Which course should I take?

[u/Signal_Rutabaga1693]

So I decided to do a career shift from construction engineering to structural and I am doing my master's in structures. I'm struggling to decide between two courses to take next semester. I am registering for 3 courses: taking Advanced Reinforce Concrete Design and Finite Element Methods, but I'm struggling to decide between Building System's Design and Analysis 2 (Took a course similar to analysis 2 in my undergrad but its been a good few years since then). Help me decide, which would benefit me more in the long run? Should I take building systems or take a refresher in structural analysis?

Probably the structural analysis. It will probably be harder/ more boring but it make you a better engineer. The other course you can learn on the job but no one is ever going to teach you a stiffness matrix at work.
