耶鲁大学的工程计划为学生提供了一个在支持和灵活的环境中的跨学科经验。应届毕业生应在咨询委员会的咨询下发展自己的学习和研究课程，该咨询委员会包括代表感兴趣的研究领域的三名或以上教职员工。该教师指导的合议性质可确保学生获得均衡的支持水平。被录取进入我们的研究生课程的学生通常会在整个学习期间获得支持（学费和津贴），前提是他们的表现令人满意。我们计划的独特之处在于大学奖学金的第一年学习。这使学生有财务上的独立性，可以与不同的教职人员一起探索各种研究可能性。第一年后，期望学生与教职顾问建立研究关系。我们的计划使学生
The online publication Qualification Procedure for the Ph.D. Degree in Engineering & Applied Science describes in detail all requirements in Biomedical Engineering, Chemical & Environmental Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering & Materials Science. Students plan their course of study in consultation with faculty advisers (the student's advisory committee). A minimum of ten term courses is required, to be completed in the first two years. Well-prepared students may petition for course waivers based on courses taken in a previous graduate degree program.
