In addition many teams include students from disciplines other thanengineering.

A fewyears later programmable calculators became available and modules containing basic solutions toheat transfer problems were developed for these calculators. In addition, authors began toinclude sections in their textbooks, introducing students to numerical techniques for solving heattransfer problems.Prior to the introduction of personal computers (PCs) in the early 1980’s, complex computercodes were needed for numerical solution of heat transfer problems.
