| Abstract: |
Rapid changes in technology coupled with global societal developments and challenges require a new breed of structural engineer, more broadly capable than ever before. We must define a new set of structural engineering competencies and dramatically overhaul our approach to the engineer’s education and development. This will require a massive collaboration among stakeholder organizations world-wide. The future of our profession depends on it. |
