Computational Engineering
The development of Engineering Analysis and design tools for Complex Engineering problems is facilitated through the International Masters programme in Computational Engineering. Computing tools for the development of Engineering software tools are pervasive. They involve CPU intensive calculations in most disciplines such as, Aerospace, Civil, Chemical, Electrical, Mechanical, Materials, Naval Engineering etc. The graduates from this program will reinforce their Simulation and Mathematical modelling expertise in their core Engineering discipline. This is facilitated through a focused bundle of courses that hone their skill set on tools and techniques from Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, and their own discipline in a structured and systematic way. The graduates are expected to compete and reinforce the development of Engineering software development.
