1 Graduate Study in Computational Engineering Science
As one of the leading technical universities in Europe, RWTH Aachen University was awarded
funding for all three lines within the Excellence Initiative of the German Federal and state
governments to promote top-level research at German universities. Graduate School AICES was
established to strengthen training and research in the various fields of computational engineering
sciences (CES).
Computational engineering science has its roots in modeling and simulation of technical systems
and phenomena occurring in nature. Today, there is a trend towards an increasing intricacy of the
systems being analyzed (complexity), a growing range of interacting scales which must be
considered at once (multi-scale), and larger numbers of interacting physical phenomena that are
inseparable (multi-physics). Furthermore, there is an increased demand for best-design
identification of engineered systems with reduced input from human intuition (optimization).
Therefore, in addition to pursue research in the classical CES research fields, AICES sets out to
advance computational engineering science in three critical areas of synthesis:

• model identification and discovery supported by model-based experimentation (MEXA)

• understanding scale interaction and scale integration, and
• optimal design and operation of engineered systems, including both the products and
manufacturing processes.

These diverse objectives have a common trait in that they are examples of broadly-defined inverse
problems.

Doctoral fellows work on research projects in many areas, including (but not limited to) the
following topics:

• automatic differentiation
• biomedical engineering
• computational fluid dynamics
• computational mechanics
• energy systems
• geoscience
• global optimization
• high-performance computing
• inverse problems
• materials science
• model identification
• multi-scale modeling & simulations
• numerical linear algebra
• numerical methods for PDEs,
• optimal control, design & operation
• process systems engineering

4
One of the core elements of the doctoral training program is the mentoring team which is
composed of

• a principal doctoral advisor (typically an independent junior research group leader),

• a co-advisor (typically a senior faculty member), who should belong to a different,
department or faculty than the junior researcher’s,
• a senior doctoral student mentor,
• a member of the AICES Service Team.

Bachelor Degree Holders:

The program is tailored to lead directly to a doctoral degree in a "fast-track" curriculum. For
students in this program supported by AICES stipends, the Master’s degree in Simulation Science
or CES will be granted after two to three semesters of course work (depending on the BS degree)
and a Master's thesis which may also serve as doctoral thesis proposal.

3 Admission
The AICES doctoral program (http://www.aices.rwth-aachen.de/admission/academics) is open to a
limited number of highly-qualified students with a substantial background in their proposed field of
study.
Bachelor‘s degree holders applying to the course-based program should file their application by
December for admission to Summer Semester, and by April for admission to Winter semester.
Applications from Master’s or Diplom degree holders applying for the research stage of the
program are accepted throughout the year.
All selected applicants with Bachelor’s degree will receive a tuition benefit and a stipend of 500
Euro per month during the coursework phase, and a stipend of 2,000 Euro per month during the
three-year research phase.
All selected applicants holding a Master’s or Diplom degree will receive a stipend of 2,000 Euro per
month during the three-year research phase.
The stipend is tax-free.

Mandatory application material:

• Completely filled out application form

• Transcripts of all universities previously attended
• Statement of purpose
• Proof of English language proficiency, e.g. TOEFL test
• Three letters of recommendation, to be filled in the forms which can be downloaded from
the web page (including written statement.)

Candidates holding degrees from European institutions or being admitted at Master’s or Diplom
level do not need to submit GRE results. Candidates with Bachelor’s degrees from other
countries (including the USA) will have to submit GRE results.
Since AICES research represents a great variety of methods and applications, several different
subject tests are accepted depending on applicant's interests: physics, mathematics, computer
science, biochemistry, and cell and molecular biology. The subject test is not offered in some
countries. In this case, this part of the GRE requirement may be waived.
The documents will be reviewed by the International Office to determine whether they are
acceptable for admission to RWTH Aachen University.
Applications are reviewed on a continuous basis. Promising candidates may be asked to
complete application documents and participate in phone interviews conducted by faculty
members and one or two AICES research group leaders. Additional on-site interviews may also be
required. The decision on admission is typically made within two months of receiving an
application.
The candidate should decide on a research project proposed by research group leaders. In special
cases it will be possible to decide on the topic during the first month.

7
3.1 Degree Requirements
The degree requirements are a recent Bachelor‘s, Master’s or German Diplom degree in
engineering (including CES), computer science, geoscience, mathematics or physics
The Master's degree from a University of Applied Sciences (Fachhochschule) is somewhat
between the Bachelor’s and Master’s or Diplom degree. Doctoral degree regulations in Aachen
require that such candidates take 20 semester-hours per week, or one semester, of Master-level
courses, and spend additional 20 semester-hours per week on a project thesis before qualifying for
doctoral-level research.
Students with a Diplom degree from a University of Applied Sciences may also be admitted to
AICES, but the Doctoral degree regulations stipulate that such candidates take 40 semester-hours
per week, or two semesters worth of Master-level courses, and spend additional 20-semester
hours per week on a project thesis before qualifying for doctoral-level research.
AICES doctoral research stage must be taken in its entirety, i.e., full three years.

3.2 Proof of English Language Proficiency

GRE and TOEFL scores are just two of the decisive factors of the admission procedure. No strict
range of grades is specified.
Candidates with degrees from English-speaking institutions do not need to submit TOEFL results.
Alternative documentation of English language ability, such as the German higher education
entrance certificate (“Gymnasium” school leaving certificate and records) may be presented.
GRE or TOEFL administration should submit the scores using the RWTH Aachen University
institutional code: 8504.
Candidates will have the opportunity to take German as Second Language classes during the
AICES years at RWTH Aachen University or the continuing education center (Volkshochschule
Aachen).
For initial consideration, unofficial copies of GRE, TOEFL scores, and unofficial translations may
be accepted. For final admission, official (original) documents will be required.

3.3 Research Proposals

Possible doctoral research topics are listed at:
http://www.aices.rwth-aachen.de/research/research-proposals

3.4 Offer
If the junior research group leaders decide to admit the applicant, he or she will receive an offer from
the Scientific Director of AICES on behalf of the Steering Committee. The offer for admission and
the stipend are valid for a limited time only. The primary advisor and the co-advisor are determined
prior to the candidate taking up studies.

8
4 Academics

4.1 Coursework Phase Program (for Bachelor’s Degree Holders):

4.1.1 Coursework Phase Leading to the MS SiSc or MS CES Degree
Students who have completed a seven- or eight-semester Bachelor’s degree program may join the
combined Master’s/doctoral program by taking two to three semesters of Master-level courses,
spending one semester on writing and defending a Master’s thesis which serves as doctoral thesis
proposal, and performing approximately five semesters of further thesis research. Graduates from
six-semester Bachelor’s programs must take an additional semester of Master-level courses
(three total).
Another possibility to be admitted to AICES is at Master’s or Diplom level, for candidates who have
completed a Master’s program at an accredited institution with comparably high standards, and
who have fulfilled other admission criteria (See Ch. 3). The Bachelor’s candidates who enter in the
coursework-phase will attend the courses of the Computational Engineering Science (CES) or
Simulation Sciences (SiSc) Master programs.
The SiSc Master’s program consists of mandatory and elective courses, and a written Master’s
thesis. The entire program is conducted in English. In the mandatory courses, the students will
acquire a knowledge foundation which equips them with the ability to rapidly deal with problems in
the field of simulation sciences. The students’ personal choice of elective courses reflects the focus
of their individual program–either application- or method-oriented, interdisciplinary or subject-
specific.
The following lectures, exercises and laboratory courses are mandatory: Numerical Methods for
Partial Differential Equations, From Quantum to Continuum Physics I + II, Data Analysis and
Visualization, Simulation Software Engineering, Simulation Methods, Fast Iterative Solvers,
Parallel Computing in Simulation Sciences, Model-Based Estimation Methods, and Simulation
Sciences Laboratory.
Elective courses can be chosen from a catalog comprising the following fields: Energy/ Process/
Control/Biomedical/Production/Communications Engineering, and Fluid and Structural Dynamics.

9
Advisor, co-advisor and doctoral candidate agree on courses to be taken by the doctoral fellow
during the first year, with a high course load in the first year and a lower one during the second
year.
The coursework phase is devoted to courses and preparation in personal studies guided by the
advisor. During the final semester, the Master’s student takes courses and prepares his or her
Master’s thesis. This is a dissertation written in English, which gives the students the opportunity to
demonstrate their ability to work independently and scientifically on a problem within the field of
simulation sciences. The topic of the Master’s thesis will lead to a written research proposal for the
doctoral program. This research proposal will be due at the end of the coursework-phase along
with an oral presentation on the same topic. Based on the written proposal and the oral
presentation, advisor and co-advisor will each evaluate the student’s progress in a written review.
The oral presentation at the end of the coursework phase and the doctoral defense presentation at
the end of the third research phase year are integral part of the AICES training seminar series to
further foster collaboration between AICES members. This seminar series is mandatory for the
mentoring team and other AICES students; it is different from the AICES research seminars, which
are typically given by guest speakers.

4.2 Doctoral Program (for Master’s Degree Holders):
4.2.1 First Year of Doctoral Program
Master’s and Diplom graduates follow a three-year schedule, which concludes with a doctoral
thesis and defense. MS SiSc students who successfully attended the coursework phase, are also
admitted to this research phase of the doctoral program.
Advisor, co-advisor and doctoral fellow agree on a schedule for regular meetings during the first
year. The point is not to impose the same schedule on all mentoring teams and doctoral
candidates. On the contrary, the schedule and the frequency of meetings are agreed on by the
mentoring team. Nevertheless, mentoring team and the doctoral fellow are encouraged to agree on
a schedule ahead of time in order to establish regular time intervals for progress reports already at
an early stage of the program.
Any courses to be taken are agreed on by the principal advisor, co-advisor and the doctoral
candidate on a case-by-case basis. There is no mandatory course component in the research
phase. The principal advisor, co-advisor, and the doctoral candidate agree on a schedule for
meetings during the second year which is convenient for the particular research project. At the end
of each year, the doctoral candidate must summarize his or her progress in a short document
called annual progress report (10 —20 pages). Accompanied by an oral presentation consisting of a
30 —45 minute presentation and 15 minutes questioning by the audit. The fellows will receive
feedback for this first-year student presentation from a two-persons team recruited from research
group leaders on a rotating basis.
The doctoral candidate is strongly encouraged to write, or significantly contribute to, a conference
publication. In such case, the publication may be a substitute for the progress report if accepted by
both advisors. Further, an updated version of the research proposal must submitted, which reflects
the experiences and results of the previous year. Advisors may request amendments.

18
4.2.2 Second Year of Doctoral Program
The procedure is the same as in the first year. Based on the progress report, which is due at the
end of the second year, principal advisor, co-advisor, and the doctoral student agree on the
research to be carried out in order to accomplish the project. These agreements, preferably made
with particular respect to the intended thesis, are documented in a short mandatory report. The
doctoral fellow is strongly encouraged to write, or significantly contribute to, one conference article
and one journal article during this year. In such case, these may substitute for the progress report if
accepted by the advisors.

4.2.3 Third Year of Doctoral Program

During the first half of the year, the doctoral candidate will work on the tasks and topics agreed on
at the end of year two. The second half is reserved for producing the thesis. The thesis is expected
to be the basis of one or two journal articles to be submitted by the end of the third year.

4.2.4 End of Third Year of Doctoral Program

The doctoral candidate will defend his order thesis according to the doctoral degree regulations
(Promotionsordnung) of the appropriate faculty. The principal advisor and co-advisor are members
of the doctoral thesis commission.
During the entire doctoral program, the AICES or Center for Doctoral Studies (CDS) staff member
belonging to the student’s supervisory team is responsible for monitoring the student’s and the
advisors’ compliance with the above schedule. In particular the publication schedule of all students
is tracked by the service team. AICES staff members report to the steering committee, and steering
committee members are encouraged to take results into account for selection of doctoral projects.

19
5 Financial Support
Students who are admitted to the AICES program will attend the entire program without paying
tuition. In fact, in the coursework phase students will receive a 500 Euro per month as stipend,
which rises to 2,000 Euro per month in the research phase. The stipends are usually not subject
to taxes.

6 Health Insurance
Students/doctoral candidates are responsible for taking out their own health insurance. Health and
disability insurance companies in Germany usually charge 12—15% of the gross income for a
standard policy. A good option is the DAAD insurance program (http://www.daad.de/deutschland/
service/versicherungen/04703.en.html) only available to foreign students, which charges between
80 and 250 Euro per month.

7 Student ID Card
The Master’s students and doctoral candidates will receive a student ID card at the Registrar’s
Office (Studierendensekretariat) of RWTH Aachen University. The ID card also includes a semester
pass (Semesterticket) for the Aachen Region, which allows free public transport in the state of
North Rhine-Westphalia. For further information, please see the website of the Student Association
(AStA):

http://www.asta.rwth-aachen.de/article/1679/de/

At the same time, each student will receive a TIM account (Tivoli Identity Manager), to access all
services offered by the university (e.g. access to the computer facilities of the Centre for
Computing and Communication (RZ), e-mail account, web services, Windows PC pool, etc.).

The student ID card offers a variety of benefits concerning public facilities, e.g. discounts at
museums, sport clubs etc.

8 Registration
Every AICES student/doctoral candidate must register with the Registration Office of the City of
Aachen and bring along a valid passport and the rental agreement for his or her apartment.
There are two offices in Aachen:

• Verwaltungsgebäude Bahnhofplatz (administration building of the City of Aachen)

For more information, please go to:

http://www.rwth-aachen.de/cds

AICES students registered with the CDS are encouraged to attend the language courses.

17 AICES Soft-Skill Seminars

AICES offers several soft-skill seminars each year such as Scientific Writing, Getting Started with
the Doctorate, Time Management in Doctoral Research.

18 AICES Website Style Guide

The AICES Website is based on a Content Management System (CMS of Plone).
Each student/doctoral candidate will receive a login and the right to publish his or her own page
according to the template of the student‘s page.
It is required that students observe the restrictions for the website to maintain the layout and
quality, generally using HTML for content.
Please look at similar items that were already added when creating new content. This will help us
have consistent style between web-pages. “Copy-paste-edit” if possible.
All URLs are lower case, with each folder identified by a reasonable short word, and each
document by one or possibly more words, connected by dashes "-" (not underscores). One
exception is the Members folder (due to peculiarities of Plone). Dates in the page name or file
name, use the convention "...-YYYY-MM-DD" (for events occurring more than once a year) and "...-
YYYY" (for events occurring only once a year). The date is added at the end of the name.
Avoid using non-standard fonts. Display titles with the <h2> </h2> or <h3> </h3> directives. For
emphasis, use the <em> </em> directives. For bold typeface, use the <b> </b> directives.
Highlight commands, URLs, or terminal text with the <code> </code> directives.
For links to external web pages, use target="_blank" command in the <a> tag. This will ensure
that the external web pages open in a new window.
Avoid transparent background in images, Internet Explorer, which many people use, does not deal
well with transparency in all but most recent versions. Use GIF format for images with lots of solid
uniform color. GIF compression works well in that case, without any loss of quality, whereas JPG
format shows visible compression artifacts. Use JPG format for images with large range of colors
and smooth color transitions, like photographs. JPG compression is much higher than GIF in that
case, and losses due to compression are not noticeable. PNG format is a good GIF replacement,
but some browsers are not yet up to speed in handling PNG images (for instance recent IE
versions). Try to create images with the same size as specified in the <img ...> directive (scale

23
the files before uploading them). Do not try to expand or scale down images through the
<img ...> directive.
Although there is no need to name default documents of a folder in a special way, they should be
called index_html for consistency purposes.

19 AICES Presentation
In order to maintain the AICES corporate identity, every member of AICES should use the
templates for slides which are posted on the website.
http://www.aices.rwth-aachen.de/internal/template-slides/

20 AICES Publication and Preprint Server

In order to present the AICES scientific output (publications), it is important to upload the papers
and technical reports to the AICES preprint server. There is no requirement for a preprint as
published/accepted paper. Every student should upload papers that have been submitted or
published in journals, conferences or workshops.
Please send your manuscripts by email to preprints@aices.rwth-aachen.de (Annette de Haes).
Please include the TITLE and the AUTHOR LIST in the reference line.
