结构工程教育历史上一直基于四年制土木工程本科学位框架内的专业化。然而，许多从业者担心现代土木工程课程不能满足结构工程专业的需求。本文的目的是促进有关本科教育和结构工程专业所要求的技术技能增加的对话。基于问题的学习是作为一种战略，扩大土木工程课程，包括集中学习和解决问题的经验，以及从事学生在学习如何学习的过程中。本文报告我们的经验，将以问题为基础的学习在一个高年级的项目。结论讨论了将这种学习形式扩展到其他学生的挑战。
Structural engineering education has been based historically on specialization within the framework of a four-year undergraduate degree in civil engineering. Many practitioners, however, are concerned that modern civil engineering curricula are not meeting the needs of the structural engineering profession. The purpose of this paper is to contribute to the conversation about undergraduate education and the increased technical skills requested by the structural engineering profession. Problem-based learning is presented as a strategy for expanding the civil engineering curriculum to include concentrated study and a problem-solving experience, as well as engaging students in the process of learning how to learn. The paper reports on our experience in incorporating problem-based learning within a senior-year project. The conclusions discuss the challenges of extending this learning format to additional students.
