Специализация The Engineering of Structures Around UsДартмутский колледжЧему вы научитесь
How and why the world's structures (including structures in the natural and biological world) were designed and constructed the way they were
To conceptually design and build prototypes of structures
To describe the loads expected on a structure and the resulting flow of forces through the structure
To identify and compare structural elements, forms, and systems
Специализация: общие сведения
In this Specialization, you will learn some engineering principles that can be applied to structural systems everywhere: in nature, in furniture, in mechanical and aerospace systems, and in any solid object that resists a load.
Together we’ll explore how structures work, why they were designed the way they were designed, how they support loads, and where forces flow through them.
More specifically you will:
Learn about funicular forms and how ropes and cables resist tension. Discuss how columns, arches, and anti-funicular forms resist compression. Discover how trusses, beams and walls resist loads. • Sketch the flow of forces through structures. Compare and contrast different structural forms and systems to answer a range of questions such as: Why might an engineer choose a beam over a truss? How do the dimensions of a structure affect its response? How do engineers choose forms and systems to create structures that are both elegant and functional?
Проект прикладного обучения
In this Specialization, 'The Engineering of Structures Around Us', learners will be able to some engineering principles that can be applied to structural systems everywhere. The hands-on building challenges throughout this Specialization allow you to apply engineering principles to build your own structures at home or anywhere.

Пройти курсы
Специализация Coursera — это серия курсов, помогающих в совершенстве овладеть определенным навыком. Можно сразу записаться на специализацию или просмотреть курсы, из которых она состоит и выбрать тот, с которого вы хотите начать. Подписываясь на курс, который входит в специализацию, вы автоматически подписываетесь на всю специализацию. Можно завершить всего один курс, а потом сделать паузу в обучении или в любой момент отменить подписку. Отслеживайте свои курсы и прогресс на панели управления учащегося.
Практический проект
В каждой специализации есть практический проект, который нужно успешно выполнить, чтобы завершить специализацию и получить сертификат. Если для практического проекта в специализации предусмотрен отдельный курс, прежде чем начать его, необходимо завершить все остальные курсы.
Получите сертификат
Когда вы пройдете все курсы и завершите практический проект, вы получите сертификат, которым можно поделиться с потенциальными работодателями и коллегами.
Специализация включает несколько курсов: 5
Engineering of Structures: Tension
This course deals with tension. Tension is one of the easiest forces to understand. It is a pulling force. When we tend to pull an object, it is in tension. Different elements that resist tension in buildings are ropes, cables, and funicular forms. You will study different structures and identify what role tension plays in their designs. The first module explores tension and its importance in building structures.
Engineering of Structures: Compression
This course deals with compression. When we push an object, it compresses. Compression is what's going to hold up our building. Arches, vaults, domes, and anti-funicular forms help resist compression. In this course, you will learn about different columns and arches and their role in resisting compression. You'll also build anti-funicular forms. The first module introduces you to the topic compression and familiarizes you with the key terms related to compression. The second module deals with topics such as columns, arches, and other anti-funicular forms. It explores their roles in resisting compression. The final module explores how to build anti-funicular forms.
Engineering of Structures: Tension and Compression
This course deals with tension and compression. After going through this course, you will understand why tensegrity structures and sculptures are different from other structures. You will also explore tension and compression in different types of trusses. Additionally you will understand determinacy and realize how it applies to trusses. The first module introduces you to the concept of tension and compression. The second module explores topics such as tensegrity structure, trusses, and determinacy. After finishing this module, you will also be able to calculate the force in members of a truss. The third module explores how to build a truss bridge.
Engineering of Structures: Shear and Bending
This course deals with shear and bending. Shear is a set of parallel, non-collinear forces acting across an element and bending is the curved form taken by a slender element when subjected to loads perpendicular to the element. These forces are easy to understand. You will study how stress and bending force acts for different structures and also, identify what role these forces play in their designs. The first module introduces you to the concept of shear and bending while building structures. The second module explores different understanding of stress and bending. It defines important terms used to understand these forces. It also studies the impact of shear and compression on beams of different materials. You will also learn how to calculate shear stresses and bending stresses. The third module explores how to build a cardboard beam or shelf . You'll also study the structure beam and share a report on it.
