The principal benefit of taking this course is learning the fundamental principles underlying the computer software and the application of advanced modeling approaches. This can accelerate the development of proficiency for younger engineers, and to increase the efficiency of performing analysis for more senior engineers.

Advanced topics covered in the course (e.g., second-order effects and analysis under dynamic loads) assist in the understanding of building code requirements, such as AISC Direct Analysis in the design of steel structures, and ASCE 7 analysis for wind and seismic loads. The course also provides information on sensitivity analysis that can be used to improve the efficiency of the structural system.

This course is one of ASCE's Guided Online Courses that are highly interactive, instructor-led programs in which learners move through a 12-week learning experience with their peers. The content includes video lectures, interactive exercises, case studies, and weekly discussion topics to help master the course material. Unlimited 24/7 accessibility to weekly modules.
