The Structural Engineer’s Professional Training Manual

This book will be beneficial as a tool in a variety of different situations:
(1) to show a mentor the material necessary to pass along and how to teach it;
(2) to further the education of a new graduate, or a student nearing graduation, in personal study on relevant subjects they will have to deal with during the course of their career;
(3) as a course book, where a mentor can assign a number of pages or sections to a trainee, then get together at a later time to discuss or work on practical applications of the material;
(4) as further reading during undergraduate or graduate work in classes relevant to each topic covered; or
(5) as a reference for practical knowledge of subjects certain to broaden an engineer’s problem solving capabilities.

Structural engineers usually begin training long before they’ve even dreamed of joining the profession. As kids, they were the ones who studied roller coasters, a bit more closely than their pals. They tended to have a certain creativity in everything they did, whether it was flying to Mars in a tall bush or solving mysteries that always seemed to plague the neighborhood. They were curious about how things worked: The world held certain constants (ice cream always tended to splatter onto the sidewalk if you didn’t eat it fast
enough), yet there were also things that seemed unpredictable (a baseball could either dribble across a field or fly over a fence depending on how it was hit).
