<p style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:12px;margin-top:10px">Since the summer of 2018, the NHERI SimCenter has organized programming<span> </span><a href="https://simcenter.designsafe-ci.org/knowledge-hub/workshops/" target="_blank">bootcamps</a>,
intensive, week-long sessions aimed at teaching programming techniques that are especially useful in natural hazards research. The goal of the bootcamps is to train NHERI researchers in programming paradigms not covered in traditional civil engineering courses,
but which are needed to advance simulation for natural hazards engineering. The bootcamps are becoming increasingly popular, and requests to participate in the summer 2020 session, held online in August, exceeded the group’s teaching capacity by a factor of
2.</p>
<p style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:12px;margin-top:10px">“This surge in demand indicated a clear interest and need in the modeling community for these fundamentals,” says Matt Schoettler, associate director at the SimCenter. “So we decided to
conduct another set of sessions this winter, giving priority registration to those waitlisted from the August 2020 event.”</p>
<p style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:12px;margin-top:10px">In post-session evaluations, summer participants praised the content offerings and reported significant improvement in their programming skills. “This feedback encouraged us to offer the
event again with an expanded capacity and help from Bootcamp Mentors,” says Schoettler. The SimCenter held two winter bootcamp sessions, on December 14-18, 2020, and January 4-8, 2021.</p>

Paper: Built Environment Exacerbating COVID-19 Pandemic</h3>
<p style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:12px;margin-top:10px">As communities across the United States struggle to manage a wave of COVID-19 infections, a multidisciplinary team of researchers argue that the pandemic has revealed the ways in which
engineered structures and services have contributed to society’s challenges. They subsequently posit that the built environment — including both engineered structures and services (ESS) — cannot be ignored when developing long-term pandemic mitigation.</p>

Journal of Critical Infrastructure Policy</a></i>, a team led by David Mendonca, a professor of industrial and systems engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, earnestly asks engineers and social scientists to re-examine the models, data collection
