The frequency of uncontrolled fire in an engineered building is low, but the consequences can be severe. Accordingly, the protection of structures from fire is critical for the life safety of building occupants and emergency responders, as well as community resilience. Architects and engineers alike hold tremendous influence in th
Course Objectives

By the end of this course, you will be able to:
