Clearly, without proper team structure even initiallyenthusiastic and highly motivated team members can later come to believe that no one owns theproject and that no one cares about their success or failures. When no one is accountable toanyone then no one is responsible for anything.The likelihood of a successful team throughout the project and the team’s performance at thecompetition significantly improves if the students feel that their advisor(s) is genuinely interestedin the project.19 This interest and caring, on the part of the advisor, can successfully bedemonstrated in several ways, even when the faculty advisor allows the students to run their ownproject.

One of the fundamental concepts of andragogy is the conceptthat adult learners are more inclined towards self-directed learning than their youngercounterparts.12 Dating back to the 1930’s, education pioneers such as John Dewey recognizedthat ‘all genuine education comes about through experience’ and this is echoed by modernliterature that emphasizes the need for adult education programs to capitalize on this lifeexperience that adult students bring to the classroom (p.162).

both of these problems (i.e., numerical methods in two-dimensional heat conduction and transient heat conduction through semi-infinite mediums) have traditionally been challenging for students and an objective of the FE learning modules is to provide an alternative insight for students that will ideally make these topics easier to understand. The problems for each learning module are summarized in Figs. 1 and 2. The steady-state problem (Fig. 1) was adopted from an exercise at the end of Chapter 4 (“Two-Dimensional, Steady-State Conduction”) of Incropera et al.’s textbook6, while the transient, semi-infinite medium problem (Fig. 2) was adopted from an exercise at the end of Chapter 4 (“Transient Heat Conduction

The proportional gain controls a proportional response to theerror. The derivative term helps control the rate of change of the response. It keeps suddenchanges from happening too fast, slowing the rate of change. Once the proportional gain is Page 25.407.12turned down, the derivative gain is adjusted to
