About this major

The Major in Computational Engineering provides students with a thorough grounding in the fundamental numerical and computational techniques used in fluids and structures engineering packages, in combination with the use of engineering modelling based on physical principles. It provides an understanding of parallel computer hardware and parallel programming including domain decomposition and message passing. It enables students to develop and use engineering packages with an understanding of convergence, accuracy, efficiency and validation. This major allows students the opportunity to undertake a major project in a specialist area of computational engineering.
