Yale > Political Science > About the department of Political Science

Yale has been home to some of the world's foremost political scientists, including Gabriel Almond, Robert Dahl, Karl Deutsch, Robert Lane, Harold Lasswell, and Charles Lindblom. The current faculty has been recruited from the best departments in the world. It includes practitioners of all the major methodologies of political science, scholars of many parts of the world, and a diverse political philosophy group. Many Political Science faculty also play active roles in related programs at Yale, such as the Program in Ethics, Politics, and Economics; Directed Studies; the Institution for Social And Policy Studies; the Center for International and Area Studies; The Robert Wood Johnson Program in Health Policy; and the Globalization Program. The Department also sponsors numerous seminars, lectures, and conferences that are open to all members of the Yale community. Next: Graduate program

Middle School Science Fair

Each year, Valley Catholic Middle School hosts a popular Catholic Schools' Science Fair competition for enthusiastic 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students. This year's event will be held the evening of Friday, April 18, 2008 at Valley Catholic School and promises to attract burgeoning young scientists from around the region! Sixty-two 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students from nine area schools qualified to compete in the 2007 Valley Catholic Middle School Regional Science Fair. Schools that participated included Valley Catholic Middle School, St. Mary of the Valley Grade School, St. Anthony of Tigard, St. Ignatius, St. Pius X, Visitation, St. Francis of Assisi, Holy Trinity and St. Vincent de Paul.

Home > Courses > Materials Science and Engineering Materials Science and Engineering Combustion synthesis of fullerenes and fullerenic nanostructures. Courtesy Vander Sande Lab The Department of Materials Science and Engineering traces its history back to the founding of MIT in 1865. Over these years, its central function has been the education of students by providing them with the opportunity to conduct independent and creative research at the forefront of materials science and engineering. Today the Department is the largest of its kind in the United States, and it is clearly the leader in many areas of materials education and research. The Department shares in creating the tradition of excellence for which MIT is known. The Department's strong record of achievement is solidly based on its continuing record of pioneering advances in engineering sciences and technologies, its ability to relate new developments and advances to engineering practice, its success in incorporating these advances into teaching and research programs, and its close relationship with industry. In advancing the frontiers of knowledge, the Department draws upon faculty and students with many diverse backgrounds. There are few fields of science or engineering that are not concerned in some way with materials. Indeed, the need for materials is as pervasive in our lives as is the need for energy. It has been estimated that the work of one in three engineers is directly related to materials, while over half of all engineers have at least an indirect concern for the properties of materials.
