(b) A recognition of various boundary conditions and their relevance and similarity in solving plane problems in elastic theory (mechanics of materials), low Reynold’s number flow problems in fluid dynamics, steady state thermal transport problems and vibration problems. This study utilizes a small set of boundary conditions and mathematical models that they would have to source from for simple problems in solid mechanics (static and dynamic-vibrations) and fluid thermal transport (one-dimensional steady state lubrication approximation and one-dimensional steady state thermal transport). Along the way, students are also exposed to
