CURRICULUM 470E/1101P
EDUCATIONAL SKILL REQUIREMENTS (ESRs)
In-depth knowledge of construction materials, particularly reinforced concrete and steel, and their performance characteristics including tensile strength, yield strength, modulus of elasticity, ductility, and toughness.
Working knowledge of matrix analysis techniques and the finite element method (FEM) of structural analysis; including capability to develop and provide design criteria for computer input and interpret the output in terms of magnitude and distribution of internal forces including moments and shears.
Capability to establish the limit of structural elastic response and its relation to the failure load and extend the analysis into the inelastic range through an understanding of plastic analysis or ultimate loading principles.
Basic understanding of the probabilistic responses of various structures to seismic accelerations. Understanding of single and multi degrees of freedom in seismic modeling.
Sound foundation in the principles, techniques and methods of engineering and the related mathematical and physical sciences including the physical and chemical properties of engineering materials and the uses, limits, and benefits of these materials.
Basic understanding of data processing and computer techniques for application to engineering problems.
Working knowledge of and ability to apply business and financial accounting principles.
Proficiency in oral and written communications and ability to identify, research, and recommend alternatives to various engineering problems for presentation to both technical and non technical managers.
If a thesis or major report is required for the degree, the topic selected must be applicable to structural problems found in the Navy or extends knowledge in a particular technical engineering area often relied upon by the Navy.
