Programa de cursos integrados The Engineering of Structures Around UsFaculdade de DartmouthO que você vai aprender
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
Sobre este Programa de cursos integrados
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?
Projeto de Aprendizagem Aplicada
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.

Fazer cursos
Um programa de cursos integrados do Coursera é uma série de cursos para ajudá-lo a dominar uma habilidade. Primeiramente, inscreva-se no programa de cursos integrados diretamente, ou avalie a lista de cursos e escolha por qual você gostaria de começar. Ao se inscrever em um curso que faz parte de um programa de cursos integrados, você é automaticamente inscrito em todo o programa de cursos integrados. É possÃvel concluir apenas um curso — você pode pausar a sua aprendizagem ou cancelar a sua assinatura a qualquer momento. Visite o seu painel de aprendiz para controlar suas inscrições em cursos e progresso.
Projeto prático
Todos os programas de cursos integrados incluem um projeto prático. Você precisará completar com êxito o(s) projeto(s) para concluir o programa de cursos integrados e obter o seu certificado. Se o programa de cursos integrados incluir um curso separado para o projeto prático, você precisará completar todos os outros cursos antes de iniciá-lo.
Obtenha um certificado
Ao concluir todos os cursos e completar o projeto prático, você obterá um certificado que pode ser compartilhado com potenciais empregadores e com sua rede profissional.
Este Programa de cursos integrados contém 5 cursos
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.
