Stanford University Announces Online MS in Computational and Mathematical Engineering; Interdisciplinary Degree Explores Newest Research Methodology.STANFORD, Calif. -- Stanford University's Institute for Computational and Mathematical Engineering (ICME ICME International Conference on Multimedia and Expo (IEEE) ICME International Congress on Mathematical Education (International Commission on Mathematical Instruction) ) is offering the degree of master of science in computational and mathematical engineering (CME CME See: Chicago Mercantile Exchange CME See Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME). ) to industry students completely at a distance beginning in autumn 2005. The Stanford Center for Professional Development will deliver courses online worldwide and via television broadcast within the San Francisco Bay Area “Bay Area” redirects here. For other uses, see Bay Area (disambiguation). The San Francisco Bay Area, colloquially known as the Bay Area or The Bay . All courses are taught by Stanford faculty and posted online within two hours of live delivery. "Originally, scientists' research methodologies were theory and experiment," explains Parviz Moin Parviz Moin is the Franklin P. and Caroline M. Johnson Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Stanford University. He received his Bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Minnesota in 1974, his Masters degree in Mathematics and his Masters and Ph. , ICME Director and the Franklin P. and Caroline M. Johnson Professor in the School of Engineering. "Computing now forms the third leg of a stool for scientific discovery, allowing the performance and behavior of physical systems to be predicted and studied. Advancements in super-computing have led to the development of sophisticated multi-scale simulation tools, increasing the need for computational engineers in almost every industry." ICME faculty members have joint appointments with other departments in the School of Engineering. "To do mathematics and mathematical applications requires the breadth and strength of a top-rated university like Stanford," Moin says. Stanford researchers currently use computer simulation tools to explore a broad range of real-world challenges, including: more efficient jet engines, surgical strategies with better outcomes, improved understanding of protein folding Noun 1. protein folding - the process whereby a protein molecule assumes its intricate three-dimensional shape; "understanding protein folding is the next step in deciphering the genetic code" folding in health and disease, and optimized Internet traffic Internet traffic is the flow of data around the Internet. It includes web traffic, which is the amount of that data that is related to the World Wide Web, along with the traffic from other major uses of the Internet, such as electronic mail and peer-to-peer networks. . The CME master's degree master's degree n. An academic degree conferred by a college or university upon those who complete at least one year of prescribed study beyond the bachelor's degree. Noun 1. curriculum reflects this interdisciplinary focus. It includes new courses specifically developed for the graduate program, as well as an expanding selection of electives that draw from all these areas of research. Admissions to the program and graduation requirements are the same for distance learners and fulltime students. Deadlines for applications to the CME MS program are March 1st for autumn admission, July 31st for winter, and October 31st for spring. Industry students may pursue degrees on a part-time basis while continuing employment. The Stanford Center for Professional Development offers graduate degrees, credit courses, certificates and professional development short courses to meet the career-long learning needs of engineers, scientists, technology professionals and managers. Twenty-three Stanford master of science degree concentrations are available online in: biomedical informatics Biomedical informatics is a term used to describe the broad discipline that encompasses such subdomains as bioinformatics, clinical informatics, public health informatics, etc, and is most commonly used in this way in the USA[1]. , computer science, computational mathematics and engineering, electrical engineering, management science and engineering, and mechanical engineering. http://scpd.stanford.edu/content?cme |
