%0 Journal Article %T RESULTADOS DE LA APLICACI¨®N DE LA METODOLOGIA DE AUTOAPRENDIZAJE DEL METODO DE LOS ELEMENTOS FINITOS A CASOS DE TRANSFERENCIA DE CALOR %A Farias F %A Abraham %A Salinas S %A Gonzalo %J Revista Facultad de Ingenier¨ªa - Universidad de Tarapac¨¢ %D 2006 %I Scientific Electronic Library Online %R 10.4067/S0718-13372006000100004 %X this paper illustrates the procedures used by an undergraduate engineering student of just mediocre academic standing, when developing a self-learning process using a commercial finite element method package for heat transfer problems. the results show that the student's methodology was correct and allowed her/him to reach a satisfactory understanding of the software according to the criteria used in the application domain. we conclude that this methodology allows the students to achieve the required capabilities for resolving a significant set of heat transfer problems %K procedures %K finites elements %K heat transfer %K self-learning %K software fem. %U http://www.scielo.cl/scielo.php?script=sci_abstract&pid=S0718-13372006000100004&lng=en&nrm=iso&tlng=en
