CEE 340: Structural Analysis I
Structural Analysis I (CEE 340) is a core offering for undergraduate students traditionally taken during their junior year, and for many is their first exposure to civil structural engineering. This course is required for all students intending to pursue a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering. The course is delivered in a traditional lecture style, and focuses heavily on analytical techniques for computing the internal forces in structures, an important skill for the material-specific design electives that follow. The course also provides some of the philosophical foundations for structural design methods, and general topics related to structural types and geometry. Dr. Hedegaard approaches this course from a fundamental perspective, building up a foundation of structural engineering knowledge not simply with application of techniques (clearly a necessary skill to progress through the elective curricula), but development and discussion of general engineering principles. This course has been taught Spring 2015, Spring 2016, and Spring 2017. |
CEE 547: Concrete Structures II
Concrete Structures II (CEE 547) is a graduate level elective that is of primary interest to students intending to pursue careers in civil structural engineering. This class expands upon the design principles for concrete structures as introduced in Concrete Structures I (CEE 447). Though some of the presented topics are design procedures found in the American Concrete Institute Committee 318 building code, Dr. Hedegaard focuses much of the classroom discussions on the physical behavior of concrete structures, design philosophies not contained in the code, and mathematical derivations of the origins of said building provisions. The class is conducted via a mixture of traditional lectures and question-and-answer discussions facilitated by Dr. Hedegaard. This course has been taught Fall 2014, Fall 2015, Fall 2016, and Fall 2017. |
