FEA software and then ask students to conduct a team-design project with an FEAsimulation. The commercial FEA software typically has a user-friendly interface. Students cansuccessfully follow the lecturing and demonstration of the main skills, and implement skills tocomplete homework. However, we found that most of the students had difficulty initiating andcarrying through such FEA simulations on a design project. To solve this issue in our FEA-related course, we created a faculty-guided team design project (a minor design project) beforethe major design project on a real product. The main objective of this faculty-guided teamdesign project is to support the development of student’s FEA simulation skills through thisproject. The faculty
