Structural Engineering CPU

Introduction

Students use the Applied Technologies LoadStar to test their structures.Careers in engineering are very abundant today, and the demand for well trained professionals is expected to grow in the future. The Structural Engineering CPU reinforces its content with rigorous hands-on design, construction, and testing. Students become familiar with the most stable geometric shapes and how to employ them in structural applications. The Structural Engineering CPU is available in both 10 and 15-hour formats.
