Investigations of a fundamental and/or applied nature representing an original contribution to the scholarly research literature of the field. PhD dissertations are often published in refereed journals or presented at major conferences. A written dissertation must be completed in accordance with the rules of the Graduate School and the College of Engineering. Admission to the course is based on successful completion of the PhD comprehensive examination and submission of a formal proposal endorsed by the student's graduate committee and submitted to the EAS Graduate Program Director.

A calculus-based introduction to scientific computation, modeling, simulation and visualization using a variety of mathematics programming tools, scripting languages, and other software tools widely used by mathematicians. This course is project-driven and requires a strong background in mathematics. It is intended for students planning to take upper-level courses in applied or computational mathematics.
