A very insightful course on intuitively understanding the fundamental aspects of engineering of structures.

This course explores the impact of different forces on the construction of bug buildings. It provides an overall understanding of how buildings respond to different forces that impact their designs. The first module introduces you to the concept of the overall response of structures. The second module explores different types of loads and their impact on the design of large structures. It also gives a detailed explanation of how buildings fall due to earthquakes. In addition, the module offers an explanation on the impact of mass and stiffness on building response. The third module explores how to build a cardboard chair. You'll also learn how to work with SketchUp Make.

Very straightforward and inspired me to focus more on structural.
MK
It was fascinating for me as an engineer. The structures are the building blocks and fundamental elements for many engineering aspects.
ST
I have learned a lot of basic response of the building during wind and earthquake conditions
SA
exception course, because i learned a lot of new things which i can apply through my civil engineering journey in real life.
MA
Really dived in to the fundamentals of response of structure. Well delivered.

It was an incredible journey of discovery and learning. Throughout the course, I was exposed to a wealth of knowledge on structural engineering, from the fundamentals of structural analysis to the intricacies of design and optimization. The course also delved into computational methods, providing an essential perspective on the role of technology in modern engineering. What I found most impressive about the course was the caliber of the professors and the quality of the course materials. The instructors were engaging & knowledgeable, making it easy to grasp complex concepts, and the online format was flexible enough to fit around my busy schedule.
Through the various problem sets and projects, I was able to apply what I learned and gain a practical understanding of structural engineering.
Overall, I would highly recommend this course to anyone looking to expand their knowledge of structural engineering. Thank you, Dartmouth University, for offering such a comprehensive and rewarding learning experience!
The structure of the course is arranged perfectly, in a way that helps someone with very little engineering background to follow the concept and apply the principle immediately. The starting point from a very simple concept of tension forces with its application is easy to follow, and then later other concepts such as compression, shear and bending, are being introduced combined with the previous ones.
I recently completed the course, and overall, I was very satisfied with the content and learning experience. However, I noticed an issue with the final grading. Despite scoring 100% on the final grading test, my final course score does not reflect this accurately and seems unfair.
El curso ha sido magnífico. La profesora genial. La plataforma es una puerta impresionante a la educación superior en todo el mundo. Muchas gracias a todos los implicados en tan excelente docencia.

Круто, но сделайте так что бы сертификат аолучить по раньше, а не после подписки

Great for all types of Engineers.
Excelente!!
Me gustó la manera en la que se pretende involucrar el contexto real a las explicaciones teóricas sobre estructuras
