Course Description:
The Finite Element Method is a powerful engineering analysis tool, and has been widely used in engineering
since it was introduced in the 1950s. This course presents the basic theory and simple application of the Finite
Element Method (FEM) along with the common FEM terminology. The emphasis of this course is the
fundamental concepts of finite element analysis. A basic programming technique is also presented in this
course along with their features and capabilities. This course includes several homeworks and final project,
which is designed to enhance the understanding of course materials.
