A point load is a load which is localized to a specific location on a structure. (Even though it is usually really not applied at a sharp point) The alternate kind of a load is a distributed load, which is pread accross a large area. For example, a pedestrian standing on a footbridge is considered a point load. Snow on the same footbridge is considered distributed load.

What is the actual job of a structural engineer?
The job of a structural engineer is to deal with the analysis and design of the structurre. They choose the materials that must support the loads and resist tension and compression. The structure must be able to withstand the forces, weather and some natural disasters.

What was the US nation's first engineering school?
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) -- "The oldest technological university in the English-speaking world". Founded primarily as an engineering school in 1824, RPI has been granting official engineering degrees ever since. Rensselaer's original engineering programs have been "ABET accredited" continually, since ABET was formed in 1936. Harvard has only one ABET accredited engineering program and it was wasn't officially accepted by ABET until 1962. West Point's engineering degrees, although old, were NOT officially accepted or accredited by ABET until 1985.
