internship in an Italian company during the first two years.

Students from southern Europe with a background in civil engineering are particularly welcome.

 

The selection procedure is scheduled to be in the period: end of October 2021 - November 2021.

Course on V&VUQ of Computational Modeling of Materials and Structures

Submitted by Siddiq Qidwai on

Dear Members of the Mechanics and Materials Communities,

You may have known about the efforts of the Mechanics of Materials and Structures (MoMS) program of the National Science Foundation on revitalizing the practice of verification and validation (V&V) of computational models as a rigorous and indispensable step in the scientific investigative process.
