Unlock 200+ Years of Structural Engineering Secrets in under 30 minutes!

During my visit to the IStrutE headquarters, I had the privilege of conversing with some of the most knowledgeable structural engineers in the world. With a collective experience of more than 200 years, they imparted invaluable advice that can change your career trajectory.
We discussed
- Why you should be A Structural Engineer
- The future of engineering.
- What are the mistakes that most engineers make,
- The Career advice we never had
- What we wish we had known earlier about structural engineering.

Great video Brendan, we need more interviews like this where engineers giving their experiences and the choices made. In addition, it's a reminder of the love for what we do as engineers.

[@BrendanHasty]

Glad you enjoyed it I will be trying to get more interviews I enjoy doing them. Thanks for the support.

[@shishirdhawade2613]

Risky job. Less paid.I think struct engg deserve less.many starve

[@julianlineham]

Fantastic set of interviews, Brendan, it would be great to get this in front of lots of middle and high school students somehow. This is very useful for undergraduates and also graduates early in their careers.

[@takundatapfuma773]

Great video Brendan, this channel has grown into something to be proud of.

[@BrendanHasty]

Thanks Takunda, thanks for the support

[@njabulozimba5712]

Marelize is my chair for Southern Regional Group. So proud of her. Great engineer. Video was very informative. Great work Brendan.

[@BrendanHasty]

She was great to interview, glad that you enjoyed

[@jeff2tc99]

Great video Brendan. Prof Dans closing words are important. The most concerning trait in graduate engineers, I’ve found, is perfectionism. They believe what the models tell them, they have an stoic faith in their ability. All great engineers carry secrets of failures that they won’t share, but that forms the foundation of experience. This is why AI can never replace good designers, only conservative safe ones. I was told that everyone makes errors, even the best. A checkers job is to find those errors which are invisible to the designers. Knowing that changed my perspective and allows me to keep my secrets, which didn’t see the light of day. ( of course, there are always they ones that got away.)

We need more of that, love your channel.

[@BrendanHasty]

Will have more coming glad you enjoyed it.

[@DeepakKrishna11]

Very insightful information and thoughts from some of the very best minds. Thanks Brendan.

[@BrendanHasty]

Hi Deepak, glad that you enjoyed and thanks for the support

[@TheunsGideonJudeel]

Great video! One of the best things to do as engineers, especially young ones, are to collaborate and learn from others. Having been involved with the IStructE South African committee, there’s great value in this institution!

[@BrendanHasty]

That's so true mate! It was an honor to meet the South African Chair Marelize, she's so passionate about structural engineering.

[@shishirdhawade2613]

[@ekkycecil3836]

Thank you so much for this. Very interesting and informative. As a younger engineer this gives me more drive and resolve to keep learning.

[@BrendanHasty]

Glad that it has encouraged you to keep going, engineering it a great career

[@ernestochristianmoralesp.3114]

Thank you very much for this excellent video👏, although it would be interesting to make a video exclusively of the lessons they have learned.

[@BrendanHasty]

Thanks for the suggestion and the support

[@danielwhite5705]

Good to be a structural engineer

[@AlejandroLopez-lx2ug]

Great video and great chanel!!

[@BrendanHasty]

Thanks for stopping by!

[@DR-ge8hp]

I'm about to complete a 2 yr. degree in design and drafting. This video is super neat for someone at my level.

[@BrendanHasty]

Glad that you found it helpful, good luck for your graduation

[@kelvingitonga9019]

Amazing insights

The era of modern structural engineering; the use of computer modeling, advanced technology, and composite materials etc. for safer strength and cost (from 25 years ago and revolutionary changes in the last ten years and now)

[@clintonchijioke330]

Thanks

[@BrendanHasty]

Thanks for the support

[@ragsdev]

What softwares are currently in uae for building and Bridge designs ?

[@dmarq412]

Navid! What a small world.

[@BrendanHasty]

It is a small world

[@aaronfolk2814]

Funny how every video on engineering has the same run around answers when the question about income comes up... "don't worry about it right now", "you gotta put your time in", "its not about the money, its about helping humanity". Glad if that works for some people, but I wish I would have known this before I had invested the money and time into this job.

[@romliahmadabdulnadzir1607]

Today, computer technology and modern software, automation, BIM modeling, and advanced structural analysis and design methods have catapulted structural engineering to its modern age with new potentials and possibilities. Any structural modeling and advance dynamic or interaction problem can be solved. By using computer modeling, advanced mathematical models such as finite element methods, we can design almost anything. Some iconic and famous buildings in this age are the “One World Trade Center” in New York (2013), Tokyo Skytree steel telecommunication tower (2011), Swiss Re (The Gherkin) Building in the U.K. (2003), Burj Khalifa in Dubai (the world tallest building) (2010), and the world tallest wood building with 18 stories in the University of British Columbia (2016),

Wonderful video…!

Risky job. Less paid.I think struct engg deserve less.

[@erikmeyer2323]

"...You can get into a situation where it is possible to overengineer the wrong solution ..." That just about sums up human nature in one short sentence. Who said Engineers are all didactic materialists?

[@BrendanHasty]

It is easy to over engineer, and only after looking back do you realise

[@stevenniedziela2698]

The video screen misspelled the word Engineers as Enginners. Please fix that.

[@BrendanHasty]

Thanks for finding the miss spelling unfortunately it can not be fixed after the fact.

[@SafeTrucking]

I quite like "enginners" as an alternative spelling/conceptual framework :). Maybe more suited to mechanical practitioners...

[@chandreshmalewar3022]

Is there any way...to teach us while showing every single details of your whole work how. To start a project with baisc to completion of that project....how to excess every single thing...while designing..... becouse no one explain things ...its becoming tough to actually know how to work

[@BrendanHasty]

I've wanted to create a course to explain the details, which might not suit the KZbin form. Hopefully I can get it down by the second half of the year, just been caught up with work lately.

Common Mistakes in Structural Design Ignoring Technological Assistance. Structural design requires precision, especially in complex structural projects. ... Limiting Structure. ... Calculating Actual Measurements. ... Underestimating Structural Movements.
