How Skyscrapers Stand: The Science and Art of Structural Engineering – November 12, 2026

Join the International College of Manitoba (ICM) for this exciting demo class! What keeps a skyscraper standing? How do engineers transform fundamental principles of mathematics and physics into structures that are safe, functional, and beautiful? This demo class offers an introduction to the fascinating world of structural engineering, and explores the principles, ideas, and innovations that have shaped our built environment. Students will gain insight into how engineers approach problems, understand structural behaviour, and balance technical constraints with creativity and design. Beyond equations and calculations, the demo class will highlight the importance of curiosity, physical intuition, and engineering judgment, and will invite students to see the world around them from a new perspective and to consider the possibilities that a future in engineering can offer.
