The applied mathematics and engineering program at Queen’s offers a unique education experience that produces problems solvers with the technical and theoretical knowledge to engage in modern problems in mathematics and engineering. The selection of advanced technical courses and a rigorous approach to problem solving from an engineering perspective allows students to understand not just which tools to use to solve a problem, but also how these tools work on a deeper level. By a student’s third and fourth year they are taking courses equivalent to many first or second year graduate courses at other institutions, providing a great head start and solid foundation for those pursing future studies.
"There is great collaboration with other students on research projects, and a chance to learn and grow together."

I would also like to note the incredible community and faculty of the department. There is great collaboration with other students on research projects, and a chance to learn and grow together. I have many fond memories working with other students on projects in my time. Additionally, the faculty make great effort to be engaged in student development and make themselves available for student questions and ideas. I am currently in my third year in the Statistics and Data Science PhD program at Yale University. When I first arrived here, the faculty where surprised at the level of knowledge I possessed as a new student, and I attribute this to my time at Queen’s. I rely almost daily on the concepts I learned early on in my studies at Queens, and this solid foundation has allowed me to purse my goals in research. For anyone interested in engaging with the deeper theory behind engineering and applied math problems, I would highly recommend the applied mathematics and engineering program at Queen’s.
