Full Description
This exam focuses on the fundamental principles governing the design of load-bearing structures, particularly in the context of stability and safety requirements.
Understanding these principles is critical for engineers to ensure that structures can withstand specified loads while maintaining structural integrity over time, which directly impacts public safety and infrastructure reliability.
The exam will assess the student's ability to verbally articulate key design theories, safety considerations, and analytical methods used in structural engineering.
Students may also be asked to discuss contemporary issues in structural design to illustrate their grasp of theoretical concepts within current engineering practice.
