Checklist For Week 1: Study Guide 1: Introduction To Steel Structures Week/Date: Week 1 (January 25-30)

This study guide provides an overview of the learning tasks and objectives for Week 1 of a course on steel structures. Students are asked to complete 3 learning tasks over the week: 1) read introductory materials on steel design, 2) complete a learning activity calculating properties of steel shapes and built-up members, and 3) contribute to an online forum discussing definitions of steel, building codes, advantages and disadvantages of steel, and whether steel or reinforced concrete is a better structural material. The intended learning outcomes are to understand steel stress-strain characteristics, structural design symbols, and calculate unit weights of steel shapes.
