What you'll learn
This course provides comprehensive training in structural engineering design and analysis using industry-standard software such as STAAD Pro / ETABS / SAP / AutoCAD / Revit Structure.
Students learn how to design safe and economical structures as per IS codes and building standards, analyze structural members, interpret loads, calculate stresses, and generate approval drawings.
The course covers steel structures, RCC buildings, foundations, slabs, beams, columns, staircases, and uses real project case studies for practical understanding.
By the end of this course, students will be able to:
- Analyze building loads & stresses
- Design structural components
- Prepare structural drawings
- Perform seismic & wind load analysis
- Generate design calculations and reports
