The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV) received a $199,820 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to equip undergraduate students with computational engineering skills. The project will secure a high-performance computing cluster to allow students to conduct virtual experiments and simulations in areas such as fluid dynamics, structural analysis, cybersecurity, and blockchain technology. An estimated 200 students and 5 faculty will utilize the project-funded equipment each year. In addition, the equipment will be used in senior design, undergraduate research courses, and a one-week summer camp for 30 high school students and 5 teachers, extending beyond the two-year project duration. The goal is to enrich the learning and experiences of undergraduate students in mechanical engineering, information, and engineering systems at UTRGV.
