Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering (Computational Fluid and Solid Mechanics) (MS) at University of Southern California

The program prepares students for professional careers in engineering companies that develop products using computational tools of fluid and solid mechanics. It also provides the background for the Engineer and PhD degrees in Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering with specializations in computational fluid mechanics, computational solid mechanics and computational heat transfer.

Faculty: Viterbi School of Engineering  |  Department: Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering  |  Duration: 27 units minimum  |  Study mode: full-time  |  Location: Los Angeles, CA, United States

What you will study

Coursework covers solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, engineering mathematics and numerical methods. Students take one engineering analysis course (AME 525, AME 526 or AME 540) plus five core courses in numerical methods, fluid dynamics, solid mechanics, computational fluid dynamics and finite element analysis, with advanced computational technical electives.

Career pathways

Engineering companies developing products with computational fluid and solid mechanics tools; further study toward Engineer and PhD degrees.
