of three classes ofontological variables: function, behavior, and structure plus a design description (Gero, 1990;Gero & Kannengiesser, 2014). The goal of designing is to transform a set of functions, driven bythe client requirements (R), into a set of design descriptions (D). The function (F) of a designedobject is defined as its intended purpose. The behavior (B) of that object is either a behaviorderived from the structure (Bs) or the design itself or an expected behavior (Be) from the design.Structure (S) represents the components of an object and their relationships. Different functionsfor the same design produce different expected behaviors that generate different structures. Anexample of two different functions invoking different

Throughthe minimum potential energy principle, we can establish the relationship among internal forcesat nodes, nodal deformation, material property and element geometry. This relationship istypically called as element properties. We used a 1D element with two nodes during lecturing toshow this process. This example is displayed for the reference in Appendix B.4) Assembling the global equationsNow that the object has been divided into many independent finite elements. It should beemphasized that the shared nodes on adjacent elements are joined together and the shared nodeson adjacent elements have the exact same deformation. So, the FEM does not analyze anoriginal object but analyzes the assembly of

Transfer students also have fewer opportunities toparticipate in high-impact learning experiences such as undergraduate research and internshipsthan first-time freshmen [2]. STEM transfer students can have challenges as they adjust tocampus life [3], [4], including course credit loss [5], which can delay graduation or lead toattrition, perception of lack of advisor support or misinformation [6], or perception of “stigma”as a transfer student [3].

Then, when we asked [the physician] to meet with us, we were all there, and he talked us through it. Then, using his expertise and our discussion, some people would go to observe whether a need was actually viable.
