Teaching Finite Element Analysis in Undergraduate Technology Curriculum Ali R. Moazed, Richard Roberts, Xiaobin Le, Anthony Duva Session: Tools, techniques, and best practices of engineering education for the digital generationI. AbstractTypically, FEA courses are offered at a graduate level, covering the theoretical basis with littleor no effort to apply this technology to real problems. In some institutions, this course is offeredto seniors, but the content is also mostly theoretical. At Wentworth, we have designed an FEAcourse based on our industrial experience which could be labeled “Applied Finite ElementAnalysis”. This paper describes the methodology followed in the development of this course,along

Rather, most of the engineers emphasized more instruction on client interaction, collaboration, making oral presentations, and writing, as well as the ability to deal with ambiguity and complexity.Taken together, survey and interview data shows the value of broad skills in problem-solving,communication, computing, data analysis, and life-long learning.

The technology beingnew, students are often misled by an incomplete understanding of the subject--understandingBIM as an acronym for 3D design, rather than appreciating BIM as a process of sharing andsimulating information. Teaching BIM as a process versus a single software package is acommon issue that may be effectively addressed through a stepped progression of smallerpackets of information spread in different courses throughout the curriculum, so called ‘verticalintegration.’ Vertical integration of curriculum supports a comprehensive understanding of asubject and the means and methods that form its core.

, journals and funded projects. Engineering curricula are crowded, however, and leave little room for new courses. Beginning with the “writing across the curriculum” movement in the 1980’s, the literature reveals that many disciplines have mounted “across the curriculum” movements. These include writing, mathematics, critical thinking, citizenship, ethics and other fields. Given crowded engineering curricula, an “across the curriculum” approach is a logical means to address the need to add entrepreneurial thinking without adding additional courses. Measurement tools are a critical requirement to assess the efficacy or any curriculum intervention. This is especially true when dealing with a new and
