Mentored Environment For Isogeometric Analysis, Kevin Tew, Michael Scott

Journal of Undergraduate Research

The mentored environment for isogeometric analysis (IGA) has trained engineering and computer science students to develop isogeometric numerical methods and accompanying software to solve challenging problems in science and engineering. The mentoring environment consisted of:

1. Weekly group meetings where research concepts were discussed, scientific literature was reviewed, and progress was monitored.
2. Pairing of students with a faculty members to develop IGA design-through-analysis methodologies.
3. Preparation of results for peer-reviewed publications.
