Abstract

A new course was developed that teaches structural engineering with an integration of societal concerns and aesthetic sensitivity through a studio-based learning environment. In addition to rigorous engineering analyses, the course includes a week-long field trip and the creation of an exhibition and website designed for a general audience, which is an opportunity for students to learn communication skills for a non-technical audience. Course evaluations demonstrate the significant value of this form of teaching, which not only instructs but also inspires.
