5 Reasons Why I Love Civil Structural Engineering

[@MatPicardal]

Why do you love (or dislike) civil structural engineering?

[@akhillanka4279]

Sir please make videos on software firms that develop structural engineering softwares

[@akshaysonar1625]

I think it's very risky job. I make so many mistakes in calculation. A small mistake in calculation can destroy things. Thats why I worried

[@theshadowworld6907]

I love structural engineering bcz of its a high responsible job for Safe people life. If i save one life i feel better inside of my heart 💝 and structural engineering is responsible and opportunity to save the world by your research knowledge Design safe structure. Hlw I'm Arjun, Civil engineering student(BSC). Lots of Love💝💝 from Bangladesh.

Hey I guess Im leaning towards the dislike civil engineering side. Please note that I said civil and not structural engineering. I worked as a site/shop floor engineer for about 4 years in 3 different companies in Asia. And the hours were super loong. But the main problem that I faced was the politics and, should things go south, the finger pointing to blame people. From my visibility and opinions from a couple of friends, this work culture is prevalent in most civil engineering companies in the region. And this was reflected in the engineering offices too. Just wanted to rant. Feels good to blow off some steam.🙂

Im still a freshman so idk anything about working in actual industry. I am also a pretty pessimistic person and worried i might make a mistake in calculation of that sort that will cause an accident. Will that thing happen or am i just paranoid?

Dude Structural Analysis is a topic you will continually keep learning over not only your studies but career. I'm 9 years into professional work and still learning SA and finding new ways to apply advanced topics to the ever more complex projects I get to work on.

We are of the same interest. Structural Engineering is scientific, full of challenges and enjoyment. You become creative. It is life satisfying.

Engineering is a creative field, one that requires intense imagination and sometimes lots of sweat, blood and tears! Its can get really tough but yet, is super rewarding! As a mechanical Engineer, I love this video as its so relatable to my field! I'm planning to make a similar video on channel soon. Great video Mat, as always! Thanks for the inspiration :)

Reason #1 is to true. "Everything you ever wanted to know you learned in Statics and Mechanics of Materials." Over and over and over again my professor said this in every one of his advanced design class lectures. The more I practice, the more I realize how correct he was!

[@SarahCunningham71]

Love your energy and point of view! Found myself nodding in agreement to most of these points, and I've been doing this for almost 3 decades. Wish KZbin was a thing back then, and that I made videos talking about my work. That archive of what it was like would be amazing to have to review. Also...is it just me, or does every civil engineer find Statics to be the! hardest! while they're taking it but as soon as it's over and you revisit some of that in other classes, it's like the simplest thing ever and just clicks into place?

[@ZiebartPatel]

Mam! Just observe the worst scenario for Civil/Mechanical/Electrical in India. Civil Engineers are the poorest among all engineers. And the payscale downgrades them to the status of a mason.

I am a Civil Structural Engineer and Project Manager for 15 years. Pandemic hit, the project on my office got low since last. So I do agree on what you say its transferable. Now I landed on a job to Manager a Hardware and Fabrication Company, I used my skill that I learn from more than a decade and apply it into the different industries that I am in now.

[@civeng1357]

Spending my Junior Year in civil engineering. Currently in Statics which is a bitch to learn ngl. It’s difficult plain and simple but the year just started so I’m not totally freaking out. Since I’m probably gonna be using it a lot after graduation.

[@yoannesothonggai8357]

I love it too am even advances in some software now like autocad , sketchup and revit Sturctural but I haven't yet step to university 🙃

[@benitapam]

I really love structural engineering and as a student will love to focus more it, buh still a little kind of scared bcus of the range of maths, buh I'm sure it'll be fun

[@MrCbrehaut]

I love it because we design infrastructure and massive structures. 20 years experience and 15 was oil and gas platforms.

[@bishwasharma9171]

You clear many of my doubts being as a structural engineer 😊

[@mrwadonsa]

Im structural engineer since 15 years,to me structural engineering is the art of simplifying things,to be successfull in structural engineering one should be very skillful in simplifying complex problems,people who find structural engineering difficult are those who dont have the talent of making things simple

[@shaikhchilliee]

Hey Mat! Great video! Really helpful for all the structural engineering students out there, just wanted to ask one question if you could answer that's be great. I have currently enrolled for a master's degree in structural engineering at California State University Northridge, first of all, since you're at California, what do you think about this university? Secondly and most importantly, do you need to gain experience as a site engineer in order to find a job in the structural engineering consultancy? Also, what types of internships would you recommend for structural engineering students?

[@Amir4457]

Hello Mat, i was wondering if you have any idea on what is the best laptop to use for structural engineer. I would really appreciate your response, thanks and keep posting this great videos!

Hey could you do a video on some basic knowledge for beginners and small things to know?

[@chieee6609]

Welp. I'm currently a third year student. I already finished taking up Mechanics of Materials but I feel like I didn't learn anything. The online class is ruining me. I can't focus on studying. We used to have group studies during face-to-face but now, I have to study on my own. So I ended up cheating on that subject on every opportunity there is. Well, on my defense, I didn't start cheating until after a month when I noticed that my classmates were just lax and copying answers from each other. I passed it with a 2.0 grade but I'm so disappointed with myself. How can I redeem myself? I'm trying to be optimistic abt this since this is the only subject I really cheated almost everything but I still don't know where to start. You know people don't change overnight. I still have that mentality to compare efforts with others but my inner anxiety is making my mind restless to make changes in me. I'm a competitive person and I get fueled by seeing other people work hard but due to pandemic, I don't feel any burning desire anymore.

[@airflare7285]

I feel you. Although I am just starting on my prereqs at the community college, I also have absolutely no motivation due to this online environment. My gpa has been about 2.5 for the past few semesters (GE).
