I became a chartered structural engineer in 1988 so nice to be reminded of those fun days designing stuff. Nowadays I am nearly retired and last 10 years doing more project management roles means you almost forget how to do design. If I could do it all again though, I would.

Great video! Loved all the funny but informative descriptions of your work day.

I appreciate the way you engage with the modal response of the building, @ 6:17 but the only difference I noticed is that your structure seems to exhibit the 1st or 2nd modal responses, while your dance showcases higher modal responses.

If you watch closely, you'll see I actually used both of these softwares :) In general, as a simplified answer - SAP2000 is more customizable, for connections, complex geometries, etc, while ETABS is a bit more robust for whole-structure analysis. Both are useful and fun to play with. There is tons of info about both softwares on the web if you're looking to find out more!

In Canada, we use the National Building Code of Canada to determine loads and typical residential construction information (available for free download online).

I'm not an expert, but from my experience I would say that SAP2000, ETABS and SAFE are helpful. Even if your company uses different software, the principles are generally the same. I can't really speak to what industry is looking for, but I found that the most BENEFICIAL skills for me were communication skills (lots of communicating while you're getting trained!!), a well rounded technical background, and critical thinking skills. Good luck :)

Honestly it varies widely; I wouldn't be able to give you an accurate answer. Depends on your location & type of structural engineering. When I was job hunting I found it helpful to look at the posted salaries on job board web sites. Engineering associations will also commission salary surveys. For example, the Ontario Society of Professional Engineers (OSPE) has a National Engineering Compensation Survey on its website ospe.on.ca. It gives a broad range of salaries across engineering disciplines and practice levels. Good luck :)
