For courses in structural analysis
Teach students to develop their intuition and the habit of evaluating their results
Structural Analysis: Skills for Practice encourages engineering students to develop their intuition and the habit of evaluating the reasonableness of structural analysis results. The author presents examples and homework problems that incorporate a consistent thought process structure–guess, calculate, and evaluate their results–helping students develop the metacognitive skill of thinking about their own thought process. The text presents content not seen in other structural analysis books that students need to know to pass their licensure exam and frames ideas in the context of how they will apply it on the job. Drawing upon the evaluation skills gathered from a six year project with experienced structural engineers, Hanson’s Structural Analysis helps students learn skills to transition from novice to expert faster and become more competent in their careers.

About the Author
About our author
For over 20 years, Dr. James Hanson has blended his two greatest passions: engineering and teaching. His undergraduate and graduate degrees come from Cornell University where his engineering and teaching skills started developing. He further developed those skills as a structural engineer for a large chemical company and as an engineer officer in the US Army. As a result, he is a licensed professional engineer in New York and Indiana.
Now he is a Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology which means he gets to focus on developing pedagogies and testing their effectiveness. His specialty is speeding up the novice-to-expert transition in the area of evaluating the reasonableness of analysis and design results.
Jim's passion for blending engineering and teaching have led to awards from the American Society for Engineering Education, the American Society of Civil Engineers and the American Concrete Institute. Perhaps the most telling awards, however, are the ones he received based on nominations from his current and former students: the Rose-Hulman Honorary Alumni Award and the Dean's Outstanding Teaching Award.
