This document outlines the detailed course content for a finite element methods course. The course covers finite element discretization and the direct stiffness method over 6 hours. It also covers finite element modeling concepts like meshing, loads, and boundary conditions. Additionally, it includes 12 hours on the mathematical formulation of finite elements, covering topics like variational formulations for different element types and isoparametric representations. Finally, 12 hours are dedicated to the computer implementation of finite elements and how to code different 1D element types.
