Computational & Data-Enabled Engineering (CDEE) Track

Computational methods have made a huge impact on the solution of science and engineering problems governed by the laws of mechanics. This track prepares the student for the field of computational and data science in mechanical engineering. Students will develop competency in the areas of applied mathematics, computational methods, and data science. Students are expected to augment their computational competency through domain specific technical electives in mechanical engineering.
