Overview

The Computational Engineering PhD program from Mississippi State University is open to students with undergraduate degrees in engineering, computer science, mathematics, or a physical science. Research assistantships are available through research projects in the HPC2.

There is an increased demand by industry, academia, and government for scientists and engineers with a foundation to create tools for computational analysis and design, and with a strong domain knowledge for application of these tools to complex engineering problems.

Such programs come with curricula covering a large range of subjects, so that they can produce scientists and engineers with broad backgrounds and viewpoints. These scientists and engineers can then be expected to understand the basic approaches to solving analytical problems and also using mathematical and computational tools required to arrive at solutions.

Graduate Courses

Because of the interdisciplinary nature of the Computational Engineering program, courses listed under the "Courses" tab are typical of those used to assemble a program of study. Courses not listed can be used for graduate credit with the approval of the student’s supervisory committee and the Computational Engineering Program Graduate Coordinator. The program of study must demonstrate the student has achieved a working knowledge of

a Computational Engineering application area,

high-performance computing, and

numerical mathematics
