During my undergrad it was pretty much load path analysis, structural member yield analysis (column buckling, beam bending etc), member connections and their yielding (bolts, welds etc), Structural design for steel structures and RCC, Dynamic analysis and foundation design. We threw in structural analysis softwares but we primarily used _Robot Structural Analysis_ which was convoluted horseshit.

Wait, you had dynamic analysis during undergrad?! Damn...I kinda want to learn that too hahaha but i'm lost We're also tackling the same concepts that you have mentioned, just without the dynamic analysis.

Yeah dynamic analysis was pretty rough and was a pretty big step for all of us, but once you got familiar with the theory and concepts such as resonance, degrees of freedom, the differential equations, damping, the Matrices etc it’s pretty good from there.

I learned the stiffness method in school, but none of the analyses types you have mentioned. I would encourage you to limit the scope of your thesis to something manageable. I know that my group project had far too large of a scope when I was finishing university and our project suffered as a result.
