à£à£Ö±²¥Ðã Prairie Model and Simulation Lab

The à£à£Ö±²¥Ðã Prairie Modeling and Simulation Lab (DPMSL) aims to bridge industry and academia by offering cutting-edge modeling and simulation expertise. This initiative will improve product and system design, advance engineering research and enhance educational opportunities.

Our key objectives include:

  • Supporting South à£à£Ö±²¥Ðã industries by modeling and simulating both current and future design challenges.
  • Strengthening research and educational programs throughout the state.
  • Involving undergraduate and graduate students in hands-on engineering research.
