Each week, we will explore one great structure - how it was engineered and constructed, and its impact on structural engineering and society in general. Students will learn about these structures through reading, calculations, hand drawings, and discussions. In addition to gaining an appreciation for the built environment and civil infrastructure, students will learn about the civil engineering major and gain academic success skills to propel them through the engineering major.
