Structural Engineering Training System for High School | Intro to Civil Engineering

Learning System: 96-SE1

Amatrol’s Structural Engineering 1 Learning System (96-SE1) introduces learners to the field of civil engineering. Civil engineers are responsible for creating structures such as skyscrapers, bridges, tunnels, dams, mass transit systems, water treatment facilities, and many more structures that we use every day for living, transportation, and industry. Learners will learn the fundamentals of structural analysis as well as bridge design and construction.

The structural engineering training system includes the T9004 Structural Testing Systems consisting of a workstation, bridge component sets, a test fixture set, indicator package, bridge designer software, supplemental CD, and interactive multimedia student curriculum. These components are used to teach topics such as civil engineering careers, structural stability, force vectors, and bridge design.

Learning Topics

  • Civil Engineering Careers
  • Bridge Design and Construction
  • Truss Bridge Design and Analysis
  • Structural Types, Elements, and Stability
  • Force Vectors
  • Free-Body Diagrams
  • Bridge Research and Design

Build and Evaluate Different Bridge Designs!

The 96-SE1 features modular building elements that can be connected to form multiple types of bridges including the Warren, Pratt, and Howe truss bridges as well as a four-story building structure. The T9004 test unit features a heavy-duty frame and a powerful hydraulic loading system to test these structures under realistic conditions. The flexible mounting system enables each structure to be easily mounted for testing.

Structural Design Software Challenges Students

Learners will use bridge design software to explore the characteristics of other bridge designs beyond those available for construction using the T9004. The software offers many learner-configured design parameters including structural member length, cross-section size, material, and bridge type. It then simulates a vehicle driving across their bridge showing how the bridge reacts to the vehicles weight across the span.

Interactive Structural Engineering eLearning Curriculum

Amatrol's structural engineering training system features interactive eLearning curriculum that integrates various types of learning methods to create an engaging, effective learning experience. Amatrol’s multimedia eLearning curriculum includes text with voiceovers, videos, 3D animations, pictures, and interactive activities, quizzes, and self-reviews. Specific structural engineering topics covered include: civil engineering careers; bridge design and construction; and truss bridge design and analysis. Within these topics, learners will study objectives like designing a truss for stability; calculating forces using free-body diagrams; and building and testing Pratt and Howe truss bridges.

Free Learning Management System (LMS)

Amatrol eLearning is easy-to-use for both students and instructors. Its web-based interface is simple to navigate and available on any WebGL-compatible Internet browser. Instructors love Amatrol eLearning for its simple, yet sophisticated Learning Management System (LMS). The LMS allows instructors to create custom courses, monitor student participation, track course progress, assess knowledge levels prior to a course, and test knowledge levels after completion. Learners appreciate the fact that they can start and stop as needed, moving through each Amatrol course at their own pace. If a self-review reveals that they didn’t understand a particular topic as well as they thought they did, they can revisit it before moving on.
