I'll be graduating with my bachelor's in Civil engineering next month and while most people have this notion that civil is a relatively easy major compared to some other engineering fields such as aerospace and electrical etc so the job would be easy too. They fail to realise how tough the job can get given the high stakes. It's a serious profession....you take things lightly and tragedies like this can happen.
I'm still a first year, just barely started on Integration, but as I study and learn more about the math and science behind the designing, it blows my mind how much planning went into building a structure. When I did my first structural detailing, I realized how much work goes into a structure, but no one remembers the builders. Civil engineers bare a great responsibility, which is why we have subjects teaching us about ethics and communication.
You're a good person Mat Thank you for posting this. I was getting excited from checking all the other speculation videos that I forgot there were people inside.
in italy, in my "town" and my "province capital", as an engineer and as a civil protection volunteer I am asked, often following tragic events, to speak and explain why. it happened for the earthquakes of 2009, 2012 and 2016. for the flood of 2014 and for the collapse of the bridge in Genoa in 2018 or the collapse of the bridge in Tuscany in 2020. the engineering side comes into play the emotional side, the loss of human life, of buildings with centuries of history and memories. heritage symbols. In addition to the damage to the industrial fabric. so I just wanted to tell you that I understand the difficulty in talking about these things and to expose you with a judgment. I appreciate it. thank you for what you do, you are inspirational
This is why Civil/Structural Engineers should be paid more. If you want a building to safely stand for 40 50 60 years you'd think it would be a good idea to fairly compensate the engineers that design these buildings/structures.
Mat, thanks for the heartfelt post. Yes, safety first seems to sometimes be at the expense of profits. Who can say that adding more rebar or maybe a slightly higher psi of concrete would have prevented the disaster? It always seems that there are tradeoffs to everything that we do. I guess that we have to learn from this and go on. 😢
Well this kind of unfortunate incidents will actually shows the gravity of the work that engineers do who are always underrated in every success. But I believe that engineering as a whole should also give emphasis to something called compassion as you mentioned in the scenario investigating the building collapse. And my prayers are with those unfortunate victims.
it was built in other times, where we didn't have much technology of concrete, or the best theory of design structural. now we have more chances to do the best design with the technology and more theory and the others opportunities..
Rest In Peace to my former classmates and coworkers, and to the mothers fathers brothers sisters uncles aunts husbands wives and who knows how many children. What an atrocity
I somewhat disagree here. I think the engineers shouldn't shy away at all even if they find it 'cool' cause deep interest will have the best results. If I died there that day, I would want the engineers to examine it as much as possible, no matter what attitude they have towards the situation. That way, none of those people would die in vain. Also, if I was the family, I would not get mad if the engineers found it exciting cause that means their positive attitude will help them dig into it farther. That attitude could make them obsessed with it and that can actually help a lot. Of course, they should still act sensible though.
Yeah, I feel the pressure man, 💔its really unfortunate we are feel sorry for the loss of those people. To the construction industry unexpected failures can happen..The building wasn't really constructed in a poor way I believe it was done to the best of their knowledge.
Hi po new subscriber here tanong ko lang po is halos pareho po ba yung subject sa 1st year ng C.E AT E.E?kase po kung sakaling hindi ako makuha sa c.e mag e.e muna ako tas shift sa c. e
THANK GOD YOU POINTED THIS OUT. JEFFOSTROFFS VIDEOS ARE HORRIBLE. HE IS TOO EXCITED TO GET TO BE ON THE NEWS AND SEE FIRETRUCKS NOT EVEN CARING WHAT HE IS SAYING THAT THE FAMILIES SEE
Hi sir mat to be a structural engineering what course did you take civil engineering major in structural or just civil engineering only I am an upcoming first year college next 2 month and I want to be a structural engineer like you what should I chose ? Plssss notify 😔😊🥺🙏 I'm a filipino 🇵🇭
Mat Keep up your channel please! You have filled a gap on youtube that we Structural Engineers needed! Thank you!!!

Hi can you tell me what course did you take ce major in structural or just ce

I was told experienced structural engineers make pretty solid cash....how much do they make ?
Paid more by who? The market sets the price, we get paid what we get paid based on market forces.
As a civil engineer i guess its important for me and all to learn a lesson its not a joke 😢😢

Very thoughtful commentary. People ask me what happened too. I agree that most of the speculation is not good
Could it be that the building soften overtime collecting moisture from the sea?

Are you going for the SE exam again?
Good video🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Hey can you make a video which coding language to learn for civil engineering please

Can you please make a content for Demand vs Capacity. Thx

if I study structural engineering will I be able to build a house right after my degree
No. You would at least need 1-2 year of experience before you can start all the planning and detailing involved by yourself.
@@saifchowdhury3581 ok I see thank you

Just a quick question sir, do you think civil engineering is still in demand after 10 years?
Please get to the point... Halfway in you were still prefacing...
Why bother.
Hi sir mat to be a structural engineering what course did you take civil engineering major in structural or just civil engineering only I am an upcoming first year college next 2 month and I want to be a structural engineer like you what should I chose ? Plssss notify 😔😊🥺🙏 I'm a filipino 🇵🇭
bro please help me
I am an Indian
Can i do better doing Masters in Structural Engg, Geotech or Transportation in USA
Man you gotta start gym
