What is Computational Engineering?

The University of Texas at Austin has introduced a Bachelor of Science in Computational Engineering degree—the first of its kind in the nation—which focuses on modeling and simulation to develop solutions for society. The program, offered by the Department of Aerospace Engineering and Engineering Mechanics in the Cockrell School of Engineering, includes an interdisciplinary curriculum focused on giving students the opportunity to work on complex 21st-century engineering problems within a wide range of real-world applications. Graduates of this new program will be well prepared for the engineering jobs of the future. Whether they choose to pursue employment in industry, government or consulting, they will have the tools they need to succeed.

What's with the dramatic background music lol

[toposopher]

I'd love to work for a spaceship would use computational models to predict the flight path and so on!
I hope I get to get in UT!

Even, TJR Hughes is professor at UT Austin.

It is mathematical computing is how we communicate, control systems and specifically to ai, graphic .

What is master course related with ANSYS CFX and FLUENT called? I want to do masters and meanwhile gain experience to enter company after graduation. What type of masters should i pursue???

[ravenecho]

hidden markov chain, simulations, etc super cool -> i want to learn how to create the algorithms tho. i know a bit of numerical linear algebra and have an understanding of the text of "introduction to datastructures and algorithms", i want more.

maybe need to learn a little more math, but understand Elements of Statistical Learning, solved most of the proofs. i want something heavier.

Is it better to have a computer science or computer engineering background for this major?

[Garentei]

This is what computer engineering really is. I think computational engineering in one of the most misunderstood engineering majors. Everyone who is not a CE seems to think we make websites, repair computers, etc ..

[yashxktr]

Now I will enroll in swayam nptel computational science in engineering course

[utkarshgupta]

looks like a good course but we all know after completing bachelor from this particular major you are either going to work as a researcher or in some IT firm

you wonder why things break and say hey this is why? those 200 people on the plane were just in the wrong place and the wrong time? they shouldn't have been there? put a
TV up and show the forecast for the next five days at the door before boarding?
