The article informs about concrete beam design and how design is often accepted as a fundamental aspect of engineering. Topics discussed include complex nature of design, design thinking, questioning, and decision making; uniform single polygon rectangular cross-sectional areas in the moment-of-inertia lab; and focus of this second article of two is another moment-of inertia lab and a final concrete-beam design challenge.
