The Academia-Practice Partnerships (APP) Committee strives to improve structural engineering education for college students and engineers-in-training. These efforts advance NCSEA’s mission to support structural engineers in becoming highly qualified professionals and successful leaders.    

The Committee realizes this purpose through the following initiatives: 

  • Fostering college student and practitioner engagement at the state-level Structural Engineers Associations (SEAs)
  • Promoting courses, skills, and student-learning outcomes necessary for successful transitions from college student to professional engineer  
  • Connecting engineers-in-training with resources to broaden their skill sets and achieve licensure 
  • Collaborating with complementary organizations such as AISC Partners-in-Education and the SEI Committee on the Reform of Structural Engineering Education (CROSEE) on resources for college students and engineers-in-training

Engineering Educators: we want your feedback! Please fill out the survey below to help us evaluate the availability of structural engineering coursework. (Approximately 15 minutes to complete the required portion of the survey)
