The following
outline is an overview of each lecture:
The computer laboratory is in
the Northwest Center for Engineering, Science and Technology (1930 SW Fourth
Avenue, Portland, Oregon). All software for the class will be provided to
students in the computer laboratory. We will be using computers in our computer
lab since we have developed software to easily evaluate run results. Students
will be able to download all model files used in the workshop for evaluation
later. You will not need to bring your own laptop. Case studies we will
consider are shown below.
