The SimCenter: National Center for Computational Engineering is a research and education center that specializes in high-fidelity, physics-based computational modeling and simulation, using high-performance scientific supercomputing to solve real-world problems that arise in engineering analysis and design applications from any engineering discipline. Its multidisciplinary research team combines specialized science and engineering with computational mathematics, scientific computing and other technical disciplines.
The National SimCenter employs the new model it has pioneered for integrated research and education in a university setting. This model emphasizes multidisciplinary team research for complex real-world engineering problems, integrated with a computational engineering curriculum that gives students significant interaction with multiple research and teaching faculty and staff. The goal is to produce a new breed of engineer that can help the United States remain competitive in the global marketplace.
M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in computational engineering are offered through the UTC Graduate School of Computational Engineering. The National SimCenter also participates in the UTC Center of Excellence for Applied Computational Science and Engineering, which sponsors faculty and students engaged in advanced research projects.
