Syllabus
This course is full of best-in-class content by leading faculty and industry experts in the form of videos and projects
Course Overview
- In this course, students will deal with the analysis and design of the substructures of a bridge.
- Students will also get hands-on experience with analysis and design software such as STAAD.Pro and Autodesk Structural Bridge Design.
- In this course, students will learn how to analyse and design the substructures using the above software and effective utilisation of Microsoft Excel tools.
Course Syllabus
On a daily basis we talk to companies in the likes of Tata Elxsi and Mahindra to fine tune our curriculum.
