10 Tips I'd Give Myself Before Graduating Engineering
I really appreciate your advices...Thank you so much for this video I wish more of this.🙏
Thanks! My pleasure :)
Do structural engineers earn a lot of money?
wheres your hi vis mate
Oh wow, doing fluid mechnaics next sem
I would love to know how to deal with difficult clients or dodgy tradesmen & builders, how to communicate properly or any tips on it. If you haven't made a video on it, I think that might be a good idea. Thanks Ben!
I’m guessing you have a Croatian background.
Nope but I’m interested to hear why you think that?
I did my carpentry apprenticeship under a civil engineer/builder and he would explain the reason for everything we did so I not only learned how to build something but the the structural reason behind it also, and you remind me of him he was Croatian 😊
Oh ok haha cool!
Very helpful! Thank you.
My pleasure!
True.....i graduated and in interview when asked questions i was completely blank i couldnt solve simple sfd bmd.....but thats how im Learning new things everyday....😅😢i know its frustrating but it is how it is.....u hv to keep learning....
Thanks budy
My pleasure!
Rubik cube is a nice one) What is your average (or best) time for solving a Rubik's cube? Thanks
Haha thanks and about a minute I can do it :)
what application do you use to take notes on your ipad and view it on your monitor?
I have been a structural engineer in the US for over 15 yrs and this is the single greatest explanation for retaining walls!
That’s awesome to hear, thanks!
This is the best video for anyone aspiring to go into structural engineering. After graduating with Bsc Civil Engineering, I always wanted to take up a structural engineering career. But I've always found myself working in construction. I have more than 5 years in construction Engineering experience. I don't know if it would be a good idea to venture into Structural Engineering now. I love structural engineering even though I've never practiced it. Any advice.
I couldn't agree more to keeping a second brain. Thanks for your tip. It helps me a lot.
Glad it helped. My pleasure! :)
I’m starting my second year of structural engineering next year. Am I able to use this, as next year we will learn about designing concrete, timber, etc 😢?

I think one thing to note is that you are a structural engineer in a certain industry, seems like residential and commercial building design. I've been an engineer for just about 5 years, and I started out in a big corporation like yourself but doing specific structural designs for the government. After a few years I decided to get my license and therefore jumped into this industry working to the building codes etc. Unfortunately I'm discovering I may not particularly like it, and the idea of being a licensed engineer may not be worth it in my opinion. There's a lot of cookie cutting, engineers don't fully understand the equations they're using and they're just looking to hang their hat on something, etc. etc. I miss the days of truly designing members and connections piece by piece, not using tables and relying almost 100% on software to do literally everything for you. It's interesting but I guess we have to do what we like best. Thanks for video!
Hello, wondering if you can guide if surface pro 7 is good for students in uni? As a laptop thing?
Are you still in school? And howmany years does it take to a degree like that?
thanks sir please try to speak english a little bit slow to make poeple like me understand ...
Hello , Saw your video felt so good and motivative, i was wondering if you can give me advice . currently 2nd year civil engineering and i am passioned for structural engineering. i have completed my steel design course at college so i need any video or course that can guide me for engineering concrete design course. please suggest me i live in ontario, canada
Nice. Spot on.
Thanks!
Thank you so much I'm really enjoy to watch your videos I'm geotechnical engineer from Algeria your content is very interesting
Thank you!
What's the most common use software?
Add translator langueg persian
Going on a marathon with your videos because they're all so helpful. Really loving the content
Thank you! Glad to hear you’re liking them :)
I have both but without biases despite of software limitations I settled on ipad pro which is a solid device . Surface has myriad of issues from flickering screen to face ID issue in low light and poor battery . The issue I have encountered with ipad is magic keyboard where some keys fail once in a while. Finally surface pro couldn't connect to my company portal, it keeps giving error 80180014

I started doing that email folder trick when I had a couple projects under my belt- organizing first by the internal project number and then its name makes it so easy to find discussions from forever ago to double check information for RFIs and shop drawings. I've also started adding the names of clients to the folders for more specificity, and it helps to remember the types of projects our usual clients tend to go for
This may sound like an odd question. But would it be a reasonable goal to Stick with smaller projects like residential and small steel structures and just work for yourself? Like writing up plans for builders. My thought is I’d like to keep it a small as I can while being able to make decent money.
The race to the bottom affects that too. You’d be surprise how many people think that $500-$1000 to design a house is a reasonable fee, when it should be more like 5-12k depending on the complexity. People will pay 300k for renovations and expect us to design stuff for nothing. It’s a terrible career imo
That was a great look into what you do, thank you!
Thank you!
This has been, by far, the best “come to work with me” video that I’ve seen to date
Glad you liked it, thanks!!
Our work is something that has little content on RUclips. This what you doing here is very good. Keep it up
Thank you!!
As a recent graduated who didnt have the chance to do intern work I really missed lots of experience, I have been studying but it is no doubt companies dont want you without prior experience so I have been quite depressed about it. I have been watching your videos and you are so wise for such a young man!! thanks for all the tips.
Excellent video.... Spelling it our as it is in real life!!!
Thanks!
Im going to school for civil engineering this year. Excited
Good luck!
oversimplification and modelling are integral parts of learning structural engineering
Sir i just finished bsc(maths).I inspired to study civil engineering, from where and what should i start.please advise
looking to switch to a dell windows tablet,from android and a laptop, my laptop has shit battery life, is too big and a bit heavy to bring along, while the android tablet has the exact problems the ipad has (less so but still)
2:09 i prefer erasing with the tip but you can do that too on a surface
Here because I can't choose between construction and structural engineer
Thank you so much you save me !!! Hi guys i need a structure analysis 2 help where i can found i good class in youtube and a good book ???
Thank you, I hope found your video earlier. It really helps!
I am a civil engineering student , thankyou for motivating me , kindly make videos on how to come up with structural designs
I am a registered civil engineer with 35 years in the field, solving problems is part of the trade. Payment is a matter of free market, experience and knowledge, by the way not every country is equal.
Great video. Graduated 10 yrs ago, worked as structural design for few months but never had someone to show me the calculations. I do pretty good on exercises (single structures)but in real life, all the structures connected I don’t know how to start.
I love your content Man it's inspiring me alot. Keep it up bro💪🏾👍🏾
Thank you!
Basically there's no comparisn here. iPad is just a big phone with pencil that doesn't even do it's job as a phone. Surface Pro is a computer that's also a tab and both does it's job well.
with computers, learn from sesmic-detection arrays, sonar-arrays, camera-sensor-arrays(use 30x to 48x zoom to observe vibrations, same tripod model per array). measure modular, within context of 4 sides and 8 directions(2nd order anulus, outer-corners). repeat with center-objective as "hollow" to double-check. towns-cities with weather-climate then 500-mile radius edge-geography. learn from sensors. biome is part-of, subset-of feng-shui.
toy PVC(good sonic properties, easy availability)-stethoscope to phone-microphone phone camera (bigger is more vibration) phone accelerometer-gyroscope (game mode) optional thermal-imager laser-range-finder laser-alignment (renovation tools) arrays of height and distance.
Haha, I would literally need so much more food than just half a lunchbox and 2 protein bars😅.
