Force Analysis Physics, Statics - Instructor: Ryan Habkirk

We explore structures’ behavior in static equilibrium, we evaluate external and internal reaction forces due to applied forces and reaction forces in members and joints of a structure.

Surveying 2 - Instructor: Joseph Markovic

Expanding upon the topics from SURV1001, we continue to develop intricate surveying skills.

Dynamic Presentation; Dynamic Communication - Online, Instructor: Amanda Quibell

❖ We practiced self and peer evaluation to improve presentation skills and are expected to develop professionalism as speakers and listeners in order to meet the learning outcomes.

❖ In this course, we had design and deliver a series of presentations that build our skills in storytelling, “how to” explanations, persuasion, and visual communication. The focus stays on clarity, audience connection, and using their voice and media in ways that support the speaker, not just slides.
