Geotechnical Test Simulator

该奖项为克拉克森大学的一个为期三年的研究-课程开发项目提供资金，该项目名为“岩土试验模拟器”，由达亚卡尔·佩努马杜博士指导。这个项目是克拉克森大学和佐治亚理工学院的合作成果。该提案的目的是开发虚拟实验室实验和使用计算机模拟(除了现有有限的实验室暴露)，以补充和扩展教育过程的传统组成部分。这个实验室模拟器将在全国范围内对与岩土工程相关的课程(S)产生直接影响，这些课程通常是所有土木工程与环境工程(CEE)专业的必修课，可以很容易地在工程教育的不同相关分支(如地质学、结构工程、水利工程、环境工程等)中推广和实施。

This award provides funding for a three year project at Clarkson University for a Combined Research-Curriculum Development program entitled, "Geotechnical Test Simulator," under the direction of Dr. Dayakar Penumadu. This project is a collaborative effort between Clarkson University and Georgia Institute of Technology. The objective of the proposal is to develop virtual laboratory experiments and use computer simulations (in addition to the existing limited laboratory exposure), to complement and extend conventional components of the education process. This laboratory simulator will have an immediate nationwide impact on the course(s) related to geotechnical engineering which are usually required for all graduating Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) majors and can be easily extended and implemented in different related branches of engineering education (e.g. Geology, Structural Engineering, Hydraulics Engineering, Environmental Engineering etc.).
