An attempt is made in this paper to define structural engineeringas it exists at present, then some historical structures are identified.Design/methodology/approach – The advances of structural engineering are discussed inchronological order, enpassing the development of the concept, analysis, the use of innovativeconstruction materials, and construction. The developments which necessitated the change of designphilosophies are presented, and the current status of structural engineering is discussed in terms ofseveral specific topics. Opportunities and challenges in the new millennium in structural engineeringare then presented in terms of education, service to society, and research.Findings – In the past, structural engineering always met the challenges it faced. It helped toimprove our quality of life, and its role in society is not expected to change in the near future.Originality/value – The paper has provided an overview of this important profession – fromancient history to the present day. Based on research over several decades it offers a prediction of thedirection in which this profession and the academic research that underpins it is likely to take in thefuture.Keywords Structural engineering, Civil engineering, HistoryPaper type Literature reviewIntroductionThe task of defining structural engineering is very plicated. At present it is a majorpart of civil engineering in most countries, but it could be part of any engineeringdiscipline where structures need to be built. Before discussing the engineering aspectsof structures, the most interesting question often asked by the general public is “Whatis a structure?” In a philosophical way a structure can be defined as what we seearound us in the plant world, insect world and the animal (including human) worldThe leaf of a plant could be very interesting, even breathtaking, but they are fragilestructures.
