Engineering applications are becoming more and more complex. Consequently, the theory required to analyse corresponding systems is becoming increasingly complicated. Experimental investigations are often too complex, too risky, or too costly. Computational Engineering (CE), including computer based modeling, analysis, simulation, and optimization, is a cost effective and efficient alternative to investigate engineering applications and to engineer new technical solutions.

It enables the creation of scalable digital models to support research, development, design, construction, evaluation, production, and operation of engineering applications. It allows optimal strategies to be found, which address key issues in future technical developments for the economy and society, in the areas such as energy, health, safety, and mobility.

 
 
Computational Engineering at Technische Universität Darmstadt
In the year 2000 a broad CE initiative was initiated at Technische Universität Darmstadt. The BSc/MSc Computational Engineering Study programs, the Computational Engineering Research Center and the Graduate School Graduate School of Computational Engineering form an excellent scientific environment, which is completed by a variety of Research Training Groups, Research Groups and Collaborative Research Centers.
