Program Details
In the last few decades, the field of computational methods in civil engineering has consistently grown and delivered essential tools for modern engineers. Consequently, nowadays nearly every engineering problem can be solved solely with computational methods. Advanced Computational Methods in Civil Engineering (AdCom) is one reaction to that development and is a specialisation taught in English within the Master’s degree in Civil Engineering at RWTH Aachen University. AdCom graduates are able to apply and develop numerical methods and simulations for the realisation of innovative civil engineering structures. The curriculum is interdisciplinary with courses from the faculties of Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Mathematics. The interdisciplinary nature of the curriculum gives students a deeper understanding of the key skills in structural mechanics, fluid mechanics, and numerical mathematics. Students will learn to master challenges that arise from the use of new resource-conserving materials and advanced composite materials as well as from the trend towards extremely light load-bearing structures. They will be able to assess and develop lightweight structures that are subject to dynamic loads such as wind and traffic. In order to assess the strengths and limits of numerical modelling in civil engineering, students are trained in numerical methods, the development of software codes, and in mechanical principles.
There are NO tuition fees for the program.
Eligibility/ Requirements
In addition to the subject related prerequisites, applicants must show proof of a profound level of the English language, at least equivalent to B2 level of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).The following language tests are accepted as proof of English language skills:
