upgrade my structural engineering
(OP)
I did masters in Structural eng in 1985 from USA. I did designing for concrete building structures for couple of years then i got involved with construction for quite some time. Now I have moved to Toroto in Canada and want to go back to St. designing. At present I don't have any knowledge of new soft ware. I don't have designing reference books. Being new to Toronto I have no idea where to go for the upgradation. Any place I can go and work voulanterely to update my self.






RE: upgrade my structural engineering
You’ve been out of the field for quite a while. Hunting the first job as a structural engineer might be the same difficult as a new immigrant, particularly if you don’t have registration in Canada or from the States. Check the government institutes for suitable programs to help. Once you find job, you can pick up very fast.

Secondly, check out the registration requirements there. I have no idea what they are in Canada. But you should be able to find out what is involved in getting registered or licensed, and plan accordingly. It might or might not require any additional education.
RE: upgrade my structural engineering
I believe in some countries they do this work as design-build; your construction experience may help there.
As for a design library, I suggest you look at e-bay for engineering texts. I have purchased a number of books this way.
Good Luck
