Department of Education through the Hispanic-Serving Institution Science, Technology,Engineering, and Mathematics (HSI STEM) program, four community college engineeringstudents participated in a ten-week summer research internship program at San Francisco StateUniversity in summer 2016. This paper presents a summer intern project that preparescommunity college students for future earthquake engineering research. Real Time HybridSimulation (RTHS) provides a viable alternative to evaluate the structural response under theearthquakes in size limited laboratories. The explicitness of the unconditionally stable CRalgorithm makes RTHS of large civil engineering structures possible. However, it is impossibleto know the exact mass, damping, and stiffness of

, which is not always aneffortless task even for civil engineering students. Laboratory tests help students to effectivelyabsorb engineering courses such as statics and strength of materials. Exposing students tolaboratory tests, besteads them to better visualize the connection between theoretical conceptsand the experimental nature of real building structures and materials. Implementing structuralmodeling software is also another value that can improve students’ understanding of structuralanalysis, particularly architecture students who have better understanding of three-dimensionalvisualization. Moreover, having a basic knowledge of a structural analysis software, that iscompatible with Building Information Modeling (BIM) products, makes it
