aseither an undergraduate or graduate student, and asked respondents to rate their experiences on ascale of 1 to 4, where 1 indicates a “poor experience, decreased my overall confidence ofsucceeding in structural engineering” and 4 indicates a “great experience, increased my overallconfidence of succeeding in engineering”. The most popular courses (as reported in Table 8)among the survey respondents were structural analysis and earthquake engineering. Senior(capstone/integrated) design, finite element analysis and foundation engineering were given thelowest ratings. The finding that capstone design was unpopular was somewhat surprising, but thesurvey questions did not allow us to uncover reasons behind these responses.Table 8. Respondents’ ratings
