The course is intended forfirst-year PhD students and MS students, but has also accommodated advanced undergraduatestudents. The course was developed to balance the theories of the finite element method withpractical experience with commercial software, and has been developed to include a uniquecourse-long project in which the students actually program their own finite element software tool.

Spring 2011 - 37 Students, 4.13/5.0 Teaching Evaluation

Fall 2009 - 60 Students, 3.94/5.0 Teaching Evaluation

Notes: This is a course with an added recitation that has been continuously taught in the CEEDepartment, but was completely redeveloped by myself throughout my duration of ownership.Although previously majority-focused on teaching the use of drafting software, I have redesignedthis course to include a thorough coverage of the basics of linear algebra, as was required due tothe department’s restructuring of the CEE curriculum. In addition, I introduced the use ofMatlab for scientific programming (building on the foundation laid during the freshman program)and uniquely emphasized fundamental skills needed to pick up any engineering software andindependently learn the basic functionality. In addition, I developed a lecture series andcorresponding assignments to introduce algorithms and scientific computing with or without theuse of a computer classroom. The course is typically taken by undergraduates during theirsophomore year.
