Classroom simulations, especially those involving simple physicalcomponents, help to engage students and communicate abstract concepts. The proposedsimulation platform requires modest one-time capital investment, supports real-time datacollection, analysis, and visualization, and can be tailored to suit a variety of educationalobjectives and audiences ranging from pre-college to professional education.

Educational materialssuch as student handouts, power point presentation and hands on exercises were developed alongwith providing students with access to required software tools for designing and 3D printing. Itwas found that the students were comfortable and more inclined towards the skills they wereintroduced to by the end of their session. A student-centered survey was disseminated at theconcluding phase of this project to gather feedback on their experience.

The Department has recently instituted a five-course (one of which is an FEA course),four-year design sequence in its curriculum with the hope of graduating better engineers. Theother design courses are a CAD course and a manufacturing/machining course prior to the FEAcourse, and a machine component course as well as a capstone senior design course after theFEA one. Another benefit to the current PBL assignment, besides emphasizing to students theintegration of design into engineering practice and education, was to give students an opportunityto use the 3D CAD software that
