History

The School of Computational Science & Engineering was founded in 2005, the former Computational Science and Engineering Division was elevated to "School" status in March 2010. Richard Fujimoto was appointed as the school's first chair. The School of Computational Science & Engineering represents a continuation of the College of Computing's efforts to define and delineate the field of computing into focused bodies of study. In July 2014, David A. Bader, replaced Fujimoto as school chair.
