At the Institute of Structural Engineering of the ETH in Zurich a course concerning the e-learning project EasyStatics will be held on March 26, 2004. Detail Information is given by the course program mentioned above.

The course treats the functionality of the program EasyStatics and its possible uses as a tool for teaching structural design to undergraduate students in civil eingineering and architecture. It therefore concernes first of all the teachers and their assistants involved in this kind of teaching

However, the program EasyStatics might well be of interest also to professional architects and civil engineers. In fact, due to its unique friendliness and its non-trivial application domain, it can well become a tool for conceptual design of non-standard structures.

At the course the following publictions explaining the theoretical background in English and German authored by Prof. E. Anderheggen and Dr. P. Steffen will be handed out:

EasyStatics: A Tool for Teaching Structural Design

EasyStatics: Ein Werkzeug für die Tragwerkslehre

An article (in German) on the EasyStatics e-learning project with the title "Virtuelles Entwerfen in der Tragwerkslehre" has been published in the "tec21" journal of the Swiss society SIA on February 20, 2004
