Detailed description
The objective of this interactive multi-media software program, Structural Engineering Visual Encyclopedia (SEVE) is to provide students with a tool to learn how to read and interpret engineering construction drawings. It is designed to enhance the understanding of structural engineering terminology and to help increase a student& #185s three dimensional visualization of structural systems. It is a visual database of structural engineering information brought to life using 2-D and 3-D sketches, CAD drawings, photographs and animation.

This software tool is suitable for use as a supplement in Introduction to Civil Engineering and Structural Engineering courses.

SEVE won the 1998 Premier Award for Excellence in Engineering Education Courseware sponsored in part by NSF.
