Education Module Now Available for Engineering Colleges
 The National Frame Building Association (NFBA) has developed a six-part educational module, Diaphragm Design of Post-Frame Building Systems, and is offering it free of charge to engineering colleges across the country. The six-sessions are developed to serve as a real-world application near the end of a traditional wood structural design course. The module assumes that students have been introduced to the basic provisions of the National Specification for Wood Construction. This educational series covers diaphragm design theory and methods and includes a comprehensive wood structural design example. Each session includes a PowerPoint presentation complete with scripted instructor notes and a student textbook for each session.
The module was developed by NFBA Technical and Research Advisor Harvey Manbeck, PE, PhD, who is Professor Emeritus at Penn State University, University Park, PA.
