    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 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!

    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

  • @daxisperry7644
    @daxisperry7644 14 дней назад

    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.

    • @daveh9941
      @daveh9941 11 дней назад

      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
