The goal of this 10-day bootcamp is to train NHERI researchers in programming paradigms
not covered in traditional civil engineering courseware, but which are needed
to advance their capabilities with regard to simulation for natural hazards
engineering. The event is a stimulating and robust introduction into software
programming to facilitate research outcomes.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><br>
<b>Who should participate?</b> The target audience is graduate students,
postdocs, and new faculty who are interested in simulating the effects of
natural hazards on building components, structures, and communities. During the 10-day bootcamp, participants will be instructed by and interact extensively
with the SimCenter’s lead development team. A sampling of course modules to be
offered include:</p>
