Let's learn about Structural Engineers! Structural engineers plan how to support buildings and their occupants. They also determine how to span a river with a bridge, or how to attach the wing of an airplane. Structural engineers are involved with just about anything that is constructed. They are also depended upon to support frame and foundations for buildings and bridges. I am an engineer because.... when I was younger I always wondered how things worked. It seemed that I was always building things, including clubhouses, bicycle ramps, and skateboards. I also was involved in sports and I really enjoyed math and science!   Scott Beck, P.E.
