Courses
The following are courses that Dr. Hoit taught on a regular basis before moving to administration. The structural analysis courses lead to the development of the textbook he authored.
CES 6106 - Advanced Structural Analysis
This is the first course in analysis required for all structures majors. It covers in depth advanced matrix methods including shear and temperature deformations, rigid ends, P-delta, buckling, stability and and introduction to finite elements.
CES 4141 - Stress Analysis
This is the second course in analysis required for all Civil majors. It covers matrix analysis, use of structural analysis software, validation of structural models, non-typical boundary conditions and an introduction to Finite Elements.
EGN 1002 - Into to Engineering
This class is designed for incoming students to help them choose which discipline of engineering is correct for them.
Hands on Engineering Activities
These activities have been used for the Introduction to Engineering course, teacher workshops, high school activities and many other activities where the use of simple hands on activities can help people learn basic engineering principles.
