Meet USC: Admission Presentation, Campus Tour, and Engineering TalkWed, Sep 09, 2015
Viterbi School of Engineering Undergraduate Admission
Receptions & Special Events
This half day program is designed for prospective freshmen and family members. Meet USC includes an information session on the University and the Admission process, a student led walking tour of campus, and a meeting with us in the Viterbi School. During the engineering session we will discuss the curriculum, research opportunities, hands-on projects, entrepreneurial support programs, and other aspects of the engineering school. Meet USC is designed to answer all of your questions about USC, the application process, and financial aid.
Reservations are required for Meet USC. This program occurs twice, once at 8:30 a.m. and again at 12:30 p.m. Please make sure to check availability and register online for the session you wish to attend. Also, remember to list an Engineering major as your "intended major" on the webform!Location: Ronald Tutor Campus Center (TCC) - USC Admission Office

Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering Seminar Series
Wed, Sep 09, 2015 @ 03:30 PM - 04:30 PM
Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Yuri Bazilevs, Professor of Structural Engineering at the University of California at San Diego
Talk Title: Computational Fluid-Structure Interaction: Methods Developed and Advanced Simulations Performed
Series: Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering Seminar Series
Abstract: The presentation is focused on the computational framework that involves coupling of fluid and structural mechanics, where structures undergo large deformations. The formulation of fluid mechanics on the moving domain is presented, and efficient solution strategies for the underlying linear equation systems are discussed. A framework for computational fluid-structure interaction (FSI) based on the Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian formulation is presented. Basics of Isogeometric Analysis are also shown. The fluid-structure interface discretization is assumed to be nonmatching allowing for the coupling of standard finite-element and isogeometric discretizations for the fluid and structural mechanics parts of the FSI problem, respectively. FSI coupling strategies and their implementation in the high-performance parallel computing environment are also discussed, and computational challenges presented. Applications ranging from cardiovascular mechanics to full-scale offshore wind turbines are presented.
Biography: Prof. Bazilevs received his PhD from the Institute for Computational Engineering and Sciences at the University of Texas at Austin in 2006, and he is currently a Full Professor and Vice Chair in Department of Structural Engineering at University of California, San Diego. He has published nearly 100 archival journal papers on computational fluid and solid/structural mechanics, and fluid-“structure interaction. He coauthored a book on isogeometric analysis, a methodology that is now widely used in computational mechanics. He also coauthored a book on computational fluid-structure interaction. He is an Associate Editor of Elsevier journal Computers and Fluids and Assistant Editor of Springer journal Computational Mechanics for the manuscripts on computational fluid mechanics and fluid-structure interaction.

Interested in earning your MS from Viterbi?
How about starting a MS degree during your senior year? The Viterbi Graduate Admission team is hosting a Progressive Degree information session on September 9th! Learn more about this exciting opportunity!
Who should attend?
All undergraduate students thinking about pursuing a MS degree through USC.
What is the Progressive Degree Program?
The Progressive Degree Program (PDP) gives continuing USC undergraduates another path to earning a Masters degree from USC. The main advantages to a Progressive Degree are:
1) Start graduate-level classes during your senior year
2) Reduce the units required for a Masters Degree
