To improve education and training through the integration of computational simulation
and 3D visualization; to apply simulation, visualization, and high-performance computing
to solve real-world problems.
Located in Northwest Indiana at Purdue-Calumet with an immersive 3D theater and
other state-of-the art facilities, CIVS has partners to:
• Develop interactive virtual learning/training modules and curriculum by
combining simulation and visualization based on real phenomena; and create 3D,
immersive, and interactive video and software for education, planning, marketing,
and presentation
• Access a diverse local student population (including URMs and economically
disadvantaged students)
• Offer short-courses, workshops, summer camps, and summer internships
• Conduct data visualization of computational simulations such as CFD, FEA,
GIS, trac simulation, logistics, and others in various disciplines
• Provide solutions to industrial problems on the issues of energy, environment,
productivity, quality, and training
