Architects and non-structural engineers often work together with structural engineers on design projects. An understanding of the basic concepts of structural engineering could make their jobs easier. If you are involved with the design and construction of concrete, steel, or wood structures, you will find this course particularly helpful. It is assumed that course participants have no formal training in structural engineering. Basic concepts and design examples will be reviewed without in-depth mathematical derivations. This course is not designed to make you a structural engineer, but you will leave the course with an understanding of the structural design process and know when you need to call in an expert.
Architects; non-structural engineers; technicians and technologists (civil, mechanical, electrical, mining, chemical and biological); plant engineers; fabricators and manufacturers of structural systems; general contractors; property managers; directors of physical plants; building inspectors, and others who would like to know more about structural systems.
