    Session Overview

    With the rapid advancement of digital technologies in the engineering profession, it is increasingly important to prepare students to work effectively with the digital tools that are shaping modern infrastructure delivery. This session shares the experience of incorporating MIDAS CIVIL NX into a fourth-year Bachelor's and a Master's civil engineering unit focused on the analysis and design of prestressed concrete bridges.

     

    Beyond software use as a standalone technical skill, the session considers how digital tools can be positioned within a broader learning process that connects engineering concepts, structural analysis, and design-oriented thinking. Drawing on this teaching experience, it offers a practical perspective on the opportunities and considerations involved in integrating digital tools into civil engineering education.

    Learning Objectives

    📌Fundamentals to Practice  

    Explore how bridge engineering theory can be taught alongside the digital tools used in real-world bridge design practice. 

     

    📌Integrating CIVIL NX into Learning 

    Learn how CIVIL NX can be integrated into lectures, tutorials, and assessments to create a connected and structured learning experience.  

     

    📌Models to Decisions  

    Discover how students can develop bridge models, perform structural analyses, interpret results, and apply engineering judgement in a design context.

    📌Strengthening Engineering Judgement  

    Consider approaches to ensure software supports—rather than replaces—the development of students’ engineering understanding and professional judgement.
