Explore how engineers design and build structures.

Instructor: Vicki May

What you'll learn

  •   How and why the world's structures (including structures in the natural and biological world) were designed and constructed the way they were
  •   To conceptually design and build prototypes of structures
  •   To describe the loads expected on a structure and the resulting flow of forces through the structure
  •   To identify and compare structural elements, forms, and systems

    • Skills you'll gain

  •   Mathematical Modeling
  •   Construction
  •   Prototyping
  •   Simulation and Simulation Software
  •   Architectural Engineering
  •   Applied Mathematics
  •   Vibrations
  •   Engineering Analysis
  •   3D Modeling
  •   Mechanics
  •   SketchUp (3D Modeling Software)
  •   Structural Engineering

    • Specialization - 5 course series

    In this Specialization, 'The Engineering of Structures Around Us', learners will be able to some engineering principles that can be applied to structural systems everywhere. The hands-on building challenges throughout this Specialization allow you to apply engineering principles to build your own structures at home or anywhere.
