    Frequently Asked Questions about Structural Engineering

    Structural engineering is part of the field of civil engineering, and it's a specialty that deals with designing, drawing, and planning the structure of a building. This type of engineers design structures as simple as schoolhouses and as elaborate as the International Space Station. As a structural engineer, you'd combine mathematics and physics to calculate a building's load and determine whether a design can be structurally sound. You would also make the proper calculations and preparations to ensure that a structure can withstand natural and manmade disasters before contractors construct the building itself.‎

    Structural engineering is a necessary and worthwhile pursuit because buildings need to have proper design if they're going to last a long time and keep people safe. If you're interested in civil engineering, you'll want to learn structural engineering because the safety and durability of a building depend directly on how well the engineer designs the structure. Your work has a bearing on successful construction and efficient use of materials. You'll also experience a sense of achievement when something you've designed becomes a completed reality.‎

    You can put your structural engineering knowledge to work easily as a civil engineer or contractor. There are plenty of structural engineering jobs available working for construction companies or engineering firms. You have the option of working with one company with the same crews and coworkers, or you might decide to work as a consultant with different clients and new experiences on every job site. You may even want to look for jobs with municipal agencies that develop infrastructure for public use.‎

    Taking online courses on Coursera can give you the opportunity to learn the foundations of structural engineering as well as more specific topics, like 3D modeling, engineering mechanics, and the new frontier of green building. A course in advanced engineering can help you understand the dynamics of 3D motion, and a fundamentals course can help you learn about stress, strain, and axial loading.‎

    Online Structural Engineering courses offer a convenient and flexible way to enhance your knowledge or learn new Structural Engineering skills. Choose from a wide range of Structural Engineering courses offered by top universities and industry leaders tailored to various skill levels.‎

    When looking to enhance your workforce's skills in Structural Engineering, it's crucial to select a course that aligns with their current abilities and learning objectives. Our Skills Dashboard is an invaluable tool for identifying skill gaps and choosing the most appropriate course for effective upskilling. For a comprehensive understanding of how our courses can benefit your employees, explore the enterprise solutions we offer. Discover more about our tailored programs at Coursera for Business here.‎
