CAM
The CAM graduate program, interdisciplinary by design, requires students
to develop competencies in three concentration areas: applicable
mathematics, numerical analysis and scientific computation, and
mathematical modeling geared toward applications in a science or
engineering discipline. Within these broad areas, students may take
courses and conduct research in numerical analysis and scientific
computing, applicable mathematics, computational mechanics and
physics, parallel computing and computer architecture, mathematical
modeling, and in supporting engineering and science areas involving
mathematical modeling of physical phenomena and engineering systems.
Research for CAM theses and dissertations must demonstrate an
interdisciplinary theme and draw on knowledge from the CAM
disciplines. Each student must develop a program ol study that lncludes a
substantla component from the three concentration areas.
-
Master of Science
The M.S. requires completion of 33 semester hours of coursework
including a research report, or 36 hours of coursework without a report.
At least 24 hours must be taken for a letter grade from the three
concentration areas, with at least six hours from each area.
-
Doctor of Philosophy
In addition to developing a program of study, to become a
Ph.D. candidate students must pass a qualifying exam in each
concentration area. Students must prepare a written dissertation
proposal; an oral presentation of the proposal and an oral examination
on the underlying subject matter are also required.
