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. Features - • Covers methods and techniques that are used in the development of off-the-shelf, software products.
• Current topics—Cloud computing, microservices, security and privacy, and DevOps — are covered that are not discussed in other software engineering texts.

He has a BSc in Physics from Strathclyde University and MSc and PhD degrees in Computer Science from St Andrews University. He has been a full Professor of Computer Science since 1986 firstly, at Lancaster University, and, subsequently, at St Andrews University. He has written several software engineering textbooks, including 'Software Engineering', now in its 10th edition, which has been in print since 1982. In 2011, he was awarded both the IEEE TCSE Distinguished Educator award and the ACM SIGSOFT Influential Educator award. He wrote his first computer program in 1970 and, almost 50 years later, still enjoys programming.
