Computational Fluid Dynamics Graduate Certificate

The College of Engineering offers a graduate certificate in computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The program is designed primarily for the part-time student interested in gaining dexterity in this subject by taking a graduate course sequence through distance education. The pertinent course work is archived at the College of Engineering Computational Fluid Dynamics Laboratory website, http://cfdlab.utk.edu, hence is available on demand according to a totally flexible schedule.

The 12-hour certificate is earned by completing ES 551 , ES 552 , and ES 581  (CFD Laboratory), which are extensively cross-listed among departments in the College of Engineering. The certificate is completed with one elective 3-hour course from an approved list. Those currently approved are CBE 529  and ECE 599  (Computer Fire Modeling). A wider selection of courses will be added when they become available.

The sole academic prerequisite for the certificate program is a bachelor’s degree in engineering or an applied science (physics, mathematics, etc). Applicants must meet the admission requirements of the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, Graduate School and become admitted thereto.
