We had 2 architect teachers who taught us different BIM-softwares, aswell as our laws, standards and regulations for constructional drawings for our country. We had 1 exam in Autocad first semester, then an exam in Revit the semester thereafter. We keep using BIM software in other courses throughout our bachelor, such as in constructional projects, constructional physics and LCA(Life Cycle Analysis) where we import data from our buildings on Revit to Oneclick LCA to calc the CO2 emissions and other type of pollution from our projects.
I’m an ironworker, a steel erector. I don’t know a thing about engineering but I know a lot about structural drawings and the process of erecting a steel building. The amount of times I’ve thought “well how the hell do they expect me to do that?” When looking at a set of drawings is amazing. However that’s what really gets me going, it’s truly a very rewarding challenge. That being said if you can, watch people build stuff knowing the process will make your designs that much better. You’ll be amazed by the wealth of human ingenuity to be found on a job site. That being said keep the challenges coming, otherwise I’ll get bored.
I found this video extremely useful as a student still at uni. I used to be confused by all the content I learned (geomechanics, solid mechanics, structural design, concrete design, etc.,) and what are they capable of. Now I figured out with this road map. Huge credit to the creator!!
Your knowledge and expertise in structural engineering is phenomenal. Great work! Very exciting video too.
Thanks for this video. Watching from a very cold and windy Cape town. I've moved from civil Eng to structural engineering 3 months ago and agree with everything you say. Compared to civil Eng, structural has a much deeper level of detail. It did become overwhelming when I started off but now I just enjoy learning new things every day.
I will be graduating in June. And i did two internships, one with a small company , then with a big company. I genuinely feel like i learnt more at the small unknown company, but i also got responsibilities i wasn't ready for, mostly management stuff. At the big company i felt lost, also as an intern i wasn't allowed into 60% of the meetings. I felt like a spectators. Your tips are really helpful , thank you very much. They have provided me with a nice guideline as i wait for graduation and with no current prospects
Interesting. Over here (Portugal) we first learn Concrete design and steel usually not far off, when you follow structural branch into the masters, they you'll have laminar elements concrete and prestressed concrete. A lot more challenging than steel in my opinion.
Lets remember that we were also doing so many other papers along the semester and degree. Transport, fluids, Geotech, etc. Man, i definitely wish i could have studied it differently
Thanks for the advice. I'm currently trying to transition from an architecture to a structural engineering major.
Yes. Working on my SE at 53.
finally i found a civil engineer youtuber
Thanks for sharing the great insights.
Aerostructures eng here. Just a random thought while watching the beginning of your video: one thing about energetic principles and annexed complex calc involved...I think we should just learn those things as a physical explanation of how redundant loads work out in terms of increasing and the correspective deformation... That is as practical as it gets. Too maby calcs tend to overshadow physiscs when you're at Uni
Thank you🥰🫡
Thank you so much, very insightful
A more in depth video about personal projects would be great!
the video is very educative am a 3rd year in civil eng and it has helped me àlot
very good video extremly simple and to the point
Ofc an engineer would make this vid as he’s an analyst above all things! (I am too an analyst above all, and have made these sort of vids in my mind & on paper for the last 40 yrs!)
