Structural engineering is a sub-discipline of Civil Engineering which engages in the design of structures such as buildings, bridges, and tunnels. They are frequently engaged in the demolition of structures as well, because information about the forces on it is needed as well.

Typical undergraduate courses in structural engineering include the following:
