Prof. Segal teaches “Civil Engineering Design A” at Hofstra University. This course is a senior-level engineering design studio in which students design an open-air roof structure. In the course students communicate their design ideas by building physical models, drawing, performing calculations, writing, and delivering presentations. Throughout the semester practitioners serve as guest critics during design reviews.
