Course description
Professional Certificate of Competency in Structural Design for Non Structural Engineers
Anything constructed needs to be designed first. Structural Engineering deals with the analysis and design aspects required to ensure a safe, functional and economical end product. During the design process the designer may constantly interact with specialists such as architects and operational managers. Once the design is finalized, the implementation involves people to handle aspects such as statutory approvals, planning, quality assurance and material procurement. The entire exercise can be undertaken in a highly-coordinated way if everyone involves understands the terminology or ‘project language’. To understand this language fully, it is necessary to appreciate the principles of structural analysis and design.
Participants in this course will gain a basic knowledge of structural engineering that includes the principles of analysis of structures and their application, the behaviour of materials under loading, the selection of construction materials, and the design fundamentals for Reinforced Cement Concrete (RCC) and steel structures. The emphasis will be on the determination of the nature and quantum of stress developed under loads, and the way structures offer resistance to it. Being the most widely used construction materials, RCC and steel will be covered in detail, though masonry and timber are also introduced.

Entry Requirements
A good understanding of engineering mathematics is critical for the successful completion of this course.
If you have been away from study for some time, or are concerned that your knowledge of fundamental maths may need revision, EIT does offer a self-paced online course through EIT’s sister company IDC Technologies entitled Fundamentals of Engineering Maths, Physics and Chemistry.
The course covers the key concepts of engineering maths, physics and chemistry with useful practical exercises.The topics covered will provide you with an excellent background and working knowledge. Each subject is also an online refresher for engineers and technicians who have an existing knowledge of these topics.
Please note that completion of the stand-alone refresher course is optional for self-development. It is not a pre-requisite and does not provide an entry pathway for other courses.”
