Georgia Tech

At Georgia Tech, aerospace engineering professor Dimitri Mavris educates students and researchers to use JMP to help create the next generation of rockets, jets, and submarines. JMP is part of the curriculum that supports the Georgia Tech Aerospace Systems Design Laboratory (ASDL).

From the start of an aerospace engineering project, students learn to use JMP analytics, visualization, and integrated advanced Design of Experiments (DOE) capabilities to analyze all the design options. They create what-if scenarios and assess the many tradeoffs necessary to create complex aerospace systems.

JMP handles the massive number of variables and huge systems studied at Georgia Tech. A special laboratory called the Collaborative Visualization Environment (CoVE) was built for complex systems design. It features a 10-foot tall by 18-foot wide multimedia wall made out of 12 screens. Students running JMP explore their data and designs interactively using graphics projected onto the multimedia wall.

"We want a complete package, and that's what JMP is. I consider it an empowering tool, a tool for the practitioner. It empowers you to do 100 times the work you could do," says Dr. Mavris. "Now, in addition to JMP's use in the lab, JMP is used by nearly every student that comes through the master's program."
