Introduction to Structural Engineering Design

 LO 1: Design simple steel elements to withstand tension,


compression, bending and shear.
 LO 2: Design bolted and welded steel connections. 
 LO 3: Design timber beams and columns and appropriate
connection details for a variety of construction applications.
 LO 4: Apply and explain fundamental design principles to
inform the construction of timber and steel structural
elements compliant with relevant industry standards; and
 LO 5: Formulate and solve specific problems, and work
both autonomously and as a member of a team.
