Computational Engineering (CE)

Computational Engineering (CE) is an innovative discipline fusing together the expertise of well-established engineering fields, computational sciences and applied mathematics. In addition to the traditional methodologies of theoretical modelling and experimental exploration, simulation has become an important tool in applications from fundamental research to product development. This innovation calls for experts who are able to model engineering problems in mathematical terms and produce software to solve them. The programme extends beyond classical engineering education and applied mathematics to prepare students fully for these challenges. Depending on their individual interests, students may select one of the following technical application fields: Automatic Control Computational Materials Science Computational Mechatronics Computational Optics Information Technology Mechanics and Dynamics Medical Engineering Thermo and Fluid Dynamics Students can obtain a second Master's degree from the Swiss cantonal Università della Svizzera italiana (USI) in Lugano, Switzerland. There are no tuition fees for the double degree programme. To receive this double degree, students must obtain a total of 120 ECTS with at least 30 ECTS from USI and 30 ECTS from FAU. Do more – get more! Within the framework of the Elite Network of Bavaria, the university offers a special CE Master's programme: the Bavarian Graduate School of Computational Engineering (BGCE). The course programme is a highly attractive option for excellent students who are willing to invest a bit more work in order to gain a deeper insight into modern research topics in computational engineering. BGCE students get the opportunity to: take part in renowned summer schools experience writing numerical software in larger teams, sometimes in cooperation with industry partners attend specially designed seminars on soft skills topics such as presentation and communication, teamwork, project management, or leadership For details, see: http://www.bgce.de
