项目介绍
目前中国学生申请赴美留学人数日益剧增，以往美国顶尖名校选择录取GPA高分学生，后来校方逐渐发现学生在学习中缺少创新和实操的能力，进而导致美国名校录取率的下降。
近些年，招生官对选择学生时更加看重的是自主创新、专业技能、思维创造才能等综合素质人才。
对于计划入读美国名校的学生，实际的科研经验无疑可以提升竞争力，从而大大增加被名校录取的概率。MIT高端科研项目，坚持为更多有梦想的学生提供机会和平台。
该科研内容涉及MIT土木工程研究组的最新科研。
在该科研中，学生们不仅可以学到建筑、材料科学、环境和工程管理与经济相关知识，而且会深入讨论该领域的最新的科研工作。
科研完成时，学生了解到该领域的相关知识和世界最前沿的研究项目及进展，而且还可以了解一手的麻省理工学院内部留学申请信息。

科研内容
Research Subject:Concrete Properties at Multiscales
Introduction:This research program is a summary of several topics of concrete research at MIT. Concrete is a very common material in construction fifield for its excellent properties. Even though we have used it for quite a long time, there are still many mysteries about it. In order to explore the essential material properties of concrete, CSHub at MIT has conducted many analyses at different scales, such as nano, micro, and macro scales. Based on multiscale methods, the properties obtained at nano and micro scales can be reflflected at macro scale. The research can help industries produce concrete with better properties and reduce the environmental effects. By introducing this topic, we will help students experience the process of scientifific research and improve their ability to discover, analyze and solve scientifific problems and make preparations for their future study in the US.
Schedule:Week 1:1: Introduction to concrete properties at multiscalesInstruction: This topic will be based on some research papers and international workshop presentations. It will introduce the application of multiscale methods to the analysis of concrete properties.Homework 1: Summarize the concrete properties at different scales and state how to upscale concrete properties from smaller scales to larger scales.2: Concrete properties at multififield scenariosInstruction: Multififield analysis method is a widely used method for civil engineering, which can be used for the concrete analysis at the macro scale. This topic will based on some research papers and internationalworkshop presentations.Homework 2: Summarize the recent research on concrete multififield analysis
Week 2:3: Background Survey
Instruction: This part is aimed to teach students how to effificiently use search engines to discover papers related with their own research. The search engines to be introduced include google scholar, web of science,ScienceDirect, CNKI, etc.
Homework 3: Search scientifific
Week 3:5: Introduction to MatlabIntroduction: Matlab is a very powerful software for scientifific calculation. This part will talk about how to code programs by Matlab.Homework 5: Code a small program to solve a given practical problem.6: Introduction to FEM (Finite element method)Introduction: FEM is very useful in the engineering fifield, which can help us solve complicated mathematical and mechanical problems in a numerical way. This part will talk about the basic principles about thismethod.Homework 6: Solve a mechanical problem by using FEM.
Week 4:7: Build a numerical model and explore the corresponding algorithmInstruction: For this part, we will try to build a numerical model to solve the problem proposed in Class 4. Besides, we will try to fifigure out the algorithm for the numerical model based on Matlab and FEM.Homework 7: Draw the algorithm workflflow of the numerical model.8: Realize the algorithm and obtain the solutionInstruction: The algorithm will be realized. Based on a case study, we will analyze the calculation results and give a reasonable explanation or solution to the proposed scientifific problem.Homework 8: Write a summary about what you have learned for these 8 sessions.
