Computational Thermal Fluid Dynamics, P.B.C.
Program Overview
The Computational Thermal Fluid Dynamics (CTFD) program at UMBC offers four required courses in partial differential equations, heat transfer, fluid mechanics, and computational fluid dynamics. Graduates are prepared for careers in industries such as aerospace, automotive, energy, manufacturing, and power generation. Students with a B.S. in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering are eligible for immediate admission, while those with other degrees may need to complete additional coursework. in Engineering Management, M.S. in Mechanical Engineering, and Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering programs.
Program Outline
Outline:
ENME 631 - Advanced Conduction and Radiation Heat Transfer
ENME 640 - Fundamentals of Fluid Mechanics I
Teaching:
The program is taught by faculty from the Department of Mechanical Engineering at UMBC.
Careers:
Graduates of the CTFD program will be prepared for careers in various industries, including:
- Aerospace
- Automotive
- Energy
- Manufacturing
- Power generation
Other:
- Students with a B.S. in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering are eligible for immediate admission.
- Students with other bachelor's degrees may be required to make up appropriate undergraduate courses to have the background for the required graduate courses.
- Each of these certificate programs form one of the engineering tracks of the M.S. in Engineering Management program and, thus, can be used to satisfy some of the requirements of this and the M.S. in Mechanical Engineering, as well as the Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering.
