Computational Engineering Science
The CES Minor combines Union's existing strengths in engineering, mathematics, and computer science to offer an innovative minor that will open new opportunities to science, engineering, and mathematics students. According to the Society of Industrial and Applied Mathematics: "Computational Science and Engineering is now widely accepted, along with theory and experiment, as a crucial third mode of scientific investigation and engineering design." Simulations have become common place throughout industry. To introduce students to the exciting field of computational modeling and simulations, the CES minor combines courses from engineering, mathematics, and computer science:
- Intro to Matlab (EGR 109),
- Intro to Computational Engineering (EGR 209),
- Programming in C (CSC 255),
- Parallel Computing (CSC 3xx),
- Linear Algebra (MAT 315),
- Computational Analysis of Structures (EGR 325), and
- Numerical Analysis (MAT 360).
