Courses

Our courses cover topics in structural analysis as well as introductory and advanced lectures in mechanics. In the offered modules, we prepare our students optimally for their future tasks in civil engineering through practical examples. The module contents are summarized below. Students of the University of Siegen can find up-to-date information about the courses and exams as well as the associated learning materials on the Moodle and unisono pages of the university.
