This was done in the hope of avoiding any complexdesign for which building a model in the simulation software would be too challenging oroutright impossible – for example in FEHT it is possible to solve a problem which can be easilybuilt using Cartesian coordinate system or axi-symmetric geometry in cylindrical coordinatesystem. However, a mixture of two, for example, a rectangular prism envelope with cylindricalobject inside would not be easily modeled as the software package is not versatile enough likecommercial CAD or FEA packages.

In 1959, JohnDewey came out with one of the first formal articles discussing project-based learning. In it heexplained how he taught students in his laboratory through a process of inquiry, where he gavethem real-world scenarios and problems to solve. When the students felt engaged and invested ina real, legitimate project, Dewey observed that the students gained greater understanding of thematerial3. Today it is commonly accepted that project based learning environments possess fivemain components: a driving question, exploration of the driving question through authentic,situated inquiry, a community of collaboration that includes
