M.E. in Structural Engineering 

at Anna University - Tirunelveli Regional Campus, Tirunelveli

From the pyramids of Egypt to the exploration of space, structural engineers have always faced the challenges of the future - advancing civilization and improving our quality of life. The coming decades will be the most demanding and rewarding times for structural engineers. Structural Engineering is a combination of theoretical understanding of physical principles and hands-on experience with various materials and geometries. They use basic structural ideas to develop complicated structural structures. Creative and efficient architecture may be achieved by employing the smallest number of resources, components, and materials possible. 

Structural engineers design the bones of the building, the sub-structure, that is involved with columns, rafters, and other elements that help stabilize the building. When they build their drawings and whatever they look after as a structural engineer, that is often covered by the facade that an architect encases that structure in. Structural Engineering professionals make sure the building is able to withstand any force it may see through its lifetime, be it gravity forces or lateral forces. The average annual salary for a Structural Engineer is INR 6.1 LPA, which may vary on the basis of the experience and skill set.

Absolutely, yes. The Structural Engineering coursework is a perfect blend of theory classes, field visits, research projects, and industrial workshops. You will get hands-on training and the practical exposure of real-world settings, which is important to excel in the professional world of construction in the future. It is very important to understand the challenges that come alongside, engage with industry professionals, and put the knowledge in the classroom to practical use.

The average starting salary package for students with a major degree in Structural Engineering is somewhere between INR 4 LPA and INR 6 LPA, which may differ based on your academic performance, skill set, internship experience, job role, employer, and the company location. You should keep on working on brushing up your skills and gaining as much practical experience as possible to stand out in front of the recruiter and demand decent salary packages.
