Claudia Calle Müller; Ioannis Zisis; Amal Elawady; Mohamed Elzomor – Journal of Civil Engineering Education, 2025
The field of wind science and engineering (WSE) in relation to civil engineering (CE) applications is still considered relatively young and thus has been taught only for about 50 years in some academic institutions. Therefore, it is unsurprising that there are limited wind engineering (WE) tracks within CE programs worldwide, and no semblance of a…
