National Engineer’s Week celebrates the contributions of engineers to the world. For STRUCTURE, we recognize the phenomenal contribution of Structural Engineers to the built environment.
STRUCTURE appreciates the efforts of our partners (NCSEA, SEI, and CASE) and other engineering organizations and firms to shine a light on what engineers do – and encourage young people to consider careers in engineering.
With many schools still virtually learning and teaching, one such engineering firm has created a free STEM learning activity that provides a look inside the intricate art of bridge-building.
The step-by-step booklet (available for download here) offers an educational take on the design and structural process, providing a great way to get children excited by engineering challenges and show them how rewarding creative problem solving can be.
If you are aware of additional free resources about structural engineering that can be used year-round to get the next generation of SEs excited about engineering, please contact publisher@STRUCTUREmag.org. We would be happy to include a list on our website. And please share this post with any teachers that might be interested.
Happy Engineer’s Week!
