Earthquake
Simulator
Deep
in the basement of the Physics Building is a lab with a
lot of vibration and a professor who never seems to get
rattled. Students can experience the design challenges
in keeping buildings safe, testing materials, and how research
often jumps applications (such as the super
goop). There are great opportunities to prepare for
the experience and follow up with the online simulator program.
