Education Plan for Cold-Formed Steel Design
Abstract
Traditional engineering and architecture education curriculums are being challenged to provide future designers of building structures with the requisite background information for design. However, because education curriculums cannot provide an in depth coverage of all aspects of building design, industry is being called on to augment these curriculums. Therefore, in 1991, the Education Subcommittee of the Committee on Specification for the Design of Cold-formed Steel Structural Members was founded. The Subcommittee was formed to facilitate the following mission of the Committee on Specifications: Through research and its implementation, develop and maintain a concise, comprehensive and accepted practice-oriented design specification for safe and economical cold-formed steel structures; Through education and technical communications, encourage innovative applications and expanded use of cold-formed steel. Summarized in this paper are the significant activities of the Subcommittee, to include the development of a strategic plan, as well as its accomplishments and ongoing activities.
