Structural Engineering

📢 Welcome to Structural Engineering – Year 1

Hello students,

My name is Josephat Mutie, and I will be your instructor for the Structural Engineering unit this semester. I am excited to welcome you to this course, which forms a key foundation for your journey in Civil Engineering.

In this unit, we will cover important topics such as:

  • Types of structures (beams, trusses, frames)

  • Types of forces and loads

  • Bending moments and shear forces

  • Properties of structural materials

  • Analysis of simple trusses

My goal is to make learning engaging, practical, and relevant to real-world engineering. Please feel free to ask questions, participate actively, and reach out if you need any support.

Let’s work together to build a strong understanding of structural principles that will support your future career as a professional civil engineer.

Looking forward to a successful and interactive learning experience with you all!

Warm regards,
Josephat Mutie
Instructor – Structural Engineering

TECHNICAL DRAWING

Welcome to Technical Drawing – Unit 1 Facilitated by: Mr. Josephat

Hello and welcome to this foundational course in Technical Drawing. My name is Josephat, and I’ll be your guide as we explore the essential principles and practices that underpin all technical and engineering communication.

This course is designed specifically for diploma-level learners who are ready to build their skills in visual communication, precision drawing, and geometric constructions. Whether you aspire to be an engineer, architect, or technician, understanding how to interpret and produce technical drawings is a critical step in your professional journey.

Throughout this unit, you will: ✅ Learn how to use drawing instruments and materials correctly ✅ Understand line types, lettering, and dimensioning ✅ Practice basic geometrical constructions ✅ Develop skills in orthographic projection and freehand sketching

Lessons will be delivered through video tutorials, guided practice exercises, and weekly assignments to keep your progress on track. I encourage active participation and questions—this is a space for curiosity and growth.

So, sharpen your pencils (literally and figuratively), and let’s get started!
