Review of: Fundamentals of Steel
A good course. It has been a long time since I have done anything with structural steel. It inspired me to get out my old Manual of Steel Construction.

The "Fundamentals of Steel - Part A" tested my memory about the subject. It has been 25 years since I worked with steel design. I was familiar with the total subject, although some of the information was new to me. It was a great course even though I did not receive a 100 on it. I missed 3 of the questions on the three areas I reviewed the most. I talked myself out of the correct answer. I am looking forward to taking "Fundamentals of Steel - Part B" in the future. Thanks, Rick

I decided to take this course to become more familiar with the materials I, frequently, use and recommend for my projects. I am a civil engineer and most, if not all, my project affiliation requires me to be familiar with steel and steel reinforcing. I learned information that I previously was aware of and the progress and improvements the have taken place since my varied involvement during my career.
