LEARNING AND TEACHING METHODS
The subject will be delivered through a combination of lectures and tutorials. In addition, this subject features simulated structural design exercises which involve participation by senior experienced practicing engineers. These exercises consist of both conceptual and detailed designs and are aimed at training students to apply materials learnt from the lectures in solving design problems in practice.
INDICATIVE KEY LEARNING RESOURCES
Students will have access to lecture slides, recommended reading materials including selected journal publications and EXCEL spreadsheets showing examples of numerical simulations, and structural analysis commercial package SPACEGASS.
CAREERS / INDUSTRY LINKS
The design projects involve active participation by international engineering consulting firm URS and representatives. - Related Handbook entries
