Seminar& Workshop

Are you a Structural Engineer who is considering pursuing the Designated Structural Engineer (Struct.Eng.) designation? This two day session will provide an opportunity for you to learn the ins and outs of the IStructE exam allowing you to determine whether this is the route you wish to pursue.

Day 1 - Seminar

This session concentrates on the general principles and tchniques required by candidates to successfully complete the IStructE Exam. Candidates from the previous exam will discuss their unique perspective of the exam experience and share tools and strategies for passing. In addition, each will present a question from the exam and demonstrate how they came to a successful solution. David Harvey, P.Eng., Struct.Eng., British Columbia's IStructE representative, will be on hand to give an overview of the IStructE training seminar delivered by Dr. Peter Gardner to APEGBC Members in April 2003.

Day 2 - Workshop

This workshop is designed to give you additional practice in working through exam questions. Past exam participants will lead the group in the collective solution development to Part 1a exam questions. Participation and group discussion are encouraged during this day of hands-on training.

The Institution of Structural Engineers brings structural engineers from many countries together to contribute to the overall development of the science and art of structural engineering.

The Institution has approximately 22,000 members of whom 50% are entitled to describe themselves as Chartered Structural Engineers. The vast majority achieve Chartered membership by passing the Institution Examination. The examination itself is a seven hour test in practical structural engineering design. The examination is internationally available and is taken approximately simultaneously at some 30 centres in the UK and 40 centres in countries outside the UK.

The examination is recognized internationally as a challenging but fair test of competence in structural engineering design.

APEGBC has become the most recent organization to offer the exam on behalf of IStructE to interested structural practitioners in BC. Professionals who successfully pass the IStructE exam will have met the basic technical knowledge requirement for registration with the IStructE as a Chartered Engineer and/ or with APEGBC as a Designated Structural Engineer (Struct.Eng.).
