Computational Applied Science and Engineering

Program Summary

Graduate education in Computational Science and Engineering (CMSE) is offered through an interdisciplinary program among the Departments of the College of Arts and Sciences and the College of Engineering.

In this program graduate students are trained on modern computational science techniques and their applications to solve scientific and engineering problems.

New technological problems and associated research challenges heavily depend on computational modeling and problem solving.

Because of the availability of powerful and inexpensive computers model-based computational experimentation is now a standard approach to analysis and design of complex systems where real experiments can be expensive or infeasible.

Graduates of the CMSE Program should be capable of formulating solutions to computational problems through the use of multidisciplinary knowledge gained from a combination of classroom and laboratory experiences in basic sciences and engineering.
