Thank you for your insight. You made me want to become a structural engineer.

Feel like I’d love to work for and learn from this lad. Seems like a great, well spoken man!

thank you for the insight, really learnt a lot.

As a Mechanical Engineer, I would say a big part of an Engineering job is adapting, communication and most importantly anticipation. Your Managers don't care about Finite Element analysis, rather if your design will make big sales or not. You are taught very little about anticipation in school so u need to adapt while on the job through communication...get it?!

Great advice and insights.🙂

Wow this is brilliant!

I’d also add to this there are many routes in to engineering. I’d say engineering maths is slightly easier than actual maths as you need to know the principles. What I would say is don’t let maths discourage you ‘if you don’t use it, you lose it’. There are some maths I did back at my uni days that’s I can’t remember, but once you go through a worked example it all comes back to you. If you have a passion for something and are willing to put the work in, it’ll pay off. Also engineering careers often mean you can work in many fields (I’m a mechanical engineer myself)… but the role is so versatile that you end up doing so many things and the way you approach problems is useful to many businesses even outside of engineering. As for the maths, don’t be discouraged. There are many mediums that explain things a lot simpler than my lecturers or text books ever did. I’d say a combination of lectures and work outside of lectures is what will make you successful. The irony is, that’s what makes engineering courses hard. As you have to put in a lot of work outside of lectures. But I assure you it’s worth it.

Many thanks for this video sir. Do you use more of design software for your structural analysis in your job? or are you required to show your workings by hand? Are you expected to be able to explain and derive all of those complex formulas in structural analysis before you were able to qualify during your postgraduate student work? I would just love to study structural engineering for my MSc but wonder if it may turn out to be too hard..

Hi Abdullah, in terms of average salary a structural engineer and estate agent are currently closely comparable to one another. A couple of things to bear in mind is that an agents base salary will be far lower as this industry is largely driven by sales and commission. So where the engineers salary is typically guaranteed an agents is dependant on their sales success. Whilst both careers have property in common the jobs themselves are very different (design and sales) so they would most likely attract different types of people. We’ll do our best to interview an agent in the near future. All the Best, CI team

I agree. 28 years into my career and you pick up a huge liability. Many people don't understand that when an engineer uses their seal it is both personally and corporately so all of your personal assets are exposed. In my experience in multifamily projects the realtors are taking an order of magnitude more fees per unit and they have 1/100000 of the risk. As much as I love engineering all I tell young people is you are a fool if you get into this career. A lawyers definition of "acceptable practice" is far far different than what a structural engineer thinks.

Hi, Being passionate about a career at 16 is brilliant! The main advice we would have for you at the minute is making sure you’re on top of your next steps i.e. Universities or Apprenticeships. A lot of students don’t look at the entry requirements for their chosen course or job. So if you have an idea on the university or potential company or companies you’d like to work for and they have apprenticeships have a look at what criteria they’re looking at for to make sure you’re on track. We’re just about to release an article about apprenticeships so give this a read to get you started. If you’re able to get any work experience, even if it’s just for a day, this will undoubtedly help you in the future. Even if companies aren’t advertising work experience there’s no harm in dropping them an email and then following up a couple of days later with a phone call. Hope this helps and keep up posted on your progress, CI Team

Get good at problem solving and visualization. People tend to say that structural engineers does a lot of math but actually it's like only 20% of the work if you're not in a strict analysis position. 80% is solving difficult problems regarding the design, that's why you need to be good at visualizing structures and shapes and how things interact with each other. Have a good relationship with computers, taking a programming course in Python will be a good merit. Keep in mind that you will learn more the first 6 months at a job than you will do during your entire school time. See the graduation as a proof of concept that you're good at learning things, don't get too down if you don't really remember much after you graduate. Literally no employer expects a newly graduated person to be good at the job. Keep in mind that you will have a lot of contact with other people so being able to communicate and creating relationships is a really good trait. The hours will be intermittently long so you have to be able to deal with some occasional stress. Working overtime will be expected to meet deadlines. You will always work on a budget so you have to be able to manage your time in a good way. I think it's literally the most fun job in the world so I hope you will make it. Good luck!

The problem is that how do you even get involed with structural engineering which is a very sensitive subject if you dont have the expierience?? The crysis hit this proffesion hard and now its very difficult to get epxierience for young engineers

Hi Sean, in our most recent video I talk about the construction industry typically being one of the most impacted industries in a recession so it could have a difficult period ahead but in the long term it’s a safe career choice. Salary wise it’s always been a relatively good industry. There’s a forthcoming video where I talk about salary and civil engineering falls under the type of job I discuss. Where it has a clear structure and career progression and it all depends where you want to stop. A lot of people are capable of senior positions but actually don’t want to take on the burden of managing people, etc. So salary has a lot to do with how far you want to go and the geographical location of where you want to work (i.e. London typically has higher wages than other UK cities).

Hi Shrawan, you’re definitely not alone in this thought process. Our biggest advice to solve this is to seek out work experience. Even one days work experience will put a lot of things into context for you. We’ve got a video coming out next week on job hunting strategy which is hugely applicable to also gaining work experience. My advice would be to write a list of 50 engineering practises (and their email addresses and phone number) in the local area (or as many as possible). Draft a brief email (a few paragraphs) introducing yourself, that you’re currently studying to become an engineer and extremely passionate and motivated to gain some work experience in the industry. Explain that you are flexible and able to work around their schedules and would love to discuss this more on the phone or face to face. Very broadly send the email on the Monday, make a follow up call on the Wednesday and ask to speak to the HR Manager (not all companies have one but it’s a good place to start) and explain that you sent an email in on Monday and explain the context of your email (your passionate looking for work experience, etc). Don’t assume they’ve read it. Any calls that are unanswered I would suggest writing a follow up email being polite saying you tried to make contact and would love the opportunity to discuss further & follow up again with a phone call a couple of days later too. Make sure not to harass or be too impatient to follow up with people which is why we’ve suggested following up every couple of days. Remember the success rate is likely to be low which is why I’ve suggested 50 companies at the beginning. Make sure you’re systematic in your approach otherwise you’ll likely give up very quickly. Try and turn any outright no’s into future opportunities. For instance people might not have any opportunities right now but ask if they think they’ll have any opportunities in the future. Really hope this helps, I think getting some context on your studies will really help. The video I’m talking about should be out next week (Thursday) give it a watch as I think it will put a lot of what I’ve said into context.

Hi Raju, I don’t have any ground breaking insights. In general whenever you want to make a major move, whether that’s a different career or different country you often have to go backwards to go forwards i.e. lower your expectations on the type of job, pay, etc. I don’t have an exact example of what this would be but brainstorming other construction jobs just to bridge the first gap of getting a job in the UAE is probably the first thing I would consider. My initial thoughts are try to secure a job in the UAE as closely relatable to a Structural Engineer as possible. It doesn’t have to be an engineering position but one related to the sector your daughter would like to pursue. That will then enhance her CV in the eyes of UAE companies and make it much easier for her to secure engineering interviews, etc. in the future. I also think at this particular moment in time with everything going on in the world it’s twice as hard as what it was 6 months ago. So perseverance is key. Hope this helps.
