Do you have any recommendations for learning resources if one wanted to "relearn" FEA from a computer science perspective?

I learned it for the first time from this[0] course; part of the course covers deal.ii[1] where you program the stuff you're learning in C++.

Start with FDM. Solve Bernoulli deflection of a beam

Have a look at FEniCs to start with.
