Abstract

Over the years, it has been observed that many graduate engineers are unable to present themselves for the Professional Interview (PI) conducted by the IEM because they possess insufficient design experience, which is a prerequisite. This design review course is meant to better prepare potential candidates for the said PI.

Course Overview

This course is to provide the candidate the knowledge to understand areas on the following:
-Understand the behaviour of the structure in general
-Understand the behaviour of construction material
-Understand difference between idealisation and actual construction
-Prepare general layout
-Building loading to UBBL/BS6399
-Structural analysis including wind loading to MS 1553 /BS 6399
-Reinforce concrete design - BS 8110 and BS 8007/Eurocode
-Prestressed concrete design to BS 8110
-Structural and Composite steel design to BS 5950


Course Format
The course consists of classroom presentations. Participants are encouraged to actively engage in discussions.
