Computational engineering programs at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg

Abstract

The Computational Engineering Program at the University of Erlangen was initiated by the Department of Computer Science as a two year graduate program leading to a Master's degree in 1997. In 1999, a three year undergraduate program was added. As a peculiarity, the Masters program is taught in English and is thus open to international students who do not speak German. The curriculum consists of approximately equal parts taken from computer science, (applied) mathematics, and an engineering discipline of choice. Within the current program, this includes material sciences, mechanical engineering, fluid dynamics, and several choices from electrical engineering, such as automatic control, information technology, microelectronics, semiconductor technology, or sensor technology. © Springer-Verlag 2002.
