to advance education, research, and innovation in areas of mutual interest; encourage technology transfer to advance research and spur innovation; and, by virtue of our integrated and multidisciplinary nature, facilitate connections throughout the University.
partners have numerous avenues for engagement, including industry lectures, outreach workshops and seminars, visits to meet faculty and researchers, recruitment activities, and commercialization opportunities.
Requirements
Research & Technical Papers
School of engineering and applied science (SEAS ) encourage serious-minded candidates (i.e. those who have a clear sense of what they would like to do and whom they would like to work with) to get in touch with relevant faculty to discuss their research plans.
Student who become involved with a research project, take part in research internships during the summer, or work in an industry research lab those get max benefit in study.
Text / Exam Scores
All programs require the General GRE test scores; some require the GRE Subject test scores (some programs allow the GMAT to substitute, see Program Details). Some programs require specific undergraduate courses, languages, or quantitative expertise.
