Design is deciding what you are going to make before you make it; and, as society’s needs have grown and new knowledge become available, the structural engineering designer has become more important. Yet many of the problems that we, as engineers, find difficult to solve today will become easy to solve tomorrow. So we will have new problems and should not only adjust to change but attempt to lead it.

Professor Edmund Happold

We certainly have other objectives, and I know that these objectives have been expressed on a number of occasions and in a number of different ways. I think that they are best embodied in our definition of structural engineering, as ‘the science and art of designing and making, with economy and elegance, buildings, bridges, frameworks, and other similar structures so that they can safely resist the forces to which they may be subjected’.
