Handleiding

Structural engineers apply physical laws and empirical

knowledge to build complex structural systems. Empirical

knowledge is simply information you learn by observing the

results of experiments and observing occurrences in the world

around you. Engineers build complex structures by combining

many simpler parts, called structural elements, together. These

elements have well-documented

physical properties, so engineers can

predict how they will work together

in the ﬁnal structure. In this kit, you

will learn about some of these

structural elements and use them to

build your own complex structures.

What Is Structural Engineering?

WHAT IS DESIGN

Engineers often use the word “design” to describe

what they do. Design is a sequence of steps that are

used to take an idea from concept to functioning

product or process. The engineering design process is

iterative, meaning steps can be repeated multiple

times and then improvements can be made each time,

until the correct or optimal outcome is achieved.

PROTOTYPE

When people think of structural engineering, most often they imagine the design and

construction of buildings, towers, dams, and bridges. But structural engineers are also

involved in the design of structures such as satellites, aircraft, ships, and medical

devices such as stents. The same physical laws apply to

the design of structures of all shapes and sizes.
