About Course
Steel and composite structures are integral to modern building design, offering strength, flexibility, and efficiency. Mastering their design principles ensures safe, cost-effective, and sustainable construction.
This module provides a comprehensive foundation in designing steel-concrete composite buildings in accordance with Eurocode 4 (EC4).
Key areas of focus include:
- Structural Steel Design: Member stability, safety considerations, plastic analysis, and overall frame stability.
- Composite Design: Techniques for designing composite beams, slabs, columns, and joints.
- Construction Practices: Practical approaches to ensure compliance and structural integrity.
This module is part of an updated learning pathway stackable towards a Graduate Certificate in Structural Engineering and SIT’s Master of Science in Civil Engineering.

Certificate and Assessment
A Certificate of Attainment will be issued to participants who:
- Attend at least 75% of each module, and
- Undertake and pass credit-bearing assessment during the module
Participants will be awarded a Graduate Certificate (GCert) in Structural Engineering if they two core modules and one elective module (totalling 18 credits) with a Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of 2.0.
The GCert is stackable towards SIT’s Master of Science in Civil Engineering (MSc CVE), and candidates who attain a CGPA of 2.5 or above may apply for transfer to the MSc CVE programme.
Participants who meet the attendance requirement but do not pass the assessment will receive a Certificate of Participation.
