In this video Karolina Kawiaka, an architect and lecturer at Dartmouth College, and Tim Eliassen, an engineer and the founder and president of TriPyramid Structures, Inc. share a few of their thoughts on the differences and similarities between engineering and architecture and how engineers and architects collaborate on projects

Illustrator and writer David Macaulay talks about the importance of sketching or drawing to help understand what's passing through your eyes.

Calculating how much load a cable stayed bridge can hold

In this video we will explore funicular forms: what are they? where do they occur in structures? and how do the forces vary as we change the form? These are just a few of the questions we'll explore.

An example of how by distributing load on a rope or cable, we get a lower tension force.

In this example we will design the cables of the suspension bridge. How does the suspension bridge compare with the cable-stayed bridge?

Design Thinking is a process used by engineers, architects and designers to create innovative solutions to problems and needs.

In this example we calculate how many books can go in a basket without the rope breaking.

In this lesson we explore vaults and domes. How are vaults and domes similar? How are they different?

In this video we use a tension protractor to measure the angles and tension forces in a funicular form with an applied vertical load. We'll explore how the forces in a string change as the angle changes.

In this example we look at the Landscape Arch, a natural stone arch in Utah. How close is the applied stress in the arch to the allowable stress of the stone?

In this video we explore anti-funicular forms, which include arches, vaults, domes, and concrete shell structures. How are they designed? And what types of forces do they resist?

In this video, we we look at what factors need to be considered to hold the weight of the zipline traveler?

What is a beam in engineering?

How to build a truss bridge

Beams - shear stress and bending stress

Types of beams - cantilever, propped, and simply-supported
