Overview

Increasingly, engineering systems are being designed and tested virtually. The successful use of model-based simulation in modern applications requires a solid background in engineering physics, computer science, probability, data sciences, and applied mathematics. This Master of Engineering in Computational Mechanics and Scientific Computing programme provides a strong foundation in all of these areas.

Duke University offers a large number of core and elective courses in finite element methods for applications in solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, and coupled field problems.

In the Duke University's Master of Engineering programme, you take specialized technical classes and a core of business leadership and management courses, with a required internship or a project completing the degree.

WHO SHOULD CONSIDER APPLYING?

The MEng in Computational Mechanics and Scientific Computing is ideal for students who want to pursue careers in:

Biomedical device design
Automotive simulations/crashworthiness
Noise reduction in vehicles; mobile device design and vibration analysis
Infrastructure design and analysis
Additive manufacturing
Industrial product design

You should consider this degree if you have an engineering background and are interested in careers in computational modeling in engineering.

If you have a background in physics, computer science, or mathematics and are interested in enhancing your knowledge and understanding applications in engineering and practical modeling techniques, this degree may be for you.

HOW THIS PROGRAM WILL PREPARE YOU FOR A CAREER

Engineering positions in model-based simulation and design increasingly require master's-level training.
Students who complete this program will be well-prepared to use finite element methods and other modern numerical tools to model problems in additive manufacturing, engineering mechanics, and engineering consulting.
