It has become more important thanever to insure that the analyst, in his/her search for the best modeling method, correctlyuses the tools available.What Type of Education is Required to Carry Out a Proper Element Analysis?When FEM first appeared in the 1960's it was introduced into the engineering curriculumat the graduate level. As the method and computer technology matured, FEM wasintroduced at the undergraduate level in engineering and engineering technologyprograms, even in some two-year technology programs.

Engineering and Technology (ABET) standards [4]. These standards aredesigned to provide students with the proper foundation to perform and succeed in industry aftergraduation. Therefore, professors must prioritize these standards and requirements in shapingtheir courses, while also developing interactive and compelling coursework that engagesstudents.Frequently, qualitative surveys and interviews are used to understand students' perspectives onengineering courses [1]. Surveys and interviews can provide windows into the studentexperience navigating course content and can offer insight into potential improvements that maybenefit students. However, many times the student voice itself is underrepresented in literature asthe data collected is analyzed and
of these teams. Educational institutions, unlike business, continues to educate students within particular functionalareas. While education serves many purposes, including stimulating students to acquire and utilize knowledgeto think critically, from a more practical viewpoint, education should assist students in developing skillsapplicable to their future careers. To prepare graduates for work in an interdisciplinary environment, cross-functional courses should be developed at the undergraduate level to expose students to the types ofinterdisciplinary problem-solving and team activities they will encounter in industry.

teacher’s manual on creative problem solving published by the Society for Teachingand Learning in Higher Education4.The Course GoalsIn his plenary speech at the 2004 conference of the American Society for EngineeringEducation, Dr. Woody Flowers from MIT put forth the notion that, in the very nearfuture, the kind of mathematical analysis, calculation and number crunching that has beenthe domain of the traditionally trained engineer will be accomplished to a considerabledegree by farming the work out to large, international computer facilities and data entrypersonnel that will likely not even reside in North America. Such is the global impact ofthe exponential advancement of computer technology, communication and the internet.The question then arises
students to improve their communicative skill as well as theirperformance on the writing assignments in the course. In the mechanical engineering curriculum atthis university, technical writing is not a required course; the students receive all their technicalwriting instruction in three laboratory courses.The faculty for the course and the staff of the Professional Communications Center in the Collegeof Engineering and Information Technology have worked together to strengthen the students’communications abilities. In addition to fundamental skills such as the basics of lab reports, thetarget outcomes from the communication emphasis in this course include the following that relateto writing. We aim to increase the students’ ability to:• organize
