These activities include industrial sites visit, research seminars and some professionaltraining such as CAD, machine shop and 3D printing. Besides research activities in the researchlab, the faculty member from the School of Education and Human Resources offered a project-based learning workshop each Thursday.

Figure 3 shows a load table from a steel joist manufacturer’s catalog that helpsengineers select a joist size and type based on the joists span and allowable load for that span.Figure 3: Load table for steel joists based on their span.To use this table, the structural engineer needs to determine the span of their joists and theirloading to ensure they select a joist with enough capacity. If the framing has already beendetermined, this information can typically be found on structural drawings, but the structuralengineer often has to work with an architect and architectural drawings to see where joists can beplaced, spaced, and what type of loads they might support.

This allows the student to efficiently use their time to brush up on theconcepts that they forgot while not spending as much time on concepts that they are comfortablewith. The study plan involves more practice problems and examples for the students to workwith on the selected topics until they become more competent with the material.
