GRADUATE PROGRAMS

The term Computational Science and Engineering (CSE) refers to those activities in science and engineering that exploit computing as their main tool. Advances in computational techniques have enabled the solution of many science and engineering problems that were once regarded as intractable. In addition, advances in computer architecture have upgraded the role of computation from a supporting tool for theoretical and experimental investigations to a main tool for advancing these disciplines. The purpose of the graduate program in CSE in the College of Engineering at the University of Illinois is to foster interdisciplinary research among researchers in various fields of science and engineering that use computing as the main means of research. All CSE students must be proficient in several areas of computational science and engineering, namely, numerical computing, parallel programming, and computational aspects of some application areas. The CSE program offers a set of coordinated core and advanced courses to enable the students to achieve this proficiency. In addition, the thesis of a CSE student must be in a CSE-related topic. There are different academic programs in different departments. The CSE academic program (including course, examination, and thesis requirements) in each department are determined by the departments. Details of the CSE program requirements can be obtained from the graduate programs offices in the respective departments or from the CSE program office at 469 Computer and Systems Research Laboratory.

ADMISSION

The CSE program does not independently admit students or confer graduate degrees. Students in the CSE program are officially enrolled in one of the participating departments and receive a graduate degree (M.S. or Ph.D.) in the respective departments with the CSE option. All degree applicants must complete the degree requirements of the department in which they are enrolled in addition to those of the CSE program.
