This excellent advice, thank you, Brendan. I can't emphasize enough NOT hiding mistakes. I'm a mechanical engineer, but that's something that transcends disciplines. It's important to communicate with others throughout all phases of the projects.
My experience (now 70 yrs old) tells me that being a Structural engineer is like entering priesthood-- with little prospects of getting it rich, unless one owns the Consultancy business.Unfortunately, where I am, the one who amass weath is the real owner ( the financier-founder of the firm) who is more often, not an engineer himself but rather a businessman, a politician or both. But if one is motivated by noble mission of amassing knowledge and experience, structural engineering is the place. It is a profession of endless learning, ( even a lifetime of endless study seems not enough) updating to the latest trend suited for an introverted person, not really reluctant to interact socially with the general public but mindful of work and not to waste of valuable time, unless it is spent in a forum for equally introverted engineers. Truly the job ensures a steady, secured and comfortable source of income for the family. But the stress associated with it and the toll to health will be revealed once one reaches retirement age. Suddenly you realize all thst's left are respect and memories of projects you got involved with. And no one cares if you were there, unless it failed or deteriorated. Well, that's my experience...maybe not true for others.
I'm at the brink of graduating from Civil Engineering and your channel has been a blessing! Thanks a lot for your advice and the content you create to advice the future generations of Engineers Greetings from Chile!
thank you so much Brendan for this video as it strongly resonates with me . indeed you have said it all for all aspiring Structural Engineers or Enthusiasts like myself in the field of structural BIM modelling. Structure is highly technical and needs lots of patience. God bless you Sir.
hey man, i already commented on your other video, but I just gotta say, i really apprecieate your words. I'm a junior engineer, third year out of uni on the cusp of getting my lisence. I'm in situation right now without any real mentoring or guidance. I've been forced to learn as much as i can by examining old plans , taking risks in design, and other stuff that has honestly left me very anxious and uncertain at times. your videos are great because i guess what ive really been looking for is someone like you with experience and know how to actually say these words of guidance to me. the technical stuff i know i can figure out. but the qualitative stuff is what ive really been missing. just wanted to say thank you and i appreciate you.
I'm so glad the sharing of my experience has helped you with your journey, this was the purpose that I started this channel. Every engineer used to be fresh graduate, I know how you feel. Keep learning, try to get a mentor or even a peer colleague to discuss when unsure, some day you will feel proud of yourself when you look back. Engineering is a small community, we should all help each other to grow both professionally and personally. If you want me to cover topic, feel free to reach out. Thanks mate for your support!
Thanks a lot. Really appreciate your sincere advices. I always have good communication with everyone but I struggle as an engineer as I realized the gap between academic and real life approaches. I am making a list of what you say and keeping it in front of me as a guidance. Thank you!
Hj Gardenia, it is just practice you will get better over time, and writing down. Responses it a good way to get more comfortable sounds like you are on the same track.
Solid advice! I particularly agree with the advice about sticking problems out, and making the most out of the roles you have currently. I can't say I followed it myself, but I do look back at my first role and often wonder if it would have been worth sticking it out longer, as I didn't find companies like them after (despite my expectations being high each time I moved).
Hi BIM Guru, it is hard to know early in your career what is good and what isnt . it is always easy in hindsite to think other compaines are better and quicker to get career progression. but if you dont burn your bridges you maybe able to move back
I am a 4.5 years Structural Engineer in Residential/ Industrial. Thank you for your video. You really made me grow up more after watching this deep and experience-sharing video. Cheers Brendan.
I just like to thank you for all content in your channel. As a portuguese engineer i can relate a lot with the things you say and show in your channel. Pls keep bring us good content. Sorry about the bad english. Gob bless you.
In the beginning of your career you need to learn technical subjects including how structures work, how to design different things, and how to make the components of the building fit together. Your goal should be to get experience. Later in your career you need to learn how to work as part of a team, and eventually to manage projects and manage teams. Also learn marketing and how to represent yourself and your company. Changing companies can get you an initial improvement in your position but over the long term you don't build up any seniority and you will remain just a worker and not a manager. But sometimes you have to change companies in order to get the recognition that you deserve so think about it both ways. Changing companies might also be necessary for you to get different types of experience. Ultimately the way to progress in your career is to move from worker to team leader to manager. Otherwise you become just an older version of what you were just out of college and that doesn't gain you much. Your employers will view you as just another design engineer with a little more experience.
This what I call it as honest advice!! Unfortunately I am an one man show, where no others colleague around me that I can discuss, ask or share ideas with them!! and believe me that is frustrating from one side but the good point in it that it's pushing me to read and study more without stopping. Engineers cannot stop learning 😉
@@BrendanHasty Hi Brendan, Unfortunately since I have started working in Australia, I have been working from home. In the office I have just another colleague but he's a mechanical engineer. My dreams are big but really hard when you're alone. I really appreciate if I can share and seek advise from you. If you see my email, you can get a better idea about it. If it's sound good to you, please let me know by email so we can discuss. Thanks mate
Great videos mate, enjoy your work. How come you do not touch on the importance of site based experience at all? I believe all engineers need to have both design and site constructability knowledge. I think there are far too many engineers out there that are great designers however have minimal understanding of how a construction site functions and why certain things can not be achieved on-site and vice versa, such as great site engineers that don't understand exactly why the design is the way it is and what is being achieved from a structural design pov by constructing as per design. I think engineers in Australia (may be similar in other countries, I don't know) never get to fully experience what it means to be an engineer to its full potential as we are left to choose whether we want to work site based or office/design based. For example, I have chosen a career progression of being a Site Engineer > PE > SPE > PM etc... however if I were to decide to transition into a design based role today, I would be expected to almost start off as a Junior structural engineer and accept a pay cut with almost 5+ years of site based engineering & construction experience or vice versa... It just seems wrong to me that we have to force engineering graduates with little to none proper industry experience to choose one path which almost makes it impossible to explore the other path later in their career without having to start from scratch. Maybe this is something Engineers Australia need to look into and make part of becoming a registered engineer, similar to 'ICE' I guess... What are your thoughts?
Hi Ismet I agree that working on site full time for a year or two is important, and I recommend all engineers do that. I did that on a project that I designed. If you work on a big enough project you may get the chance when working for a design firm. I would also recommend doing it after a couple of year of experience so you have some context to what you are looking for, thanks for the well thought out comment and support.
Hi Brendan I am foreign qualified engineer with loads of experience in east and South Asia now living in Melbourne. What is you advice to break into the local industry. I have had no success as I have no local experience.
Hi legions, study study study, that is a pretty big switch you will be amazing at footing and retention design, so while studying try and stick to things you are good at to keep you confidence up. You will get there.
Hi Brendan, Thanks for your amazing work👍. How hard is it to start a structural engineering consulting company? How competitive is the industry for commercial works? And is there money in the business considering all the cost? I am a graduate student and currently working for a big company but my goal is to start my own company after I get enough experience, however I am not too sure if this is the right path and if it’s worth my time to get the experience needed. Thanks Brendan
To build the word-of-mouth reputation takes time, I have a friend started his own firm after a couple of years working in a big consultancy. The sales & marketing would be a big hurdle when you start out.
Brendan my graduation almost done,,1 semister left.i want to do structural engineering.what post course I should be upto? I have less of guidance as an international student,u could help me a little ,pal
Focus on Timber, it is an amazing material that is currently underutilized in Structural engineering. Timber also greatly reduces the Emboided Carbon required to build a structure.
Hello Sir, Thank you very much for your sharing information about engineering. I have a question, what is the best book in design of concrete and steel structures?
Hi Mohammad, I've done a book video before --> ruclips.net/video/Sxdykhieh2Y/видео.html, steel and concrete books mentioned are here. 📗 Steel Designers' Handbook (Branko Gorenc, Ron TinYou, Arun Syam) geni.us/SteelHand 📗 Concrete Structures geni.us/ConStruct 📗 Reinforced Concrete Basics geni.us/sVDoul
Hi Brendan, how much site experience would you say is needed/beneficial before going into design? Also, is the salary really a lot less in design compared to site engineering?
Hi Lav, I would recommend a couple of years of design experience before doing a period of site. It will help consolidate your design experience. Site engineers typical get a 10 or 20% increase but typically hours are longer.
Thanks Brendan for sharing your advice! I have a quick question regarding my situation. I was recently retrenched due to a reduction of company's forecasted workload and I have about 2 years working experience (1 year civil + 1 year structural). I feel like I am ambiguous as I want to keep doing structure, but I only have 1 year experience. I am not sure should I apply for graduate structural role at tier 1 or straight into junior structural engineer role. (Also I released that most of the tier 1 company graduate program has been closed before Mid-April, so can you please give me some advice on my situation?) Best Regards, Xiji Dai
Thanx a lot for your advice brendan Actually i have a question that annoys me a lot ... Do a structural designer have to have combetence in construction field ? I mean, should i go deep in this field before practicing the structural design works ? Or basic knowledge can be enough ?
Basically, the designing role fascinating me . but some of my seniors told me that : "you must gain some site experience before been a designer ; to know what you are designing and how the contractor and the technicians will construct it " , it's like a matter of improving sense?
Hi I was hoping you could give me some advice. I started late in civil engineering, completing my masters degree at 33 years old. My degree covered many subjects including environmental, water, geotechnics, structures financial and project management. My final year was geared towards more advanced structural courses. I struggled to get work after finishing my degree which wasn't helped by covid. I finally got a job with the department for infrastructure but have been placed in procurement. Can you advise me how I can gain the experience I need to gain chartership with both ice and istructe as I am aiming to become a structural engineer but am unsure how I can do this from the position I'm in. Due to my age I know I'm already at a disadvantage and don't have years to waste doing the wrong kind of work which doesn't benefit me. Any advice you can give would be much appreciated. Thanks.
Getting experience in both design and construction. Start with design so if/when being a site engineer you have that design experience bacing you up and reinforcing you knowledge. Also, would recommend starting at a small engineering firm, as you will get a broad experience from full design to finance in smaller companies. This will require you to build relationships as small companies are kinda like families , and learn on that your are older so more driven, likely to work harder the someone younger. Also study study study graduating uni is only the start, there is so much to learn to be a engineer and you have only scratch the surface.
Honest feedback from someone who works closely with graduates. They have an arrogance that they havent earnt yet. 6 months on the job doesnt create an expert. Time on the tools is priceless..

Do really structural engineering require complex math
Hi Kiran, Math typically in structural engineering isn't that complex. Integrals are typically the most complex; you should know how matrixes work, but the math is done by computers. It is worth knowing how to programing it helps you a lot in design efficiency.
MS Excel or MathCad
