Teaching Strategy Lectures: given on topics as class progress, with especial consideration within the class to link the existing topic with students' existing knowledge and further with the general overview. Review: review the content of each lecture and clarify any matters not understood. Tutorials: solving extra problems for each topic individually. Communication between lecturer and students through e-mail is also opened for this purpose.
Assessment Methods Quizzes. Midterm Exam. Final Exam. Oral Exam. If needed
1.2 Mapped to: K1, 1

Analyze and solve problems in various structural members subjected to combined loadings.
