Informallearning experiences such as summer camps, personal skills, family members, and role models.Formal learning experiences such as regular school classes. However, RPs’ prior knowledge ofAEC careers was limited and often based on misconceptions. Many participants conflated AEC,particularly engineering, with computer science, robotics, and coding due to previousexperiences in STEM camps and school classes. Their attributed sources of AEC knowledgeincluded summer camps, personal experiences, family members or role models, and schoolclasses.

. Computer programming wasidentified as the most difficult aspect, whereas modeling with commercial software emerged as themost favored task. Despite some difficulties with teamwork, students expressed a strongpreference for project-based learning and group work over individual study and traditional lecture-based approaches. The insights gained from this study provide a framework for structuring FEAcourses to enhance critical skills, preparing engineering students for both academic andprofessional success.IntroductionThe foundation of FEA is the finite element method (FEM) which has its roots in the mid-20thcentury and has its foundational contributions from engineers like Richard Courant and RayClough.
