Structural Engineering Colleges
(OP)
Can you provide me with a good structural engineering school? I am a Mechanical by degree, but am looking to go and get a Structural degree also. My primary background since graduation has been about 8 years in the tank and pressure vessel industry and I have designed alot of structural leg systems, platforms, and cat walks. This is a field I am wanting to look into more and look at becoming a degreed S.E.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Optimally I would like to keep working and do as much as I can by distance. I realize this may not be possible. The wife and kids might go ballistic if I went back to school full time. If not possible and a move is needed, then I would like to be able to work while I attend classes.
I am currently in northeast Kansas. The local university here offers two classes for structural engineering and that is it. Other areas are very strong, but structural is not.
I would like to get into bridges and structures. Primarily with an emphasis on steel, then concrete.
Thanks for the quick reply.

Iowa State in Ames is a good university for structural engineering, partucularly bridges.
A little farther in the Midwest there is University of Illinois at Champange.

Thanks for the colleges. KSU doesn't have a structural program. I went to the KU website and they do have a structural program. Will have to swallow some pride to go there since I bleed purple (KSU).
Thanks again for the input. I plan on looking at NU and ISU also.

KSU does have an "Architectural Engineering" program that teaches structural engineering...but this is entirely focused on structural for buildings and not bridges.
