Global Seminar: Structural Analysis of Iconic Structures
This course seeks to examine the intersection of Structural Analysis/Design with Architecture, combining rigor with beauty.
This is best examined through iconic structures of a type seldom taught in undergraduate curriculum (arches, cables, shells), three-dimensional frames. Those may be bridges, towers, stadiums, cathedrals, museums, or large civic structures.
You will earn three Engineering credits with CU Engineering while living and learning in a bustling urban center where you can explore the Parisian culture and daily life in your free time.
Application deadline: February 1st 2019.
Highlights
- Go beyond the classroom and apply complex theories of structural analysis on-site of some of the world's most iconic landmarks in the heart of Paris
- Live and learn in a bustling urban center where you can explore the Parisian culture and daily life in your free time
- Earn three Engineering credits in Maymester
- Enjoy excursions around Paris and France
