Structural Engineering is typically considered a specialized branch of Civil Engineering, though both disciplines share many similarities. This degree program is ideal for aspiring professionals in the field, as it builds upon our well-established Civil Engineering curriculum while incorporating several specialized focus areas.
This Honors degree follows a structure comparable to the standard MEng Civil Engineering program. The primary distinction lies in the mandatory Advanced Structural Analysis coursework during the fourth year.
The curriculum expands on the fundamental stiffness analysis methods covered in prerequisite courses. It thoroughly explores core principles of stiffness analysis, including automated stiffness matrix assembly for rigid-jointed plane frames and spatial structures. Students will examine frame elastic instability, plastic design methods for continuous steel beams and portal frames, yield line theory for flat plates and slabs, and an introduction to shell structures. The program concludes with an overview of finite element analysis methods, featuring significant hands-on computer applications.
