group discussions and report writing. These types of assignments requirethe students to reanalyze what they have done and reflect “Why?” they have done these things inthe three previous stages. Finally to complete the cycle, students will take what they havelearned from the module and want to know “What?” other problems can be modeled and solvedwith FE methods. The students now have used commercial tools and developed skills to analyzemore complex problems with further practice. It is in this manner they will be able to beginproviding solutions to new problems using self conceived ideas in new areas.Fatigue FE Learning ModuleOverviewThis module was integrated into the senior level MECH 125 Machine Design II course at theUniversity of the
