Course Type Required Credits 3 Teacher YU CHIH PENG
Department Department of Civil Engineering/Undergraduate Language English Semester 2026-SPRING
Course Description This course introduces the fundamental theories in structural analysis. By applying the approaches based on force equilibrium, students learn to assess the reaction, internal forces and deflection for structure system under loading.

This course includes several sessions of flip-classroom.
