Today's problems, unlike traditional science and engineering, involve complex systems with many distinct physical processes. The wide open research topic of this century, both in industry and at universities, is how to effectively couple processes across different length and energy scales. Progress will rely on a multi-disciplinary approach and therefore a need for a multi-disciplinary educational program.

The CS program aims at giving you the right multi-disciplinary background and computational thinking for understanding today's simulation technology and its challenges.
