CIVS is a globally recognized university research center that uses advanced simulation and visualization techniques and technologies to develop and implement innovative solutions in many areas, such as:

CIVS has worked with faculty, students, industry, and the community to develop innovative solutions for a wide variety of issues. We’ve collaborated with more than 160 external organizations, producing more than $40 million in savings. CIVS staff and students regularly engage in projects that make significant contributions:

416+ Projects

$32+ Million in Research Grants and Contracted Work

$40+ Million in Savings and Cost Avoidance

486+ Technical Papers

170+ External Collaborator Organizations

150+ Purdue Faculty and Staff Collaborators

To collaborate with faculty and staff in developing research and education activities in visualization and simulation by:

• Providing technical support to research staff and research assistants
• Providing facilities and seed grants
• Helping with proposal writing including developing ideas, identifying collaborators, identifying funding sources, organizing and reviewing proposals, and providing supporting letters, etc.

• Acquire more external funding and grants for the long-term sustainability of CIVS
• Maintain a nationally recognized presence
• Provide resources for education, community, and industry outreach
• Provide an experiential learning experience to students
• Continuously develop infrastructures and technologies

With funding support provided by a major AMTech grant from the U.S. Department of Commerce, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Purdue University Northwest, and the CIVS in 2014 spearheaded the launch of a novel, industry-led association of steel manufacturers and stakeholders, now firmly established as the Steel Manufacturing Simulation and Visualization Consortium, or SMSVC.
