    General Structures and Lateral Forces 3-Day Workshop

     October (TBA), 2008

 

     University Outreach Center

 

     Oak Brook, IL

 


 

 

The focus of the workshop is to prepare A.R.E. candidates for the General Structures      and Lateral Forces portions of the exam by relating fundamental principles of structural engineering through problem solving and discussion of real life examples. The workshop is also designed to be a refresher course for licensed architects to give them more confidence in their daily practice.

      Who should attend the workshop:

Architectural Candidates preparing to take the A.R.E. General Structures and Lateral      Forces exams.

      Practicing architects and interns who desire a refresher course in structures.

     Goals of the Workshop:

  • Prepare Architectural Candidates for the General Structures and Lateral Forces Exam by using the instructors experience and education in architecture and structural engineering.
  • Relate the fundamental principles of structural engineering through problem solving and discussion of real life examples where these items are encountered.

     This refresher course in structures should give the attendee greater confidence and      more tools for their daily practice.

Attendees are very positive about this course. Mr. Garrett recently sent this comment, "I took your course in Chicago (Oak Brook) in March, and I just got back my results and I passed both structural sections of the test on my first try, in large part to your class and the material you presented. Thank you for providing such a seminar for those taking the ARE.  I do not think I would have done as well had I not taken your course. "
