Computational Science & Engineering Program

Many MS and PhD students in structural engineering with an interest in computational solid and structural mechanics elect to complete the College of Engineering CSE option. The CSE program enables graduate students without an undergraduate degree in computer science to gain knowledge and experience in parallel programming, visualization, advanced numerical methods and other related topics.

CSE students complete a small set of core courses within the CSE program - these courses count towards the graduation requirements in Civil & Environmental Engineering. Completion of the CSE option is noted on the official transcript.

We recommend that structural engineering students first complete CEE-490 (co-listed as CSE-491) before enrolling in the advanced CSE courses. CEE-490 Computer Methods, introduces students to the C++ language, design of object-oriented software, essential data structures and procedures to build simulation codes in a Unix environment.
