Yes! I think you misspelled "Best Kind of Engineering" in the title though...
Practical Engineering omg you actually commented on this video my fangirl heart
There he is! Definitely expecting you in this thread.
Yes indeed
He's been commenting on all of these. Early too. I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that Grady hit the bell icon.
how do you know they misspelled the title of the next episode
Bob the Builder was the most famous civil engineer in recent history.
Are you even paying attention to the video this is not a cartoon its a learning channel?!
Uhm no, he was a constructor.
alexkid1 is that a joke he is a civil engineer
@@rosewhite370 Hehe I never saw a civil engineer actually doing labour as Bob did. Henceforth he is just a labourer/contractor.. Not an engineer.
@@EM-ih6lw Imagine not being able to take a joke lol
I recently graduated in Civil Engineering in fall of 2018. I am here to recap while I study for my Fundamental of Engineering exam. I really enjoyed the structure of this video. Using the island as a central example to investigate engineering throughout the ages was a brilliant idea. Thank you for the making of this video.
Hey I graduated same year in civil engineering
Let's hope the comments are civil :p
What you did there…
…I see it.
Fanny hair
That pun was poorly... designed...
WelshZeCorgi Ey! let's keep leveled heads!
I want to be an uncivil engineer .. buuuuuurp.
So will this help us play SimCity?
If you mean SimCity (2013), then, no. That involves fixing disaster of software engineering, not fixing a disaster of civil engineering.
Play cities skyline then it's basicaly simcity but better
I was able to beat SimCity once I completed my degree
Somehow this video makes me think of that kind of game too lol
I can't get over how beautiful and articulate this host is! 😍
I'm thinking of majoring in Civil! I always enjoyed SimCity and Cities: Skylines and drawing towns for HotWheels cars and playing with model railways!
Civil engineer here, Iam specialized in structural engineering. Iam very pleased and happy that crash course shed the light on our beloved profession, looking forwards for future episodes
A Environmental Engineering Crash Course would be very interesting.
alden jennings are jobs for Environmental engineering are in as high demand? (a genuine question here)
@@derranlawston4052 i second. Really want to know
M0_ Shy I’m thinking of being a civil engineer now , it’s more broad
@@derranlawston4052 Yes they are! The need for drinking water treatment, wastewater recycling, landfills, recycling efforts, air pollution reduction, and others are all increasing around the world. I'm a civil engineer but I definitely rely on environmental engineers to work along with me for many projects.
Rich Magee Thanks!
Civil engineering is the most mannered engineering.
True. Unlike *_most_* RUclips comments sections. ;)
I don't know, they do spend time with iron workers and roofers...
This is great!
I want to give a suggestion: what about a series about History of Mathematics? That would be awesome!
Architecture student here, we love u civil engineers !!!!
We love u too!!!!
Architecture and Civil Engineers are the same thing but Architecture dont build that match
@@BringerOfDeath12 .... No
I'd love a whole series on civil engineering!!
Civil engineering is the father of all engineering.
P.S a proud Civil (Water Resource) Engineer here
I think that the amount of licensing and professional ethics in civil engineering cannot be understated. Compared to other engineering fields, civil engineering is very stringent. Not mentioning these standards does young civil engineers a great disservice. Although civil may be one of the easier engineering curriculums, it’s probably the most involved after graduating college.
I love civil engineering and architecture. I hope to be a civil engineer in the future and this helped me a lot. Thank you very much 😃
*Please do aerospace/aeronautical engineering!*
*Please like so it gets to the top!*
Smeaton's Light house is still extant, it was moved to the mainland, and was built so well that it was almost too hard to move.... (it was the rocks under the foundation what were bad)
It's Nice idea That explaining by Building City Please Continue This Serious Thank you guys
Wish me luck first time going to college and I'm studying civil engineering. I'm an electro mechanic right now.
Flaming Basketball I definitely think so. I'm a train mechanic in a major city in the United States. You could definitely see the neglect and destitute of American infrastructure. Civil engineering, it's going to be a big field from here on out.
Oh and I forgot to say I'm 40 LOL
Flaming Basketball Club Yo I'm 17 and just started Computer engineering and I must say that this series is not being very informative
Flaming Basketball Club I understand that the scope of this series is very different than the course in my university just saying that not only I hope the series get deeper in the future, such as the anatomy one and that you don't see it as your only source. But looks like that the latter was already solved ;)
Kendrick o: also check out Thomas Frank and the MOOC “learning how to learn” so you can make the most of your study time.
A civil engineering student here. Gonna enjoy the video.
me too :)
Same here
Same :)
Ex-civil engineering student here :P
Feynstein 100 great. What field of work are you in?
I'm a girl and i'm not sure what course to get in college but I consider engineering but i don't know what to choose Civil,.Mechanical,Chemical and more
omg the solid foundation pun was so cute!
In this scenario, calculating fundamental possibilities is the first step. Smart people like you think... for everyone else. Thanks.
Does it bother anyone else that the new background for the engineering series has shelves that are racked and skewed?
Finally. I commented about it on the last video but didn't get any response. It's really ironic that the set for the science of stability contains something that's so unstable and aesthetically unpleasing.
I think it’s intentional💁🏻it’s not falling apart and it’s interesting to look at💁🏻 doesn’t really bother me🤷🏻♀️
+brid101286 Damn, if it's intentional then they're really sadistic 😂
I think it’s supposed to be decorative
Thats the first thing i noticed and i found it ironic lol
there honestly could not be a better time for this series! im going to start my first year in engineering in a couple of weeks and im really stoked! thank you
When people ask what I do for a living, I find it easier to gauge what they know of Sim City and work from there.
Professional Civil Engineer here; great video! I wish we learned more about the history of the profession in school, but I get it that there's just too much stuff to cover
Yeh that's true. Btw i'm unprofessional Civil Engineer :S
Professors should teach these history lessons in order to inspire their students, it's rather sad that these type of classes are not included in the curriculum. There should be at least optional courses focusing on the historical and cultural side of engineering. Although I've seen a course called "Culture and civilization" in the curriculum of the civil engineering faculty I want to attend, so who knows.
Very nice! But please in the future episodes do not forget Agricultural engineering. Its more important and complex than people are usually think and i think it deserves proper attention :)
One important question. When you talk about reactangular city plan dividing into parts for different usage, we need to consider the existence of Indus valley civilisation as well. They existed way before Greeks/Rome
Love the vid. One complaint.
"More"
Builds Pyramids.
Hmm... Maybe we should build a water supply now...
YOU MUST CONSTRUCT ADDITIONAL PYLONS.
SCV good to go Sir..ORDERS RECEIVED
@Verdatum they just don't knw xD
I'm actually studying urban design and development right now haha, she talks about the exact samethings I see in my book
AVE drums hope you can make the world be better tommorow
hanif raka Haha I hope so
*Make sure you plan for the massive upheaval that driverless vehicles will cause.*
*"What? We don't have to devote a quarter of our real estate to parking anymore?"*
There was a rumour going round that there is a Crash Course Analytical Science in the pipeline....
David please god let this rumour be true
Need a job?
I think it's crash course music.
David i
I couldn’t help but laugh at the thought of a lighthouse burning in the middle of the ocean. This episode was jam packed with info but it felt so short as well. Anyways great episode.
Make a video on Electronics and communication engineering (ECE)
Dear Santa Claus,
I want a Crash Course Geography hosted by Paul Barby (The Geography Now guy) on Christmas.
Can't wait for mechanical!
Rob House Video 3, probably
Yes
waiting for the electrical engineering videos, awesome work as always!
I'm so happy you guys are doing engineering now
Play Animal Crossing. Thats Civil Engineering.
Hi! I'm 16 rn and I'm thinking about studying civil engineering bc that's the only option that don't need u to be good at drawing, so my question is-is it worth it to do it and if so am i going to be making money when I graduate 😅?
R u going to talk re The Engineers & the Price System/Veblen? Just wondering.
Also wonder how engineers & what they do resemble magicians & what they do. Yeah.
TimeAndChance What? Also, yeah, sometimes it seems like magic to us, too.
Great video! Only wish if you involved other aspects of civil engineering such as a water, environmental, transportation and many other more.
Not everything falls under “Structural or Construction”
Where are my surveyors at?
AVE drums surveyor are geotechnical
As a mechanical engineering first year student I’m very excited for that episode! Very happy to see this new series
Please do environmental engineering as well!!! I am confused about whether I want it to be my minor in university.
But, I remembered ancient Indian civilization have a complete sewage system long before London.
She acknowledges that in the video when she says "some for of sanitation has been used since ancient times".
Ḡαღ♭ℓ℮ℳαḓм@η didn't notice that 😂 thanks for reminding.
It was called the Indus River Valley civilisation if you were interested.
In the ancient advanced city called mohenjodar Far more advance than wakanda.
Abhay Sharma hahaha wth 😂
To anyone wanting to go into this field, cannot stress this enough - score some sort of internship before enrolling to Uni - might save you tons of $$ as you might not enjoy the actual work, despite it sounding really interesting. Keep it civil guys, it's just my take on civil eng. :)
what is the actual work like? what does it entail?
There's countless different positions withing civil engineering, with very different kinds of environments. Of course at uni you choose a specialization that you like. For example i don't really like being on work sites at the mercy of the weather, so i'm a structural engineer, and i can just comfortably do math at the office. Built environment is a major slice of the entire economy, it entails thousands of different kinds of positions.
@@trollwitchdoctor I'm structural also, and I second what you said. If you like engineering school, you'll like the job, once you find the place that suits you best. If you use one internship as your picture of the industry, you risk missing out on a great career. After 19 years, I've worked in some great places and a few not so good. I love where I am now.
Did help me a little more about what major I can do (and sorry about my english, I am not fluent, but I study with videos like this, from clash course hehe :)
this episode is solid foundation for learning civil engineering lul
Zespheras did a video on the Eddystone lighthouse
Hey CrashCourse, could you do a video on Systems Engineering? I feel that field of engineering is the most misunderstood.
QuantumCEM Systems engineering isn't a specific field in my opinion, although many might disagree. From my aerospace background, systems engineering is a mindset, and we are taught that it's everyone's responsibility to be a systems engineer and constantly think about how changes to one part of the system changes all the other, and how it's "Systems all the way down", basically a system is composed of systems which is composed of systems, etc. But I definitely agree they should cover it.
I know...after spending 6 years pursuing a BASc in Systems Engineering (that's verbatim on my degree). I still struggle expressing what exactly my degree is :p The pain of an ambiguous degree title in a field that prioritizes specificity. Thanks for the reply though.
I spent 7 years as a Software Engineer before I finally got someone to explain to me what Systems Engineers do. There's seriously something messed up about communicating the message in that field.
You need to get a real engineering degree boys, aka civil engineering ;) no confusions there, most of the time.
I am a graduate of Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering.
Edit: You have broadly defined 'structural engineering' as focusing more on the design and framework of structures. You have mentioned about Portland cement or cement itself. But what is missing in your discussion of civil engineering is the invention of REINFORCE concrete. Steel bars or steel itself is an integral part of structural engineering.
no its not
@Sofia Anastasia Aaltonen good for you
These videos don't really get into how it's done. They're focusing broadly on what is done.
While engineering isn’t really my thing I still find this educational and interesting
My friend just graduated with a degree in civil engineering.
Eric The Nole me too lol
this series is amazing!!!
Sewage=compost. Farms like compost.
Zoning increases the distance needed to travel between different functions, which inturn means you need faster, higher capacity roads
Sewage is not compost. Sewage contains toxic chemicals and human waste, which are not good for plants.
Arduino Guy Projects and More! However, sewage can become biosolids, which is spread on fields.
Watch Extra Credits videos on Jon Snow.
Human waste contains germs from human bodies that could reinfect human bodies.
Yeah, don't grow root vegetables that aren't going to be cooked in raw feces. Thanks for that brilliant insight.
Tyler Peterson there is a Vice documentary on what NYC does with it's sewage, they weren't actually able to get straight answers but it looked like that ultimately they where composting it.
As a civil engineer i can say we are most hardworking and enduring one.
Thank you so much for all your videos! - I'd definitely fail all my exams without them!
civil engineer..great video
That pun at the end.
.......this video makes me want to play Civilisation again
CIV5 > CIV6
I’m a 16 years old high school student. I want to study civil engineering when I got to university and I wanted ur guys opinion. My grades are all (5 where I come from) besides in one subject and that subject is math 🙄 But I understand math quickly though. Do you all suggest that I should study civil engineering?
whos here cuz of mr post?
So the series will be covering some engineering basics from different fields later on right? Simple lessons on things such as how combustion engines work, reading blueprints, the physics of different structural designs like bridges and building frames, and land surveying?
Yes! We're starting out with a general historical overview, but we'll be getting into application in a few weeks.
Awesome. I needed a refresher.
you forgot how Shrek uses tree bark as a door
I'd like to suggest a crash course economic history :)
Anyone who is interested in the Eddystone lighthouses should watch Zephyrus's video on the topic. it's fantastic
can there be a crash course on international affairs or something?
I’m majoring in Mechanical Engineering!
Me too.
Me three
Is it extremely hard?
I really can't say for sure because I haven't been through the hard part yet. I recently finished my first year with an overall A. The first year really isn't hard. I'm more worried about the second year. I've heard that it's 10 times worse. Missing even a day of lecture takes a week to recover. The assignments take much more time than the ones in first year.
But to be honest all branches of engineering are hard. Some are more harder than others. I'd say when it comes to difficulty.
Chemical engineering > Aerospace engineering > Mechanical Engineering > Electrical and electronic Engineering > civil Engineering
@@muhammadabubakr720 I feel like engineering isn't for me I would rather build the creations than make them. I just got into it cause of the pay but see that it's wont be worth it if i just want it cause of the money
Question:
If you go to college to become an engineer, do you get this type of history lesson regarding engineers and techniques from the past?
No, not unless you have a particular teacher who wants to tell a story. But it's not part of the curriculum. That's up to you to be interested in your own field.
Professors should teach these history lessons in order to inspire their students, it's rather sad that these type of classes are not included in the curriculum. There should be at least optional courses focusing on the historical and cultural side of engineering. Although I've seen a course called "Culture and civilization" in the curriculum of the civil engineering faculty I want to attend, so who knows.
Watching at the gym then suddenly vehicle motion alarm out of nowhere at the end of the video... I seriously looked over my right shoulder to see if a truck was about to run me over. 😅
I think it's high time civil engineers went bigger. Like instead of planning just cities, they should start planning countries, continents, planets, solar systems, galaxies, universes, multiverses......(beep)........ level GOD reached
And so the history of our island is written, as always, without mentioning the people, that build the structures :D
Thanks
Sa mga pinoy jan, bisita nmn kayo sa channel ko, naguupload ako ng mga videos related sa CE subjects, Godbless 😊
This is gonna be a brilliant series
Will you cover clinical engineering? I'd love an episode dedicated to my field of work! PS, I have a mad crush on you.
Remi Robichaud What the devil is clinical engineering? Designing clinics? Designing clinical studies?
Wynton Goulding designing and maintaining medical equipment. MRI, Hemodialysis, Incubators, IV pumps, Ultrasound, etc. All designed by Clinical Engineers
Remi Robichaud Sounds like Biomedical Engineering to me. I don't know where you live, but I live in the US, and I've only ever heard of biomedical engineering.
Wynton Goulding I'm in Canada. We call it both over here.
Siege I'd love to help you, but I'm merely a technologist in the field. I work directly with the nurses in the hospital and maintain the medical equipment. In my case, I work with Dialysis machines. The things the Engineers is beyond me
where does civil engineering stop and urban planning start??
Hey i'am a civil engineer
Love this Video....... Proud Civil Engineer....
You get to work in my island, but Tropico's presidency is mine. I am el Presidente!
Its weird that u r talking about Greek philosophers but
Don't know about Indian engineers who build the city of mohenjodaro about 2000 BCE.
that shelf in the background bothers me quite a bit
Who ever city planned Pittsburgh needs to watch this video
Dr. Shini hasn't explained why an uninhabited island needs a city. The island was doing just fine before the engineers showed up.
Great video.
Where were those Geotechnical Engineers you're talking about when someone decided to build Chicago on a swamp? I mean, nowadays, Chicago is mostly built on more Chicago.
Anyone can build a bridge that stands, but only engineers can build ones that barely stand.
Thank you
I have that same green engineering book
So... Your saying hipodomis(spelling?) Was a hippy?
She is the most beautiful woman on the planet!!! Speak Tech to meh~
WHY THIS VID NO BODY LIKES LIFE
suck
Civil engineers hate when I say this, but it is a sub branch of mechanical engineering. Every engineering branch is derived from either electrical engineering or mechanical, with a touch of either geology knowledge or biology, or both.
Why is she making weird faces???
just finding out about this channel and loving it. I love how amused she was about that SOLID FOUNDATION pun. @7:50 it really be the little things
You should do a video on flood engineering (sorry I don’t know the actual name) when I grow up I want to become one
In the US, the Army Corps of Engineers handles much of that type work.
Please do on Architect.. thankX 👍🏼 nice vids
