Center for Computational Engineering
MIT's Center for Computational Engineering (CCE) was established in 2008. The broad mission of the CCE is to support computational engineering -- broadly defined as the development of methodologies that have strong demonstrated relevance to important engineering disciplines and problems. The center will have faculty and research partners from across the School of Engineering, as well as other departments and units involved in computational engineering around the Institute. The specific mission and strategic plan of the CCE are currently under development, but fully developed the center will play an active role both in both research- and education-related activities and objectives of the School of Engineering, and at MIT more broadly.
The Center for Computational Engineering expects to engage and participate in the following activities:
- Presenting a unified face of computational engineering within MIT and to external constituencies
- Coordinating among MIT faculty who work in computational engineering to initiate and organize larger group efforts to raise research funds
- Investigating various possibilities for interdisciplinary PhD degree offerings in computational engineering
- Incorporating the existing Computation for Design and Optimization (CDO) master's program into CCE
- Facilitating and coordinating courses in computational engineering
- Participating in Institute-wide discussions on computational components of undergraduate education
- Awarding PhD fellowships in Computational Engineering
- Hosting a seminar series in Computational Engineering
