Semester 2 (ONC)Toowoomba (ONC)Springfld (EXT)Toowoomba

Units 1.0 (Structural Engineering) Band 2

Synopsis

Engineering Technologists in all areas of employment are likely to be involved in building design and construction, and steel design, detailing and construction. This course therefore seeks to introduce the student to these commonly encountered areas of civil engineering. The Steel Technology component deals with weldability; fracture mechanics; fusion welding processes; distortion and tolerances; weld defects and Non Destructive Testing; cutting of steel; bolting technology; corrosion of steelwork. The Building Construction component of the course provides a broad overview of current building construction practice, embracing the structural, architectural and building services aspects.
