provided to the students, with all material properties and dimensions depicted. Not only were students required to provide all equations in the blank cells of this template, but they were required to do a certain amount of macro recording and assignment of macros to the control buttons shown. Iteration speed for the steady state problem and time stepping speed in the transient problem were controlled by varying the screen refresh rate using the slide bar shown. To gauge their progress, formula results students for comparison with their spreadsheet results. Additionally, two versions of the steady
