<div><em><strong>Sravu</strong> asked: </em></p>
<p>I have a masters in Structural Eng. and a bachelors in civil eng. My whole education has been in India. My work experience which was also in India(~1.5 years)  is in design of power plants and its structures.It involved extensive usage of STAAD pro and AutoCAD.  My last job was about 2 yrs ago. I could not work earlier because of visa but now I can.</p>
<p>My target jobs are entry to mid level structural engineer. I had a couple of interviews that went well but the employers were concerned because I did not have knowledge of building codes used in USA. I was told the only way to learn them is either at work or go back to school.  I could not write EIT because the evaluation  said I dont have enough credits in social studies !!! No body teaches social studies in asia. </p>
<p>I already have a Masters and do not want to do a PhD or another masters. Should I keep looking? I live in Atlanta, GA and would like to know if I could take any courses that helps me in learning codes and also take EIT &#8211; TIA.</p>
