    Structural Analysis: Skills for Practice encourages engineering students to develop their intui??on and the habit of evalua??ng the reasonableness of structural analysis results. The author presents examples and homework problems that incorporate a consistent thought process structure-guess, calculate, and evaluate their results-helping students develop the metacogni??ve skill of thinking about their own thought process. Drawing upon the evalua??on skills gathered from a six year project with experienced structural engineers, Hanson's Structural Analysis helps students learn skills to transi??on from novice to expert faster and become more competent in their careers."
