The Master of Science in Computational Science and
Engineering (MS CSE) prepares students for careers in industry,
government, and academia. Students will be well prepared for a position
in industry in areas such as engineering software systems, web
technologies (e.g. search or analysis of social networks), software for
consumer product and drug design, and financial engineering, to mention
a few.
Program graduates will be ideal for positions in government
(e.g. national laboratories) and with government contractors in
software and systems for modeling and simulation, systems integration,
data mining and visualization, high performance computing, and
computational modeling.
In academia, graduates will be well prepared for staff positions involving research concerned with the development and application of computational models in engineering, the sciences, and computing.
The interdisciplinary MS CSE degree program is jointly offered by the Colleges of Computing, Engineering and Sciences. Participating units from these colleges include the Computational Science and Engineering division; Department of Biomedical Engineering; and Schools of Aerospace Engineering, Civil and Environmental Engineering, Industrial and Systems Engineering, Biology, Chemistry and Biochemistry, and Mathematics.
The MS CSE is offered with the option to take portions, or in some instances all, of the coursework off-campus via the Georgia Tech Office of Distance Learning and Professional Education.
The curriculum has been structured to impart students with solid CSE foundational knowledge and skills, and includes technical specialization courses that enhance a student's domain expertise. Advanced elective courses will enable students to specialize in a domain and technical expertise focusing on their particular interests. The optional thesis portion of the program requires completion of an interdisciplinary research project.
