Experimental and Numerical Modeling in Civil Engineering

该项目的目的是提供研究经验， 本科生，包括妇女和少数民族，从 主办方和其他机构。 它在实验室里训练它们 实验辅以数值模拟程序， 适合于土木工程的研究。 其目标是 培养选拔出来的本科生， 完成这个项目，他们能够：1）选择和作出一个 在他们感兴趣的领域制定研究问题; 2） 确定实验和数值模拟的不同方法 可用于解决问题的程序; 3）选择一个 与当前问题相关的特定程序， 程序的参数和适用性; 4）实施 选定的实验和/或数值模拟方法 过程; 5）描述建模过程并给出结果 以专业的方式，即，以项目报告和/或 技术论文; 6）将项目的结果传达给他人 口头;和7）与不同的教育，社会， 和文化背景。

The aim of this project is to provide research experience to undergraduate students, including women and minorities, selected from the host and other institutions. It trains them in laboratory experimentation supplemented by numerical modeling procedures, appropriate to the research in civil engineering. Its objectives are to train the selected undergraduate students, so that upon the completion of this project they are able to: 1) select and make a formulation of the research problem in their field of interest; 2) identify the different methods of experimental and numerical modeling procedures available for the solution of the problem; 3) choose a particular procedure relevant to the current problem based on inherent parameters and applicability of procedure; 4) implement the methodology of selected experimental and/or numerical modeling procedure; 5) describe the modeling procedure and present the results in a professional manner, i.e., in the form of a project report and/or a technical paper; 6) communicate the results of the project to others orally; and 7) interact with people of diverse educational, social, and cultural background.
