Welcome to Structural Engineering
Program Focus
The structural engineering program offers five main research focus areas. They are: extreme-event loading and behavior of infrastructure systems (wind, vessel impact and blast); design and behavior of bridges; durability, evaluation and strengthening of existing structures; connections to concrete; and computational mechanics, structural dynamics and structural analysis. CCE structural graduates prepare for leadership positions in academia, research institutes, government agencies and industry. Potential industry postions include structural, bridge and architectural design firms.
