and compression design, flexure and sheardesign, composite member design, and combined forces design.KeywordsCivil engineering education, structural designIntroductionStructural design is a required class in civil engineering education that requires engineeringstudents to learn how to design structural elements using steel, concrete and other materials.Structural design problems in textbooks are often too simplistic or too unrealistic for students tounderstand how they relate to an entire structure. Through evaluation of homework assignmentsand test problems, the authors found that around half the class was having difficulty equating theidealized problems shown in textbooks with real-life members in structures.Several papers have been written

The strengths and limitations of using suchtechnology distance education are also discussed.1. IntroductionThe American Council on Education estimates that 85% of traditional colleges anduniversities offer distance-accessible courses. 1 Some disciplines more than other are wellsuited to leverage distance learning. Opportunities for distance learning are especiallytimely in the information technology (IT) arena.
