Focus of the symposium

This symposium is organized as part of M&AE 4700/5700 - Finite Element Analysis for Mechanical and Aerospace Design (Fall 2009) and includes the final projects of the students participating in the course. Many of the presentations include the use of FEM in engineering design using a variety of software tools. Guidelines for preparation of projects are given here. All those who submit their project for design credit should attach on the Word files of their paper a completed cover sheet available here. All abstracts, presentations and papers will become available a day or two before the symposium day.
