The following project report are provided by Dr. Shen-Yeh Chen, form his classes "Engineering Applications of the Finite Element Method" , "Advanced Finite Element Analysis", and "Numerical Computation for Engineers (with Numerical Design Optimization)" in the National Chiao Tung University, Taiwan. These are the final project reports submitted by the students.

Ususally more than 70% of the students have never used FEA packages before, and more than 90% of them have never taken relative courses in Finite Element Analysis. The students usually spend 2 to 4 weeks (partial time) on the project.
