Simulation app built by undergraduate students Iliana Albion-Poles and Jeffrey Severino
An article, ‘Simulation apps provide graduates with a competitive advantages,’ featuring Ivana Milanovic,
Professor of Mechanical Engineering, Iliana Albion-Poles, and Jeffrey
Severino, undergraduate mechanical engineering students, has been
published in the Design World Magazine.
The article provides an overview of the use of simulation apps by
undergraduate students at the University of Hartford. The apps provide
students with easy-to-use specialized user interfaces to run realistic
simulations and visualize results without any previous training. This
inquiry-based learning method enables deeper understanding of the
physics and theory. Students can then easily progress to learn more
about the underlying model and even build their own simulation apps. An
application ‘Tones in Multi-Stream Nozzle’ by Jeffrey Severino and Iliana Albion-Poles,
was featured in the article. This work was funded by the Connecticut
Space Grant for Faculty Research and resulted in a presentation at an
undergraduate research and creativity colloquium.
