PhD Program
Open House
for Prospective Students
Friday, November 20, 2009
8:30AM - 7PM
MIT Building E40's 2nd Floor

Sorry folks!
No more registrations can be accepted. The event is at capacity!
You are still welcome to attend the ESS Poster Session
5-7PM in 32G, 4th Floor, Next to the R&D Pub.
The Poster Session is the single best way to get to know the research
ESD's doctoral students are doing, and to have a chance to interact
with students and faculty members in an informal setting.
See you there!

When truly complex problems do not have purely technical solutions how do you:
  • Rebuild crumbling critical infrastructures?
  • Ensure the safety of complex systems?
  • Sustainably elevate a billion more people to the middle class?
  • Make health care affordable and available?
  • Manage the megacities of the future?
  • Work toward energy security?

Is pursuing a PhD from MIT's Engineering Systems Division right for you? Come to the Open House and get to know ESD's PhD Program: the research, the students, the faculty, the program.
