What is it about?
It is presented the devlopement of a computational software to aid students of higher education engineering programs through their learning journey in the area of structural design of reinforced concrete structures, enhancing their skills for a better preparation in industry and research.

Why is it important?
They way in which the art of designing reinforced concrete structures is taught in higher education engineering programs needs to evolve and adapt to this computarized era in which we are submerged. With the aid of Computed Aided Learning software the scope of current courses of reinforced concrete design can be enhanced as well as their learning outcomes, broadening opportunities for their integration into industry and research from their very early stages of education.
Perspectives
It is expected that with the aid of CALRECOD, research, teaching and learning for the design and analysis of reinforced concrete structures can be enhanced internationally both in academia and industry, not only for students but also for academics, researchers and structural designers.
