Computational Engineering – Bridging the gap between the disciplines
Welcome to the Computational Engineering Program Website
We are pleased to welcome you to our website. Technological developments are becoming increasingly challenging and are largely based on complex mathematical principles. Engineers face the challenge of not only having a solid foundation in mathematics but also using powerful hardware, software, and advanced computer science methods.
In order to ensure that future engineers can master modern working techniques, Friedrich-Alexander-University Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) became the first university in Germany to offer a Computational Engineering program, starting in 1997. By selecting individual modules from the fields of mathematics, computer science, and Technical Application Fields, students have the opportunity to receive a well-rounded education across various disciplines. Examples of Technical Application Fields include areas such as Mechatronics, Autonomous Control, and Medical Engineering. Additional exciting options for our Technical Application Fields can be found here.
Computational Engineering has now established itself as a key discipline worldwide. It plays a crucial role in the development of new technologies and the optimization of technical processes in industry. The Computational Engineering program can be completed with either a bachelor’s or master’s degree, or as a consecutive program (combining both degrees). We always welcome new applicants to our program. For a quick overview of our studies, we have summarized the most important information about our Bachelor’s and Master’s Program for you.
Thanks to the comprehensive and well-rounded education, graduates of our program are exceptionally well-prepared for the demands of both research and industry. They are equipped to tackle complex technical challenges, develop innovative solutions, and integrate successfully into interdisciplinary teams. The combination of diverse areas of knowledge opens up a wide range of career opportunities in various high-tech sectors worldwide.
