<p>awesome… Then you could take some ‘electives’ like Strength of Materials, Intro Materials Science (or whatever it’s called) and so on… I just Googled for prerequisites and Stanford (just an example that popped first…) needs:</p>
<p>[Master</a> of Science in Structural Engineering](<a href=“http://cee.stanford.edu/programs/seg/consideringseg/seplan.html]Master”>http://cee.stanford.edu/programs/seg/consideringseg/seplan.html)</p>
<pre><code>Mechanics of Materials (CEE101A)
Geotechnical Engineering (CEE101C)
Structural Analysis (CEE180)
Design of Steel Structures (CEE181)
Design of Reinforced Concrete Structures (CEE182)
Programming Methodology (CS106A or CS106X)
</code></pre>
<p>So I’m guessing 4-5 courses minimum. Now, you could sweet-talk your BArch advisor to allow you to count some of these as electives (instead of, say, some arcane ‘Studio 300 - abstract designs using drinking straws and toothpicks’ to take a class like Concrete… Or they may be included in the BArch curriculum altogether… DD1’s BS Arch has a couple of the above as dual-listed Arch and Civil Engineering…</p>
<p>As always, check with your specific school and advisor but I don’t think they’ll give you much grief. The above are standard fare civil engineering courses so they should be offered on a regular basis.</p>
