Storm Advisory

UHart will remain closed through Tuesday, Feb. 24. There will be no in-person classes held on Monday or Tuesday. Please note that when a campus closing prevents an in-person class from meeting at its scheduled time, faculty may opt to conduct classes or provide assignments online. Students should check Blackboard and their email regularly on such days to learn of any alternate arrangements. Online and remote courses are not affected by campus closings and meet as scheduled.

Students who left campus prior to the storm may arrive back on campus after 11 a.m. on Tuesday. Parking relocation instructions will be sent via email and text to all residential students this evening.

Learning Practices and Virtual Tools from University of Hartford Showcased on COMSOL.com

May 31, 2020
Submitted By: Ivana Milanovic

Over the past few decades, the field of education has transformed significantly. We have progressed from the classic blackboard and chalk to PowerPoint presentations and video learning tools. We are now in the midst of yet another advancement of the university classroom: learning and experimentation via virtual tools. Virtual tools such as simulations and simulation apps make complex scientific phenomena accessible for students.

Dr. Ivana Milanovic, professor of mechanical engineering in the College of Engineering, Technology, and Architecture (CETA) has been using inquiry-based learning and simulations in undergraduate mechanical engineering courses. This approach was explained and illustrated with examples of student work on COMSOL.com last month.
