Is anyone else here engaged in STEM education and educational simulations?
My specific focus is flight science (airplane and rocket simulations, simulations of renewable energy systems like pumped hydro storage). Would love to share experience, tools and strategies. My commercial coding experience is from 30 years ago. Just getting back into the coding world with Gemini and Claude Code. Thanks, Nick in Madison, WI We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
Newbie looking for mentorship, inspiration
Good evening, I've just joined the community on the recommendation of a fellow makerspace member. I'm involved in 2 activities right now. 1) Writing design and simulation tools for streamlined bicycles Examples can be found at this site: Recumbents.com 2) Writing science education simulations for k-12 STEM education at local schools and an aviation museum (flight science).
Developing a Plan-Based Project Execution Model
Sometimes the simplest steps lead to exemplary execution. That was certainly the case when Huffman Engineering became part of a 10-year $113.4 million capital improvements initiative at the water treatment facility in a Midwest city. Constructed in the early 1950s, this facility was the single treatment facility performing all water treatment for the city, servicing approximately 35,000 residents.
De-mystifying the warehouse execution system market

Upgrading ventilation equipment systems in automotive tunnels
Learning Objectives The ventilation buildings for a pair of tunnels in Colorado needed a massive upgrade to their control systems, which hadn’t received any major upgrades since the 1970s. Variable frequency drives (VFDs), human-machine interface (HMIs) and motor control centers (MCCs) were among the equipment that needed to be upgraded. After the new equipment was installed, the legacy equipment was pulled out of service.
The on-going evolution of the industrial automation space | Plant Engineering
Held November 14 to 17, Aveva World San Francisco 2022 presented its attendees with a coherent, continuing narrative concerning the last 50 years of industrial automation software. For most of those years, software applications used for design, operations and enterprise management persisted as entities unto themselves.
