Student feedback collected for each course offering indicated thatstudents had a better visual and physical understanding of various steel LFRS systems byundergoing the complete cycle of design, fabrication, testing, and analysis. As a result, studentswere able to more fully comprehend consequences of their design decisions, lessons which theywill hopefully draw on in their future structural engineering career focusing on seismic design.IntroductionAn undergraduate course in structural steel design is typical in the civil (structures focus) andarchitectural engineering degree track.
