CEGR 436 / CEGR 492 · Two-Track Design Course

Introduction to Structural Steel & Reinforced Concrete Design

An interactive undergraduate platform covering both Structural Steel Design per the AISC 360-22 Specification (LRFD) and Reinforced Concrete Design per ACI 318-19. Each chapter includes lecture notes, AISC/ACI-referenced formulas, FE-style worked examples, common mistakes, interactive calculators, and a 20-question randomized exam simulator that doubles as FE Civil prep.
