12. Life-long Learning Opportunities

The knowledge of structural analysis and approximate analysis of structures will be learned
by the students at the end of the semester; this knowledge shall be added to their technical
know-how on structural analysis and design and shall be applied eventually when they
become practicing civil engineers.
