With generous funds from Princeton’s Dean of the College, in January 2016 we launched a massively open online course (MOOC) based on the bridges lectures of CEE262. The series consists of an Introduction lecture plus 8 more lectures that illustrate the art of engineering design as it relates to some of the worlds most significant bridges. More information can be found here.  The class enrolled over 10,000 students representing 178 countries.  Two new similar MOOCS are in development: one on buildings and another on vaults.

Maria Garlock is the 2016 recipient of the prestigious T.R. Higgins Lectureship Award which is presented annually by the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC).  It is considered the most prestigious and highest award given by the steel industry.

The Fall 2014 version of CEE463 was featured on the Princeton University homepage over the summer of 2015. The story can be found here, and a brief video capturing the spirit of the course can be found here. This course is a hybrid studio-lecture course for structural engineers.
