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
