The most important skills all engineers should learn

[@noahnorberg575]

Many Thanks, Mr Hasty; I Wish I had you as a mentor in Sweden; you are a role model in humility and teaching!

[@BrendanHasty]

Hi Noah, thanks for watching. Hope my videos help you with your engineering journey. Mentoring through youtube.

[@johndevitt2164]

the most important thing after 25 years in Engineering is to never ever ever get involved in this career, without anyone else ever having to reinvent the wheel, stay away. The hours, the study, the terrible conditions, no one should ever waste their life like this. My salary is the same as it was 22 years ago, there are no prospects whatsoever.

[@BrendanHasty]

Hi John, sounds like you need to find a new direction. Wish you luck on finding your next journey.

[@TheunsGideonJudeel]

Great video Brendan. We tend to focus so much on the technical skills that we neglect other important (if not more important) skills such as communication, resilience, being a team player, etc. These "soft" skills do wonders for your career!

[@BrendanHasty]

Hi Thuens thanks for the continued support. agree these are skill we overlook but are some of the most important skills we have in our career.

[@sheraznabbie8235]

​@@BrendanHasty hi I am the opposite. I have a lot of soft skills but barely any technical skills. I am a mechanical engineer and I have a huge work ethic but I have not had a great opportunity to progress in mechanical engineering. Is there anyway I can develop these technical skills? I am looking for a mentorship even if I have to do the work for free. Can you share any advice?

[@francescos7361]

Thanks I agree , as engineer and urbanist .

00:03 Engineering requires diverse skills beyond technical knowledge. 01:11 Engineers must develop leadership and resilience skills for success. 02:18 Resilience, attention to detail, and analytical skills are essential for engineers. 03:24 Engineers need strong analytical, problem-solving, and creativity skills. 04:31 Creativity and continuous learning are essential for successful engineers. 05:43 Engineers should embrace continuous learning and challenge their beliefs. 06:55 Effective communication and teamwork are essential engineering skills. 07:57 Effective communication is essential for engineers to convey ideas clearly.

Amazing work Brendan, as a young engineer this is pure gold!

Hi Tonio, glad that you enjoyed it. Thanks for the continued support.

From where you're at today, how long do you think it took you to get here? Could you tell your journey in uni and out of uni? How long did it take you to recognize all of these points from when you first graduate? I'm an engineering student, and I can't help but to forget at least a few things here and there every year. No way would I be knowledgeable enough to teach people anything. For you personally, how much knowledge did you retain after graduating? Were you an outstanding student?...or maybe I'm just worrying too much and its fine to not know everything. Whats the key factor that help solidify your knowledge in the field? work? endless studying day and night?

[@humpback5890]

sorry for the long question

[@BrendanHasty]

Hi thanks for the support. I have a video on mu journey kzbin.info/www/bejne/b6nIhJ5_qZVoma8 . After uni you have only started your journey still so much to learn, at uni you have only scratch the surface of what you need to know. Some of these points took a long time to realise.

[@BrendanHasty]

Engineering is such a broad topic, so it is common to feel you have so much to learn. You just need to keep studying and over time you will realise you know more then you think.

[@wizamusinga716]

This is excellent engineer Brendan! I am just starting out in the industry and honestly you've helped me in many ways than one !. Thanks so much

[@BrendanHasty]

Hi Wiza musinga glad that I can help. And thanks for the support.

What about empathy and intuition

Thanks Brendan. I really appreciate your efforts.

Hi Abu, hope it helps now. Thanks for watching.

Hi thanks for the support.

[@محمدالعجيري-ر5م]

You haven't learned anything more than just the scratch, dam bro this sentence is following me even out of College, making me feel i'm almost graduating out of nothing

[@BrendanHasty]

Having a 'life-long learning' attitude is beneficial to all engineers or everyone. Thanks for watching!

[@mohibquadri4053]

So Informative ! Brendan could u tell me how to cover a career gap of 3 last years where i had not joined any company after completing internship ? Did some certifications online & helped my family at home..is it enough to say in interview or should i mention some other thing.. Also i would love to know about some new career development books which are ur favourites to tackle unemployment & lesser growth in company ..

[@BrendanHasty]

Hi Mohid, look for smaller companies and graduates or interneeship positions. You can move to full time employment from a internship or a site position. Keep studying and good luck.

[@mandakhg6568]

uni's curriculum is based on 19th century and fees are skyrocketting ,irrespective to their academic cost . I do not want to get college admins richer. Personally, I would go to trades (vocational schools) first and then learn academic stuff by my own.

[@BrendanHasty]

Each to there own really just do something you would love. What field are you in M X, also thanks for the support.

[@jurgschupbach3059]

Administration und Formulare

[@BrendanHasty]

Thanks for watching. Soft skills are very important.

[@ranjodhboparai6693]

Hi brendan. Can i get you contact. As i need to gain some knowledge in related field. Do you do any online classes ? Thanks

[@BrendanHasty]

What types of online classes are you after? You can be my patron or YT member to be added to my private FB group.

[@rabinsonrai2905]

Hello,Brendan. Is it possible for a foreign civil engineering to apply for a minimum wage freelancing job in your firm? Or, is it difficult to get the idea of whole project if I am not there physically? Is there a possibility to outsource the structural engineering job?

[@BrendanHasty]

Hi boing there isn't a freelancing role, wsp does have offices in most countries

[@CEGuide]

Great

[@BrendanHasty]

Thanks for the support Channa.

[@qureshisiddig9274]

Hey Branden many thanks Which resources you suggest to find lessons for python related to structural engineering applications

[@BrendanHasty]

Hi Qureshi, I will have a look on Skillshare and let you know other then that I have a video python you can find additional resources.
