. Page 12.1569.2To see specific details regarding the particular required courses in structural engineering atdifferent institutions for architectural and civil engineering, we can study the surveys conductedby Estrada (2006) for architectural engineering and Russell and Stouffer (2005) for civilengineering. Most of the 17 architectural engineering programs in the nation require a structuralengineering component to meet ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology)accreditation curricular requirements. The survey conducted by Russell and Stouffer (2005)included results from 40% of the civil engineering programs (90 programs) in the nation, overhalf of which required at least one course in structural steel design.Those of us who are
