	Welcome to MIT's Master of Science Program in Computation for Design and Optimization The MIT CDO program was established in response to the emerging need to prepare tomorrow's engineers in advanced computational methods and applications. This interdisciplinary program provides a strong foundation in computational approaches to the design and operation of complex engineered and scientific systems. Read more on our Program Information page. In fall 2007, we welcomed 22 new students into the program, with 10 continuing students. As of February 2008, 33 students have completed the CDO program. About the CDO Program The CDO program educates students in the formulation, analysis, implementation, and application of computational approaches to designing and operating engineered systems, emphasizing: Breadth through introductory courses in numerical analysis and simulation, optimization, and applied probability Depth in optimization methods and numerical methods for partial differential equations Multidisciplinary aspects of computation Hands-on experience through projects, assignments, and a master's thesis For more information about the program, please visit the About page. To learn about applying to the program, please visit the Admission page.	News & Events We've moved! New address as of January 28, 2008: MIT Building 35, Room 329. View location on MIT map.
