Computational Science and Engineering Track - Prior to Fall 2019

Objectives

This track is intended to introduce computer science basics of Computational Science and Engineering (CS&E). Students not intending to pursue an advanced degree are advised to choose Option 1 for electives and to take courses in some area of pure or applied science with the objective of learning how to develop software useful for the chosen area. Students intending to pursue an advanced degree are advised to choose Option 2 for electives and also to take the following courses: Physics lab science courses, Math 35100 rather than Math 26500, Math 36200 or Math 44200 vector calculus, Math 36600 rather than Math 26600, Math 34100 or Math 44000 analysis.

All track requirements, regardless of department, must be completed with a grade of C or better.
