AA1 Results of Quizzes • Use white bond paper/s for all the quizzes and
CO1
module assessments. CO2
AA2 Results of Module • Use the front page of the bond paper/s in writing your
Assessments / solutions and answers
Assignments/ In • Solutions to the problem should be in a clear and
class exercise organized way.
CLASSROOM POLICIES:
Attendance: Required but not graded. You are responsible for whatever is taught
in the lecture.
Gadgets: Mobile phones, tablets, and laptops must be closed/switched off during
exams and silent mode during classes.
During Quizzes and Examination:
1. Mobiles phones must be switched off.
2. Always use Examination Booklet as an answer sheet during the examination.
3. Always keep your answer sheet neat. Do not crumple or write unnecessary
marks on it.
4. Write your answers legibly and show all pertinent solutions.
5. No credits will be given to answers without presenting the detailed solutions
6. No special quiz/examination will be given except for those with acceptable
reasons supported by a valid document from the university clinic.
7. Use a black or blue ball pen during examinations and quizzes.
8. Use at least 3 decimal places in the computation and in the final answer to
minimize erroneous results and box your final answers
If in doubt, don’t hesitate to ask the instructor.
Cheating: In particular copying from classmates’ works, assignments, or home
works or problem sets, especially cheating during examination/quiz, is a very
serious offense! If you are found cheating, you will automatically get a grade of 5.0
(Failed) in that particular work and the matter will be reported to the Department

A group must be composed of at most three (3) students
Decide among the group a type of steel structure to be analyzed
and designed
A presentation of the steel structure project undertaken is
required.
Submit a written report. A report should have the cover page,
table of contents, background, literature review, modelling,
computation of loads, analysis and result, summary and overall
design of the structure.
Steel Structures
1. Steel Roof Trusses – Covered-court, warehouse, stadium, etc.
2. Space Trusses – Transmission Towers, Eiffel Tower, etc.
