Computational Engineering Design (CED) covers the use of computers in all activities from the design to the manufacture of a product. It is at the forefront of information technology and of crucial importance to economies around the world. It is a vital part of many global industries including automotive, aerospace, oil, defense, finance and health.
This specialist option of the MSc Computational and Software Techniques in Engineering has been developed to reflect the wide application of CED and to deliver qualified engineers of the highest standard into industries operating in the fields of computational and software engineering.
Suitable for candidates from a broad range of engineering and applied mathematical backgrounds, including aeronautic, automotive, mechanical and electrical engineering, in addition to those with a mathematical and computational sciences training, who wish to both develop and complement their existing skill set in these important areas.
The specialist taught modules are designed to provide students with the knowledge, programming techniques and practical skills necessary to develop and use core CED solution software over a wide range of industrial settings.
Cranfield University is a leader in applied mathematics and computing applications. The CED option benefits from the knowledge and experience gained by the staff through their strong industrial links, particularly well-established research collaborations with the petrochemical, automotive, aeronautical and financial sectors.
