Student Learning Outcomes
- By the end of the course, student should be able to: Understand the behavior of steel members under various loading conditions.
- An ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts.
- An ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives.
- Use design codes (e.g., AISC) to create safe and efficient steel designs.
- Design structural components such as beams, columns, and connections.
- Analyze load paths and assess structural stability.
- Operate on a team to prepare the design of a steel structure and present the design both orally and via a written design report, citing all reference materials.
- Demonstrate understanding of ethical responsibilities and professional responsibilities in structural design practices.
- An ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.
- An ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors.
- An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
