This is a valuable opportunity for students to build career preparation skills,specifically, since FEA is commonly used in industry for machine element design to understandthe interplay between machine elements and how to implement them in complex systems. Thesimulation project of this study is assigned to students after the theoretical concept and practiceproblems have been covered on the deflection topic. Students will then perform model setup andanalysis of deflection simulations.

Students then practice these concepts during one 75-minute lab section each weekrun by a teaching assistant (TA), and they also complete weekly homework assignments usingMATLAB.
