Georgia Institute of Technology School of Computational Science & Engineering


The School of Computational Science & Engineering is an academic unit located within the College of Computing at the Georgia Institute of Technology. It conducts both research and teaching activities related to computational science and engineering at the undergraduate and graduate levels. These activities focus on "making fundamental advances in the creation and application of new computational methods and techniques in order to enable breakthroughs in scientific discovery and engineering practice."

History

The School of Computational Science & Engineering was founded in 2005, the former Computational Science and Engineering Division was elevated to "School" status in March 2010. Richard Fujimoto was appointed as the school's first chair. The School of Computational Science & Engineering represents a continuation of the College of Computing’s efforts to define and delineate the field of computing into focused bodies of study. In July 2014, David A. Bader, replaced Fujimoto as school chair.

Degrees offered

The School of Computational Science & Engineering offers bachelor's degrees, master's degrees, and doctoral degrees in several fields. These degrees are technically granted by the School's parent organization, the Georgia Tech College of Computing, and often awarded in conjunction with other academic units within Georgia Tech.
