Structural Engineering

Structural Engineering is a specialized field of civil engineering that deals with the design and analysis of structures that support or resist loads. Coursera's Structural Engineering catalogue imparts a deep understanding of the principles and methodologies used to design and construct robust and efficient structures. You'll learn about the mechanical behaviour of materials and structures under different conditions, principles of structural analysis, design of structural elements like beams, columns, and slabs, and understanding of structural dynamics. You'll gain problem-solving skills necessary for the design of safe and sustainable infrastructure such as bridges, buildings, tunnels, dams, and highways.
