The Course:

It offers the student training in the research environment so that the student gets used to questioning, seeking new solutions, verifying his/her ideas and comparing them with those of others. This is certainly a comparative advantage in the job market. In the Computational Engineering course, the computer goes from being the central objective to a means due to the study of different fields of Science and of the different kinds of Engineering through computational tools. Several areas of knowledge are integrated (software and computer systems, computational mathematics, computational modeling), which are applied to solve many sorts of problems. For further study, the course has laboratories, research groups and centers, Master’s in IT, Master’s and Doctorate in Computational Modeling, specialization courses, and teams for the programming marathon.

Professional prospects:

This training is directed to the formulation, analysis, implementation and application of mathematical models, numeric methods and computing systems. In a general way, the graduates will be able to solve complex problems involving the areas of IT and Engineering. The graduation in Computational Engineering allows the professional to be inserted a segment of the job market that is driven by the recent technological developments. It also provides a first step towards a multidisciplinary academic career which fits into a new knowledge area. This new field has become more consolidated in recent decades, gathering specializations born in different branches of Engineering and Science.
