The aim of the course:
The objective of this course is to teach basic principles of design and fundamentals of steel structures. Students will utilise their knowledge from mechanics, strength of materials and structural analysis to design a structure using steel as a material.
 
Programme OutcomesCTPOTOA
Upon successful completion of the course, the students will be able to :
PO - 1 : practice structural mechanics knowledge to design steel structural elements and connections sections.1,31,6
PO - 3 : determine define and solve steel structural problems according to the design principles obeying ASD and LRFD.1,3
PO - 4 : present a subject in front of an audience.2,7
CTPO : Contribution to programme outcomes, TOA :Type of assessment (1: written exam, 2: Oral exam, 3: Homework assignment, 4: Laboratory exercise/exam, 5: Seminar / presentation, 6: Term paper), PO : Learning Outcome
