3D3 Scholars
The 3D-printing Dynamics Design (3D3) Challenge intends to train CEES undergraduates in fundamental concepts related to vibrations, structural dynamics, and earthquake engineering through a semester-long, hands-on competition run in parallel with Introduction to Dynamics for Architectural and Civil Engineers (CEES 3263). Participants, or 3D3 Scholars, design, build, and test a bench-scale shake table using 3D-printed components.
This material is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under Award No. CMMI-1943917. Any opinions, findings, and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this material are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Science Foundation.
