A structural engineer specializes in evaluating and planning structures such as buildings, bridges, sports venues, theaters, hospitals, mining machinery, cranes, shelters, industrial plants, water treatment systems, aqueducts, churches, hotels, and virtually any construction that must withstand static, dynamic, and environmental forces. Their primary responsibility is to guarantee that loads are securely transferred to the foundations. Opportunities for employment, research, and practical use in structural engineering are vast. At Gonzaga, design courses address the most frequently utilized building materials, including concrete, steel, masonry, and timber.
