Upon successful completion of this Major, students should be able to:

• Integrate into a structure the theory and principles underlying basic applied mathematics, scientific computation and computing software, and recognize the connections among the theory and principles.
• Apply mathematical and computing methods to a range of problems in scientific, engineering, commercial and other practical applications.
• Create and formulate mathematical models, evaluate quantitatively alternative approaches and improve the performance and reliability of such models.
• Use associated computing software and test then in a laboratory setting to construct models and solve resulting mathematical problems.
• Acquire work related experience and effective communication skills necessary to work within a team in an international and culturally diverse workplace.
• Recognize the need for, and engage in life-long learning.
