Adam Dorety is currently a freshman at the University of Central Oklahoma (UCO). He is involved in UCO Robotics, and the UCO chapter of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. He has continued his research on the Underwater Remote Operated Vehicle (ROV) and hopes to compete at the national tournament in June 2013. He hopes to graduate in 2015 and join the workforce. His experience with undergraduate research has undoubtedly strengthened his commitment to mechanical engineering.

Abstract

Poster:

This poster focuses on the results of projects in a combined senior level-graduate level course (enrollment of 12) in fluid dynamics at the U__, a predominantly undergraduate institution (PUI) . A high performance computing (HPC) cluster, B___ has been deployed recently at the U__. The first author operates and administers the B__ cluster and serves as instructor of the fluid dynamics course, providing an opportunity to advance the course outcomes to include a high impact project that takes advantage of distributed computing. The goal of the projects is to expose students to HPC “at scale.” The projects require the use of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) on a HPC system; intentionally exposing students to a new way of doing things. The poster will encapsulate the quantitative and visual results of the projects and examine the impact on students of the projects.
