The Computational Science
and Engineering (CS&E) Ph.D. program at Michigan
Technological University is a non-departmental,
multidisciplinary Ph.D. program created to foster
computationally intensive research and graduate education in
the sciences and engineering. This program brings together
faculty and students from across campus who have a common
interest in and need for computational resources beyond
those usually available in desktop workstations. CS&E
program participants currently share the largest
concentration of computational resources available at MTU.
They make use of these facilities to advance their research
programs, to provide multidisciplinary training in
computationally intensive methods, and to offer instruction
to CS&E students and to students in other graduate and
undergraduate degree programs.
The CS&E Ph.D.
program has a mission distinct from those of typical degree
programs in computer science and computer engineering. The
CS&E program distinguishes itself from these other
fields by investigating how to apply current software and
hardware technologies to emerging problems in engineering
and the sciences. The CS&E Ph.D. program is a
nondepartmental program. This unique status means that any
graduate degree-granted department at MTU may grant a
CS&E Ph.D. The nondepartmental status of the CS&E
program allows faculty from any department to sponsor a
CS&E student. When a CS&E degree is awarded, the
sponsoring department is acknowledged for that
accomplishment just as it is for awarding degrees of its
own. The CS&E Ph.D. program provides a unique
opportunity to foster multidisciplinary research and
instruction at MTU. The structure of the CS&E program
ensures that it can stay at the leading edge of current
technologies and that it will be in a position to quickly
incorporate and apply them to emerging scientific and
engineering problems.
