Course Catalog Description
This course introduces students to conceptual structural design, fabrication, and testing. The course aims to provide a hands-on structural engineering design experience and to inspire creativity. Students will learn the design process as well as fundamental principles of structural analysis. Student teams will be given a design challenge with performance objectives and practical constraints that emphasize sustainable design practices. Student teams will use maker space resources (e.g. 3D printing, laser cutting, CNC router, woodshop) to fabricate their structures, which will be tested to failure in the Structural Engineering Lab in Davis Hall.
