Contribution of Course to Meeting the Professional Component

• Students use latest codes for designing structural systems within appropriate constraints.
• Students recognize the role of professional societies in developing codes and standards.

Relationship of Course to Program Outcomes
 

1. Students apply algebra, elementary calculus, and principles of mechanics in the analysis and design of structural components.
2. Students design structural systems and recognize the interaction with non-structural components
3. Students recognize their role within an engineering team and the interaction with various architectural and engineering teams.
4. Students are encouraged to consider alternative systems and parameters to achieve the subject goals.
5. Students recognize the ethical and professional responsibility in achieving safe and economical design, and the impact of their design on the well-being of the society.
6. Students develop the background to communicate effectively. It is so necessary because the course stresses fundamental principles behind code provisions.
7. Students recognize the need for technical updating on a continuing basis because the course stresses the changing nature of technology, materials, codes and specifications.
8. Students recognize the importance of reading and understanding technical contents in English in order to achieve life–long learning and be able to carry out their responsibilities.
9. Students recognize the important role of computers in facilitating analysis and design of structural members / systems
