The world's largest industry is construction, and everything that is built must first be designed. The main goal of structural engineering, which deals with analysis and design, is to guarantee a structure that is affordable, practical, and safe. The designer works closely with experts such as architects and operational managers throughout the design process. After the design is complete, people are needed to help with implementation to handle things like planning, quality control, obtaining necessary materials, and obtaining statutory approvals. If all participants comprehend the "project language," which consists of a set of designs and specifications, the entire exercise can be carried out in a highly coordinated manner.

Course Objectives:
