AB  - Within civil and architectural engineering programs that offer structural specialization, students are regularly exposed to steel and reinforced concrete courses that focus on the fundamentals of analyzing structural behavior, as well as, designing members. Varying topics are covered in these courses across both undergraduate and graduate offerings. One topic that is not regularly covered is the pre-stressed concrete domain. Programs that do offer pre-stressed concrete frequently offer it at the graduate level where the emphasis frequently revolves around more theoretical behavior. Often missing, a critical emphasis area of pre-stressed concrete, is practical post-tensioned (PT) concrete design and construction practices. In a search of Civil (CE) and Architectural Engineering (AE) programs, only a handful offer PT, which considering how many buildings and infrastructure projects use PT systems, is surprising. One factor impacting the offering of PT courses appears to be that most instructors are faculty with expertise in the research side as opposed to the application side. Additionally, packed curricula does not support making PT a requirement. As such, there remains a disconnect to practiced-based application in those already established courses. This anomaly is something that needs attention in education circles as PT design is a mixture of engineering and art combined to develop solutions that meets the needs of the project.
