Not sure if it will help, but you might want to check out Michael Trott's Guidebooks (either the symbolics, or numerics). http://www.mathematicaguidebooks.org/ Of course, if you have the cash, there is an AceFEM package on the Wolfram site you might want to look at. As a side note, you may not want to implement a pure FE code in Mathematica as you traditionally would in a procedural language like, say, FORTRAN, or C. Solving these systems symbolically might make more sense for some systems when using Mathematica. Having said that, I myself am very new to Mathematica and have not coded any FE or FD projects, so take that into consideration. Personally, I would love to see a side-by-side solution of an FE system (even a simple 2D Heat Eqn) in a procedural language like FORTRAN and the corresponding solution in Mathematica. Hope that gives you a starting point t.
