INFORMATION ABOUT THE COURSE Course Overview The aim of this course is to extend the understanding of structural behaviour by studying new concepts in the context of design of steel and composite steel-concrete structures and to introduce the Australian and international design codes that govern structural design for steel and composite structures. This course will also provide you with opportunities to develop the following graduate attributes: the capacity for analytical and independent critical thinking; skills related to lifelong learning, such as self-reflection (ability to apply theory to practice in familiar and unfamiliar situations); and collaborative and teamwork skills.

OBJECTIVES The objectives of the course to build on your knowledge in structural steel and composite steel-concrete design to introduce you to design strategies and thinking processes for practical structural design projects to give you opportunities to develop and reflect on graduate attributes such as collaborative skills
