WT!Engineering_Center_of_Excellence

# Engineering Center of Excellence Minnesota State University, Mankato — **engineering education and pathways**. One of the eight Minnesota State Centers of Excellence, run through both spines: [[PORTAL_Acoustics]] and [[PORTAL_WT!Thury_Hydrodynamics_Compendium]], indexed by [[PORTAL_Centers_of_Excellence]]. ## Acoustics Structures ring: modal analysis and resonance are how engineers hear a design before it fails. ### Microsims — three.js first  <p class="wt-pending"><strong>Microsim staged, not yet on the CDN.</strong> <code>S_wave.html</code> is built and deploy-ready in <code>Microsims for Dissemination/</code>, but the Netlify project still serves the geometry+spintronics set only. The player is disabled until the deploy lands; the explanatory text below is unchanged.</p>   **`S_wave` (three.js).** A shear wave crossing a 3-D lattice — the displacement field every structural mode is built from. ### Microsims — p5.js <iframe src="https://editor.p5js.org/sciencenibber/full/90jeLsBsW" width="100%" height="480" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" sandbox="allow-scripts allow-same-origin"></iframe> **Acoustic wave (p5.js).** Radial pressure wavefronts from a point source; scrub frequency and medium (air/water/steel), watch λ contract to keep c = f·λ, and hear the tone. (Audio room gallery, 21 shipped.) ## Hydrodynamics Fluids constrain every design: lift, drag, head loss, and the dimensionless numbers that scale a prototype to a plant. ### Microsims — three.js first  <p class="wt-pending"><strong>Microsim staged, not yet on the CDN.</strong> <code>Hydrodynamics.html</code> is built and deploy-ready in <code>Microsims for Dissemination/</code>, but the Netlify project still serves the geometry+spintronics set only. The player is disabled until the deploy lands; the explanatory text below is unchanged.</p>   **`Hydrodynamics` (three.js).** The steerable 3-D flow field: pressure and velocity coupled, the design space itself. ### Microsims — p5.js <iframe src="https://editor.p5js.org/sciencenibber/full/LrZ3_kDcz" width="100%" height="480" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" sandbox="allow-scripts allow-same-origin"></iframe> **dimensionless-numbers-in-fluid-mechanics (p5.js).** One of the 15 published hydrodynamics sims — this Center's assigned fluid station. <iframe src="https://editor.p5js.org/sciencenibber/full/suggb6pQy" width="100%" height="480" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" sandbox="allow-scripts allow-same-origin"></iframe> **boundary-layer (p5.js).** One of the 15 published hydrodynamics sims — this Center's assigned fluid station. ## Article links [[Systems_engineering]] · [[Control_theory]] · [[Wave_equation]] · [[Fluid_dynamics]] · [[Reynolds_number]] · [[Reliability_engineering]] · [[Engineering]] · [[Structural_engineering]] · [[Mechanical_engineering]]  *Both craft standards apply here — [[WT!Three_js_Microsim_Master_Class|three.js]] and [[WT!P5_js_Microsim_Master_Class|p5.js]].*  ## Wikipedia : Wikitube **Strict pair:** (WT! local — no Wikipedia twin) : [Wikitube](https://en.wikitube.io/wiki/WT!Engineering_Center_of_Excellence) ## Previous hub tags `Centers_of_Excellence` · `ENGINES` — carried from the legacy CoE portal structure; spine crossings: [[PORTAL_Acoustics]] · [[PORTAL_WT!Thury_Hydrodynamics_Compendium]].
