What is Structural Engineering?

Responsible for the stability, safety, and functionality of a structure, from the overall framing to a detailed connection.
Passionate about the impact that spaces can have on the way people behave, learn, and interact.
Accountable for understanding the behaviour of a structure — how forces flow through it and what its potential failure modes are.
Concerned with the conception, design, analysis, and construction of structural components subject to static and dynamic forces.
Aware that every challenge has multiple solutions and eager to explore the possibilities.
