ASSET Master training programme
The two departments of civil engineering in Glasgow have joined forces in the delivery of the new ASSET Master Training Programme (Advanced Series of Structural Engineering Training), starting in October 2000. The programme has a modular format, comprising a series of short, intensive 5-week modules, supported by the web-based training material. This allows for a delivery of master level training for the full or part time MSc, individual professional development courses. The emphasis is to replace the treatment of structural analysis and design as related, yet separate, processes by the high quality structural design synthesis, which depends on the sound theoretical understanding of the powerful analysis and design tools available, and on the ability to put these powerful tools to use.
