NCSI: Modeling and Simulation: Capstone Projects

Status	Completed
Mentor Name	Ana Gonzalez
Mentor's XSEDE Affiliation	Campus Champion
Mentor Has Been in XSEDE Community	3-4 years
Project Title	Modeling and Simulation: Capstone Projects
Summary	Students should have basics modeling and programming skills. The students will work on projects of different topics. The objective is to build and test a model and use the model to derive insights into the system behavior with respect to a set of proposed problems. The students will use Python and will learn OpenMP . It is expected that the students work on two projects and one of the projects should involve HPC.
Job Description	The objective is to build and test a model and use the model to derive insights into the system behavior with respect to a set of proposed problems. The students will use Python and will learn OpenMP . It is expected that the students work on two projects and one of the projects should involve HPC.
