The Master of Science in Structural Engineering (MSST), Building Structural Design Specialty, is a program designed to meet the needs of civil or structural engineers who need advanced course work to better analyze and design contemporary building structural systems.The MSST assumes that you have completed an undergraduate curriculum that included indeterminate structural analysis, structural steel and reinforced concrete design, and soil mechanics. The MSST expands on these fundamentals with course topics that include applied finite element analysis, structural dynamics, structural stability and structural system design. Other topics include design courses in structural steel, reinforced concrete, wood, masonry and foundations. All courses emphasize the ability to present and communicate design ideas to the client and other engineers.
