To become a Structural Engineer, Structural Engineering Courses in India are the most suitable platforms for any aspiring candidate. Structural Engineering is a field of Engineering which deals with the analysis and design of structures that support or resist loads. Structural Engineering is actually a branch of Civil Engineering. Principles of Structural Engineering are based upon physical laws and empirical knowledge of the structural performance of different landscapes and materials. Structural Engineering design utilises a relatively small number of basic structural elements to build up structural systems that can be very complex. Structural Engineers utilise funds in a creative and efficient manner utilising structural elements and materials. They are involved in the designing and assisting of buildings, bridges, tunnels, towers, houses, theatres, sports stadia, hospitals, bridges, oil rigs, space satellites, office etc. They are also involved in the demolition or dismantling of a structure, either permanently or in order to repair it. Apart from that they also inspect buildings, both during and after construction and oversee the use of the concrete, steel and timber of which they are made. Entry-level structural Engineers may design the individual structural elements of a structure, for example the beams, columns, and floors of a building. More experienced Engineers would be responsible for the structural design and integrity of an entire system, such as a building. Smaller construction firms take on Engineers when they need them for specific projects. These are known as ‘Contract Engineers’.

Some of its specialized fields are -

• Bridge Engineering
• Building Engineering
• Pipeline Engineering
• Industrial Structures
• Special Mechanical Structures such as vehicles or aircraft.

Content

The study of this field includes all or few of these –

1. Applied Mathematics
2. Strength Of Materials
3. Analysis Of Stress And Strain
4. Design Concepts

Basic Requirements

A bachelor's degree of Structural Engineering in India, is the minimum requirement to become a qualified Structural Engineer. A post graduate degree is required for research or teaching posts and an additional degree in business administration is desirable for management positions. Selection to the graduate courses (BE / B Tech ) is based on merit i.e the marks secured in the final exams of 10+2 and through entrance exams.
