Such a question is designed to be conceptuallychallenging and typically requires no computation so that students cannot rely on equations toobtain the answer. It focuses on the most important concepts in a subject. Concept questions canbe designed towards several objectives: to elicit or reveal pre-existing

To obtainrealistic solutions for multiphysics problems in two or three spatial dimensions, one must usemore advanced approaches for solving coupled systems, which are usually based on the finiteelement method. This requires a good understanding of the basic theory behind the method, asolid knowledge of linear algebra, and a host of other supporting techniques that are related todiscretization, mesh generation, nonlinear equation solvers, numerical stability, to name a few,along with computer science skills for implementation.
