Ivy Tech Students and Faculty Had Educational Visit to CIVS

Students and faculty from Ivy Tech Valparaiso Campus visited CIVS on March 13th to learn about simulation and visualization research and uses of advanced computing. The group discussed a variety of topics with CIVS researchers and had hands-on demonstrations of the crane simulator, VR fire extinguisher, and VR flood simulator. Visits like these can help students see how simulation and visualization are used in real-world scenarios. Hands-on experience can spark interest, build understanding, and inspire to explore new ideas. Their faculty advisor, Prof. Rami Maximus Salahieh, was a previous teacher involved in the National Science Foundation (NSF) Research Experience for Teachers (RET) program held at CIVS in previous summers.
