Improving the Understanding of Structural Design Module through a Group Coursework

摘要

Structural engineering is a field of engineering that ensures that the structure can be constructed and is durable and stable, which help to meet the need for a more sustainable world. This paper focused on improving student understanding of structural engineering (concrete and steel). A questionnaire was given to the students to see their responses regarding the coursework, the questionnaire contains 10 questions and most of the questions had a scale of 1-5, with being 1- strongly agree 2- agree 3- Neutral, 4- Disagree, and 5- Strongly Disagree. The conclusion drawn from the results are that student understanding can be improved significantly through a coursework. The students have learned a different type of learning environment, time management, communication skills, and meeting deadlines.
