This is honestly one of the best/grounded videos I’ve found for civil engineering on RUclips. Thank you for giving genuine examples of the job and not just “You’ll make a bajiollion dollars and take these classes!”
I am switching my major from Nursing to Civil Engineering, it is something I wanted to go into, and learn more about! I am a first year student, so I'm still figuring out what I want to do, engineering has been on top of my list since I was a kid. Thanks for this video! Subscribed.
Good stuff man. This was really good insight. I’m a field engineer now. I have been putting a lot of thought into really going to school to become a civil engineer.
I'm interested in architecture and while this video may not be as relevant to me it is interesting learning about how architects, design engineers, and construction engineers collaborate! Your videos have taught me so much about the construction industry--thank you!!
To my opinion, this video is the most clearer one in differentiating between Construction Engineering, Design Engineering, and Even Architecture Engineering.
If we'd be honest, Civil Engineering gives expression to the core imaginative and creative dimensions of man and also balance the need of humanity at the same time. I love Civil Engineering
work life balance seems so bad tho. im looking into CE as a degree but just came out of a stressful career kinda like it. is part time do able or work from home half the time?
can a civil engineer design buildings in any way ,because i love designing buildings i believe i'm really creative with it but if my high school grades prevent me of studying architecture should i go for the civil engineering, are they allowed to design just like the architects job ?
"Yes, civil engineers can design buildings, but their focus is primarily on the structural integrity and functionality of the building rather than the aesthetics, which is the main focus of architects. If you have a passion for designing buildings and creativity, civil engineering could still be a great fit. However, keep in mind that architecture and civil engineering are distinct fields, with architects focusing more on the creative design and civil engineers ensuring the structure is safe and functional. Both professions often collaborate closely on projects. I teach Civil engineering even on my youtube channel. This is what I have build passion around and I am fulfilled doing so.
thanks Brodie. I'm in my second year, and it is hard work. physics got me in a rut, math skills could be a bit more polished, and I need to get it together. thank you.
Mad hours!!! That is exactly why I chose to be a designer instead of a construction engineer. I don’t know how you guys can work so many hours and and still enjoy your personal interests.
work life balance seems so bad . im looking into CE as a degree but just came out of a stressful career kinda like it. is part time do able or work from home half the time? waht do you mean by designer. i think we think alike on the hours for engineer. to go to school and suffer through all that to work like some dog our at in traffic and office....
I am Geotechnical Engineer.... you know, the other exciting part of Civil Engineering,, just that we play with the soil and rock,,, Yeeeeeeeeeeeeey... Great vid
Hi 👋 I’m a final year civil engineering student in China 👩🏾🎓 and I’m here thinking what to do next😩 well I plan to do some internship after my grad 🥂 thanks for this video
This has always been my dream ever since I was born. I would like to go for the site construction engineer because I really love the field work. Sound so cool and interesting
"reinforcing for the column is 6" in the wrong spot" .....hmm..... that sounds familiar. Great video! I'm going to send this to people when they ask me what I do for a living
I've learnt a lot from this thank you. I have a question: I'm currently in 11th grade and I really aspire to understand the career just as much as you do. Does going to university mean I'll gain all this understanding you have?
Im really confused on what to choose as my specialisation. On one hand most subject in the university are about the design part i feel it would be a waste to study so much just to ignore it. On the other hand construction sounds really cool
If you decide to to a civ eng major at uni please makes sure you understand physics as well as math. In high school I didn’t take physics too seriously cause i thought physics is a type of math and math was the most important. Not true at all. I’m in my final year with a bachelor of civil engineering and it really was a struggle. I failed some classes where I had to repeat all of them. It’s important you understand the concepts and not just do practice questions but doing both.
Woow well explained I really enjoyed this video. Lol if I was to pick engineering the info you dished out would have allowed me to make decisions very well
As a Brit, the on-site days are the ones I'm looking forward to least, since my expectation is that they will involve standing out in the pissing rain and freezing wind, while trying pathetically to keep your hands warm and dextrous enough to use your equipment, which you have to try to keep dry and free of mud. Just like trying to do anything else vaguely nice when out in the countryside.
In your video when you mention Design Engineer, is that the same as Civil Engineer? At University of Houston, there are 2 different majors Civil Engineer and Construction Engineer, there are no Design Engineer. Thanks
Hi there, i'm studying civil for a year and a half now and this last three months i've been learning about cement and i find it out so boring and it makes me doubt my decision about chooshing civil (although i've always liked courses like statics or designing sth) but i don't know me feeling about cements which is kindda the most important thing in our degree is an alert that i'm in a wrong place or not. I'd be glad to know your opinion
hey im looking to have a better work life balance and 6 to 5 with traffic everyday isnt it, but i want to do engineering is there part times or work from home. i left the military to not be a workaholic and focus on the good stuff. is there hope or should i look at other degrees im really far into researching CE and like it.
can a civil engineer design buildings in any way ,because i love designing buildings i believe i'm really creative with it but if my high school grades prevent me of studying architecture should i go for the civil engineering, are they allowed to design just like the architects job ?
It isn't really, are you willing to continually learn? Do you actually like the day in day out of the other work? An internship answers that question. Lastly are depending on how far you are, are you financially stable overall
To become a construction site engineer, which degree is better, a civil engineering degree or a construction engineering degree or a construction management degree?? Also what’s the difference between a construction site engineer and a construction manager??
Any one of those degrees are fine. CE and CM are likely more focused and applicable to the industry, civil engineering gives you more options to go into design if construction ends up being not for you. The site engineer will likely be part of the project, in the details, directly affecting the job, while a CM is more of an oversight of the contractor of the job; you wont necessarily know exactly how things are going to get done, but you’ll have a general idea of what the contractor should be doing.
I already got my AA Degree and have to work on my Bachelor Degree on Summer 2021 . I’ve been trying to get some experience but the job application says needs Bachelor’s Degree but don’t have yet and the term intern or entry level for me is someone who wants to try out a field but the application jobs is like “ Oh no you need Bachelors Degree” if you know anything please let me know so I can start at least so I get experience.THANKS
civil engineering is so ✨exciting and exotic✨

I'm having an existential crisis and then my mind wandered to what does it feel like to be an actual civil engineer.
Not sure how you are doing now. However, existential crisis are no joke. Have you ever heard of the Gospel of Jesus Christ?
Not sure how you are doing brotha! But you are worthy of belonging! Check out Dr. browns talk on vulnerability.

what was with the nursing that made you change your major
@@firas_abed doesn’t always have to do with the nursing maybe they just had more interest in civil engineering
how was the switch so far?
You are not alone...
lol
Good stuff man. This was really good insight. I’m a field engineer now. I have been putting a lot of thought into really going to school to become a civil engineer.
Your field knowledge will get you far! Good for you Karol!

I studied electrical engineering but civil engineering is so fascinating. I wanna learn more just for the same of learning.
I’m in high school right now and I’m still deciding on what I want to do, this video helped a lot 💯

I'm a civil engineer and i don't recommend it at all
( Sunburn / dirty / unstable Sites...)
Construction engineering sounds awesome! I think I'll do that
Interesting!, do you guys do a lot of physical work or is it mostly desk work?
Im really confused on what to choose as my specialisation. On one hand most subject in the university are about the design part i feel it would be a waste to study so much just to ignore it. On the other hand construction sounds really cool
You are an Amazing Mentor Kienen 😊
I am sooo stuck between architecture and civil engineering
Your attitude and videos are amazing
Wow!!! It sounds like a lot of work... but you really make it sound so exciting!!!! 🤩🤩
haha I do love it!
I am a mechanical engineering student watching what do civil engineers do :D
Thank you you did help me with my project 🎉

Nice video , really love it , and it was also helpful.
Interesting. I am starting with my civil engineering internship tomorrow, so I am hoping for the best.
Best of luck!
How is it going so far?
Great video. Thanks a lot man
Where did the poop go? Pipes! That were civilly engineered.
Keep dropping wisdom bombs!

I'm fourth year civil engineering student. Sir, what should i be focused on and what points should i know in detail?
Engineering all the way❤ may God help us
Here is my question...
You studied so hard right? So do you actually remember what you've studied?
Do you think someone with social anxiety and lack of social skills would hurt you in this job?
i think it would for any job
but engineers work with other people like architects and other engineers right ?
The video was awesome but I’ll like to ask u what are basic things u need to know in a journey of trying to take up a civil engineering as a career
You’re so cute and funny, Engr! You really made my day. I’m glad I clicked on your video. Liked, subscribed, and turned on the notification bell. :)
Thanks so much!
"Where does the poop go?"
"Into pipes, that were, CIVILLY ENGINEERED"
I'm dead xdd

Great stuff currently in a graduate position and in construction engineering is exactly how it is at the moment
Good to hear!
I've been thinking about going to school but I'm very nervous about it because I haven't been to school in a while.

Understood. I would try to get an internship first in a field youre interested in. Working the job is so much different than the classroom.
Someday I'll be one of them.

Thank you for this video.
I wanted to ask that is Civil engineering technology (civil technician) same as constructional engineer ? ?
can a civil engineer design buildings in any way ,because i love designing buildings i believe i'm really creative with it but if my high school grades prevent me of studying architecture should i go for the civil engineering, are they allowed to design just like the architects job ?
Can I please know if there are real tough problems that engineers face
great video!
Is there a path that that is 50/50 ( design/contruction) ? Or is it one or the other.
Is it difficult for a construction engineer to switch to the design side of things or vice versa? Still not sure which I would prefer more.
It isn't really, are you willing to continually learn? Do you actually like the day in day out of the other work? An internship answers that question. Lastly are depending on how far you are, are you financially stable overall
Love how this video was funny
So would it be the design engieer designs and the comstruction engineer makes sure everything sorta going to plan

I'm a bsc civil engineering undergraduate in my final year. What about working in Japan as a civil engineer?
if it fits your lifestyle needs I dont see why not. Don't know much about working there though.
So what do you reckon is more technical the design engineer or the site construction engineers
Do you get much time to yourself
