In my 48 year career as an architect and architectural firm owner, I've only had one structural engineer call me up to request an appointment so that he could share his capabilities and demonstrate how he could best serve my clients and coordinate his services with our firm's overall design direction. Needless to say we retained his extremely exemplary services. I've always wondered why other engineers do not call upon architects for a sources of work.

Hi John, I am not sure I know we regularly keep in contact with architects. This is where our primary work comes from.

My Junior period mistakes, trying to be precise. As a student i have always liked to do everything perfectly and precision was one of them. It took me a lot of time to understand that in Engineering specially Civil Eng. "precision doesn't exist". Safe along with economic and optimized design are what make a good structural engineer. May all you build last centuries.

This may sound like an oversimplification, but I think that it's always better to overbuild than under build. Great video! Thanks for sharing.

It would be better to design to the code limits, but agree if it was a choices bettween over or under design, it is better to overdesign.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and ideas. I'm in my fifth year of my structural engineer career. And now I'm heading from my job as a precast concrete Engineer to becoming an consultant at a consultant company in Sweden. It's a bit scary because I'm taking a big step in responsibility. But still really excited to learn more about structural engineering. Cheers 😊

Hey Brendan, Great and informative video. In your opinion what is job satisfaction as a structural engineer and what is work/family balance like? Are there personality types that are better suited for the profession? Thank you!

@BrendanHasty

Hi Jenelle, Thanks for watching. For a structural engineering you need to enjoy solving problems, Math and physics from this you can get good job satisfaction with the right company. As for work/life balance that is something you need to manage as there will be always something that need to be done, and when passionate about engineering you can end up working a lot. Engineering is good for a range of personalities as there is a several areas your career can take you, watch this video kzread.info/dash/bejne/p4Kpwc2Do87TZJc.html for clarification, to enjoy engineering tho you need to like maths and problem solving. Any topics you want me to cover let me know.

Hi Hassan, It is Important to know how to design/assess it by hand. As if you inputs the analysis incorrectly into the software you need a way to assess if you are correct or not. Software is import to know as well I have this video kzread.info/dash/bejne/lWirz5tvmK-5csY.html on the software that i reccomend
