Premier resource for practicing structural engineers

SE GPT, powered by NSCEA, is a free and unique AI tool that relies on a library of trusted structural engineering resources to help users find the information they are looking for.

How Does It Work?

When a user prompts SE GPT to answer a structural engineering-related question or provide information on a topic, the system automatically generates a response based on a closed GPT database administered by NCSEA. This database includes only structural engineering-specific content written or produced by vetted professionals and organizations that support structural engineering, such as STRUCTURE magazine articles, NCSEA webinar transcripts, and more.

Citations Provide Context

Context is important, and so is knowing the source of the information given. SE GPT-generated answers are provided with citations from its database, so users know where the facts and details came from and can seek further knowledge by reading the original source material.

Click here to try out SE GPT for yourself. This tool is an ever-evolving resource and will be continuously updated with new reference material and guides as they are available. Because it is a new application, SE GPT may send you a survey link after you use it a few times. We welcome your feedback.

Add to Our Database

As an evolving program, SE GPT will continue to improve as more material is added to the database. If an organization with published documents on structural engineering or related topics would like to have its information included, please reach out to Shannon Wetzel at swetzel@ncsea.com.
