Mechanical Engineer and Computational Mechanic, WHAT?

It is really hard to believe that week two went that quickly so much got done and so much more has to be done before my time here is over. So far my time here has involved me building and testing the material that are apart of our Solar MD system and another chunk of my time involves learning to process data on COMSOL. The best part of last week involved me finishing the the base of each project. For the Solar MD project, we were able to build the frame work for the skid on which the system will be laid on. For my computational model I was able to create to create functioning base that computes reasonable data. This next week will involve me finishing the building of each model, for our solar MD model we will attach the actual system (panels, tanks, flow-meter, etc.) to our framework. For my computational model I need to do a bit more programming to export data from the models that I have created. So far the program has been very rewarding, the technical work that I have been doing has gone from me handling a screwdriver and wrench to learning a new software as well as putting my programming skills to the test.
