Steel building design, Concrete building design, Seismic engineering, Finite Element Analysis, Timber and Masonry design, Bridge engineering and Durability of structures……. Any of these sound familiar?
No! right? my guess is, you’re not a Structural Engineer. These are some of my course modules for MSc in Structural Engineering. It sounds difficult and cumbersome, and believe me it is.
Choosing to study MSc in structural engineering in the University of Salford, I knew I had an uphill task ahead. But half way through, I now believe I made the right choice. This is because the University offers a range of undergraduate and taught post-graduate courses with a strong practical content which is in demand from modern employers and their staffs maintain links with the civil engineering industry and Institutions to ensure Salford graduates are well placed to enjoy a productive career.
Course module presentation in my classes also provides a simplified approach for students to better understand what is being taught. So far, classes have been interesting and enjoyable, rather than boring (as i expected) and my once seemingly uphill task now feels easier.
And now i count down the days to when i can finally call myself a 'Structural Engineer'. 76 days, 22 hours, 50 minutes and 10 seconds (plus dissertation) to go! Yayyyyyyy!!!
Great post thanks
