1 Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics

School of Engineering Massachusetts Institute of Technology Graduate Program (S.M., Ph.D., Sc.D.) Field: Aerospace Computational Engineering (ACE) Date: September 4, 2007 1. Introduction and Purpose 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 do

ctoral 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 program1. 2. Motivation for studying Aerospace Computational Engineering (ACE) Intensive computation for simulation and optimization has become an essential activity in

the design and operation of complex systems in engineering. While comp

utational 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 todayÕs society is well

captured in two reports commissioned by the National Academy of

Sciences2 and the

Executive Office of the President of the United States3 The National Academy report points out that revenues from simulation and optimization

software products are already in the billions of dollars but the overall impact of these

products is already in the trillions of dollars. Despite this already considerable

development, the same report predicts that the next decade will experience an explosive

growth in the demand for accurate and reliable numerical simulation and optimization of

complex systems. The report makes an important distinction between computer science

and computational science, the former referring to the science and technology pertinent to

the computer, whereas the latter addresses the development of modeling and optimizat

ion technology and software for specific systems applications. The report also points out a
