Programs are offered in the departments of Applied and Computational Mathematics, Applied Physics, Biomedical Engineering, Chemical and Environmental Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical and Computer Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering. These departments are administered by the Dean of the School of Engineering & Applied Science. The School also offers interdisciplinary courses bearing on engineering programs.

Curricula in Yale's undergraduate engineering and applied science programs range from technically intensive to less technical content, allowing students freedom to identify a program of study that meets their needs. Programs accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, Inc.—the accreditor for university programs in engineering—are the most intensive. ABET-accredited programs include B.S. degrees in Chemical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering.

Some students find that less intensive programs better meet their needs when considering two majors and/or careers in fields requiring less comprehensive technical knowledge. Such non-ABET programs include the B.S. in Applied Physics, Biomedical Engineering, Computer Science, or Environmental Engineering and the B.S. in Engineering Sciences—Chemical, Electrical, or Mechanical—as well as the B.A. in Computer Science or in Engineering Sciences—Electrical, Environmental, or Mechanical—designed for students planning careers in business, law, medicine, journalism, or politics who want their liberal arts education to include study of the impact that science and technology have on society.
