The conclusion of this paper is that a person using finite element analysis softwareto estimate the structural response of an object should first have an idea of the magnitudeof the expected response using basic engineering science before using more advancedcomputer simulation and, then compare the two estimates to support taking a positionwith respect to the acceptability of the predicted response. INTRODUCTION One of the challenges of introducing advanced analysis tools, such as finite elementanalysis (“FEA”), is that too many engineering students are too willing to accept theoutput of a computer program without questioning its validity or

they can earn as much or more as a machinist or mechanic as they can as anoffice worker with a liberal arts bachelor’s degree6.Some common strategies used to prepare high school students for careers include career clusters(sequences of courses related to broad fields of work such as health sciences and engineering),magnet schools, career academies, and dual credit arrangements with two-year and four-yearcolleges7. All these approaches have value, but for helping students to learn about industrialautomation, dual-credit arrangements are probably the easiest to implement. However, most dualcredit offerings are general academic subjects, such as English, math and science. Some schoolsoffer courses on particular types of technology, such as
