Thank you Ben Again! I could not stop watching your videos. You are the most motivating person and keep going brother! We need this kind of initiatives for who struggle inside!
I'm a carpenter apprentice, I usually have questions: why a certain number of nails or screws should be used, why the spacing of rafters is designed, how a house or bridge or any big structure is built; if I build my own house with my experience only will the house collapse, etc. so I'm considering study Civil engineering courses for understanding the arts of it rather than becoming a structural engineering in future. Do you suggest me to study the courses just for interest but not for career? beside, is completing an structural engineering course theoretically can calculate all buildings's structure design spec? like "Eiffel Tower"... I am always impressed how a tall building can be built and designed so many years ago without computer.😲 Great Video, thank you.👍👍👍
Learning for interest is still a great idea. This way as you are reading the plans and building things you will be able to pick up on any errors and correct them yourself. Many carpenters gain this skill are many years of work but you could get this skill a lot quicker if you studied some of the fundamentals. If you were to study engineering at university you would learn a lot about the principles that are used to design great structures like the Eiffel Tower. However, the skill to be able to design such a structure would only be learnt many years down the road as you get experience with real projects. Hope this helps :)
Just got through my Fluid Mechanics class and oof. Tough class, a great professor. Fortunately, I believe I'll pass. I'll Update no matter what I get, lol.
@@BEngHielscher I PASSED! I actually did rather well. Taking Hydraulics and Hydrology next semester and I'm very excited. Also, I decided that I want to pursue a mathematics minor and will be taking Calc III so that'll be fun.
It seems like his Calc 1 course goes over topics that we’d cover in Calc 1 and 2 in the states, while his Calc 2 seemed to cover Multivariable Calculus and Differential Equation stuff from the U.S.
Great video I am graduate and planning to pursue masters in structural engineering so which country is best USA ,AUSTRALIA,CANADA .whose degree is more valuable
Will it be good to finish a graphic design associate before the Bachelors in Civil Engineering or it will be a waste of time? Please i need your opinion as soon as possible.
A bachelors in civil engineering seems like the best choice. I’m not sure what you do in a graphic design course but I don’t imagine it being so useful. Hope this helps
Hey Luis, I have a Civil engineering degree and have also freelanced as a graphic designer in the past to make money for tuition. The two basically have no appreciable overlap. If you are perhaps thinking that graphic design will give you an advantage in producing engineering drawings then I would say no, it will not make much of a difference. If you are actually talking about being able to do CAD or draughting, then this is a skill you can pick up on the side while you are doing a Civil degree; you will need to know CAD software for some design projects anyway. I hope this is helpful.
Hey man! If im struggling to stay motivated and committed as a civil engineering degree apprentice in year 2, do you think dropping out would be sensible as perhaps its not for me?
Hey Dylan! I’m sorry to hear about your struggles and I too have considered leaving engineering while I was at uni, so you’re definitely not alone in having these feelings. There are some questions you might like to ask yourself to help make this decision. 1. Is this just a phase that will past? (Are times in class currently really difficult and you feel like quitting because of that or are you literally just not interested in the content anymore) 2. Is there something else you have in mind that you want to do? (Another major like mechanical, software etc. or something completely different which is fine too!) 3. Do you think you will enjoy the day to day work of a civil engineering role? (Have you done an internship or had other experience? University life and work life are very different) This decision is quite complex and lots could be said to help make up your mind but I hope what I have provided gives you something to think about :) Let me know if I can help in any other way. Cheers :)

Great video !!!
I remember in my final year I used plaxis for Geotechnical engineering project
Thanks!
hi beng, I loved your contenido, amo tus videos, me encantan, gracias, eres el mejor, saludos desde cdmx
you should make a video on final year project ideas...for students interested in structural engineering..or other stuff too
Maybe one day, thanks for the suggestion :)

@@BEngHielscherthanks a lot😉
all my fav subjects are in tier e and f 😭😭
It's 90% similar 🎉
In my case however the difference between us is that ur an engineer and I'm a 3rd year student in civil engineering...
Infinity ♾️
I think your title of the video is a bit misleading. It will be better if you add in Structural engineering perspective.
Thanks for the feedback! I try to keep the titles short but I agree, this is from a structural engineering perspective :)

Thanks for sharing this! I hope you get the pass! :)

Congratulations!! That’s really awesome to hear. Best of luck next semester:)
Hi did you ever learn engineering chemistry?
I did a bit of chemistry in engineering materials class but that was about it :)
in my institute I also had to take calculus 3! 😭😭
Fun times… 😅🤣
What about calculus 3, differential equations, and all of the physics courses required?
It seems like his Calc 1 course goes over topics that we’d cover in Calc 1 and 2 in the states, while his Calc 2 seemed to cover Multivariable Calculus and Differential Equation stuff from the U.S.
Crazy how many extra civil courses you had compared to my journey! I had all the big ones you did, but not the ones that seemed to lead up to them.
Oh wow, doing fluid mechnaics next sem
What about surveying and transporting engineering class?
Great video

The most powerful degree will be in the country you wish to eventually work!
Thanks
Very informative 👏
My pleasure!
Are you still in school? And howmany years does it take to a degree like that?
Great video 👍
Thank you! Glad you liked it
