Our events, publications and training address structural engineers’ need for both a firm grasp of fundamentals and the profession’s increasing specialisation.
 
Promoting structural engineering
We showcase the accomplishments of structural engineers to the public by holding events like the Structural Awards and by acting as a source of expert comment on breaking news. 
We promote the benefits of structural engineering careers by collaborating with other professional engineering institutions to deliver events, workshops and competitions in schools.
We also provide tailored support and resources for students at universities.
