Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Doctor of Philosophy in Aeronautics and Astronautics - Aerospace Computational Engineering, Duration

The graduate program in the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics at M.I.T. provides educational opportunities in a wide variety of aerospace-related topics through academic subjects and research. The purpose of this document is to provide incoming masters and doctoral level students guidance in planning the subjects they will take during their graduate program.

The suggestions outlined here are to be understood as guidance and not as a mandatory, rigid framework. The final decision as to which subjects are taken and in what sequence is to be decided between each student and their academic advisor and/or doctoral committee.

In addition to these recommendations, the official S.M. and doctoral degree completion requirements must be taken into account during the design of a graduate program. Intensive computation for simulation and optimization has become an essential activity in the design and operation of complex systems in engineering.

While computational science is a discipline in itself, it serves to advance all of science and engineering. The fundam... Read more

Intensive computation for simulation and optimization has become an essential activity in the design and operation of complex systems in engineering.

While computational science is a discipline in itself, it serves to advance all of science and engineering. The fundamental role and challenges faced by computational science in today's society is well captured in two reports commissioned by the National Academy of Sciences and the Executive Office of the President of the United States.
