Finite Element Analysis Introduction Course Description |
| This is an introductory course that provides students with a basic understanding of the theory behind finite element analysis, along with hands-on laboratory sessions to provide insight into finite element idealization and solution techniques. |
| Each 2.5 hour course consists of a lecture and laboratory session, with one student per computer. The course will be offered on six consecutive Tuesday evenings from 6:00 PM - 8:30 PM, beginning May 13, 2008. Those who attend will receive Steven Lepi's book, "Practical Guide to Finite Elements” and also earn ASME credits. The cost of the course is $1,295. |
| Who Should take this course? |
|
* Practicing engineers, physicists, and other professionals interested in
Finite Element Analysis * Newly graduated engineers and college level engineering professionals who were not exposed to Finite Element Analysis in their college or university curriculum * Engineering managers who desire a basic understanding of Finite Element Analysis theory and application |
