Learn about Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) design of steel structures and dynamics of structures, and LRFD design codes and methodologies. Explore the AASHTO LRFD design methods in the traditional geotechnical engineering design areas of shallow foundations, deep foundations, earth retaining structures, along with geosynthetics.
The credit you earn from you certificate can be applied toward the completion of the online Master of Science in Engineering program.
