Grand Engineering: Restore and improve urban infrastructure
Student Preparation
Qualifications
“1. Good programming skills in MATLAB
2. Physics II level understanding of Ampere’s and Faraday’s laws (PHGN200)”
Time Commitment
40 hours/month
Skills/Techniques Gained
“1. Learn to simulate electromagnetic wave phenomena using computational electromagnetics
2. Compile and run advanced codes on supercomputers
3. Early preparation to integrate in a research team for graduate school work in computational electromagnetics”
Mentoring Plan
Student will be guided through regular meetings to learn the method and codes to be used. They will also be provided access to computing platforms. They will also be actively integrated in the research team’s weekly meetings which include other undergraduate and graduate students. Student will also be encouraged and helped to produce and present publishable results.
