Structural engineering is a subset of civil engineering dealing with the design and analysis of buildings and large non-building structures to withstand both the gravity and wind loads as well as natural disasters. Besides, it may also cover design of machinery, medical equipment, vehicles or any other objects where structural functionality or safety are involved. Structural engineers must ensure their designs satisfy building codes.

Major structural engineering projects go through the following four stages: research, design, testing, and construction which are featured with the images below:

Structural engineering came to existence when the humans first started to construct their own structures. It became a more defined profession with the emergence of the architecture profession during the industrial revolution in the late 19th Century.^[1]

Entry-level structural engineers may design individual structural elements of a structure, for example, beams, columns, and floors of a building. More experienced engineers would be responsible for the structural design and integrity of an entire system, such as a building.

Structural engineers often specialize in particular fields, such as bridge engineering, building engineering, pipeline engineering, earthquake engineering, industrial structures, or special mechanical structures such as vehicles or aircrafts.

-'''Structural engineering''' is a type of [[civil engineering]] commonly dealing with design and analysis of [[building]]s and large non-building structures to endure both the [[gravity]] and [[wind]] loads as well as changing climate and natural disasters. However, it can also cover design of [[machinery]], [[medical]] equipment, [[vehicles]] or any other objects where structural functionality or safety are involved. Structural engineers must ensure their designs satisfy given performance criteria specified by the [[building code]]s.

-Structural engineering has existed since humans first started to construct their own structures. It became a more defined profession with the emergence of the [[architecture]] profession as distinct from the engineering profession during the [[industrial revolution]] in the late 19th Century. Until then, the [[architect]] and the ''structural engineer'' were usually one and the same. Only with the development of specific knowledge of structural theories that emerged during the 19th and early 20th centuries did the professional structural engineer come into existence <ref>{{cite web|url=http://structures.ucsd.edu/index.php?page=structural_engineering/about_us/history|title=History of Structural Engineering|publisher=University of San Diego|accessdate=2007-12-02}}</ref>.
