Mechanical and Civil Engineering Summer Camp Students Visit CIVS

The mechanical and civil engineering (MCE) department hosted two one-week summer camps.  On June 10 and June 17, approximately 40 middle and high school students visited CIVS to learn the state-of-the-art technologies in simulation and visualization and applications. CIVS Senior Research Scientist John “Jack” Moreland and Senior Research Engineer Kyle Toth presented an overview of CIVS and impacts on the engineering industry and community. They also gave hands-on demonstrations of simulation and visualization applications as well as hands-on VR experiences. Students had the opportunity to ask questions and make connections between their current curriculum and the cutting-edge applications at CIVS.

MCE summer camp students also participated in interactive lab and classroom activities at PNW in both mechanical and civil engineering. These subject areas are degree programs offered at Purdue University Northwest. The summer camp was led by Associate Professor of Civil Engineering, Wubeshet Woldemariam.
