ofgraduate education for academic scientific research can be distinguished best by using moderndefinitions of engineering as follows: “Engineering has a mission, purpose, and method … as a creative profession; engineering is concerned with the combining of human, material, and economic resources to meet the needs of society for the advancement and betterment of human welfare. As creative professionals, engineers purposefully conceptualize, design, and lead the systematic development of new innovative technology in the form of new and improved products, processes, systems, operations, and breakthrough developments that are responsive to real-world needs. In this process, they use the integrative engineering

Since 2014, our team has consistently worked onreforming our Materials Science and Engineering curriculum at the University of IllinoisUrbana-Champaign by incorporating computational modules into all mandatory undergraduatecourses. Here, we investigate the impact and effectiveness of these computational modules inlight of our recent graduates’ feedback. We surveyed alumni who graduated between 2017 – 2021and asked them about the benefits of the computational curriculum and the significance ofcomputation for their career. “data analysis” was reported to be the most significantcomputational practice, followed by “programming” and “simulation tools”.
