  1. The George E. Brown Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulations An Introduction MEP Camp 2011

  2. Welcome !

  3. What is NEES? • The Network of Earthquake Engineering Simulations is a network of motivated scientist and engineers who collaborate on exciting projects and meet annually to share their research results at meetings and conferences. • These scientist work in teams, and hire graduate students to help them conduct research. • These scientist work TOGETHER!!!

  4. NEES has a total of 14research sites across the US!

  5. George E. Brown • NEES is named in memory of George E. Brown Jr. , who was the chairman of the House Science committee and a champion of engineering and science in Congress for more than 30 years • Congressman Brown left behind a deep and expansive legacy that has shaped science and science policy in America

  6. … So what do these scientist DO? • Scientist at NEES simulate natural disasters such as earthquakes and tsunamis so that they can understand how to design infrastructure such as schools, bridges, highways, and houses. • They use large-scaled instruments like shake tables and tsunami basins to test structures on. • This testing procedure helps them determine how to better mitigate damage in an earthquake disaster

  7. NEES is headquartered in Discovery Park at Purdue University • The Education Outreach and Training, and Information Technology division of NEES is also housed in Discovery Park • Together we make a dynamic team!

  8. NEES Gives Back! • The Education Outreach and Training division gives back by participating in fairs, conferences, camps (like you guys), and classroom visits! • We are also a participant in the Research Experiences for Undergraduates. We host about 40 students every year that work at our sites across the nation • Check out http://nees.org/education/for-students for more info!
