BSCE Structural
About
Structural engineers design safe and efficient structures. Structural engineering is a field of Civil Engineering practiced by both private consulting companies and large civil engineering organizations.
The program in structural engineering:
- combines elements of the general Civil Engineering degree with a curriculum focused on structural engineering.
- is well-aligned with professional practices.
- includes aspects of structural design, structural analysis, and experimental investigation of structural performance.
For detailed course information, please see the Course Catalogue. For a course schedule, please see the Schedule of Classes.
The program includes the following technical areas:
- Basic civil engineering principles
- Structural engineering and structural mechanics
- Geology and geotechnical engineering
- Water resources engineering
- Construction engineering
- Computer aided design
- Design of steel structures
- Computer methods in engineering
- Reinforced concrete design
- Timber and masonry design
- Advanced structural analysis and structural dynamics
