This course aims to equip students with the basic theory and knowledge of finite element analyses (FEA) and computer
aided engineering (CAE), and to provide students with the ability to utilize CAE methods and tools for solving structure
design problems in the product development. The course consists of three knowledge modules: basics of FEA,
applications of FEA, and FEA based structure optimization. More specifically, basics of FEA includes elasticity, and
general steps of FEA. Applications of FEA includes utilizing FEA tools for solving various typical problems within the
structural design of products. FEA based structure optimization includes the integration of engineering optimization
methods with scripting for setting up an automated analysis and design pipeline. The course is conducted with a New
Engineering Education pedagogy which equip students with both theoretical and practical knowledge through project -
based learning. The main target group of this course is Year 3 students.
