I'm currently in second year of the Civil Engineer degree and I found this channel like yesterday. I was surprise about how good this channel is and it's surprise me more that it has low views. Good job man, I hope your channel keeps growing!.
wow, you literally just described me. You made me see the features that I have had since my childhood, in only 5 qualities. When I looked at buildings and bridges, when I saw a piece of software, I wondered how they did it. I would do everything in an orderly sequence. I used to think about how I could do the most work with the least amount of energy. What you have told shows how experienced and analytical you are. I am a 2nd year computer engineering student and thanks to this video, I am now quite sure that I have choose the right job for myself. It was a very good video. I am very confident that this channel will grow. Keep up the good work
Hello Kienen, just stumbled across your video. This will be my second semester starting my career path in civil engineering and I'm trying to switch gears to become a successful engineering student. With this online learning and being in quarantine, it has been really difficult for me to get back in the learning mindset I had before these rough times. Your video helped me changed my attitude towards learning in general (actually makes me more thrilled to learn) and I'm looking forward to learn more from you with these videos.
I agree with the problem solving I’m doing online school and boyyy if I tell you the amount of like happiness I get when seeing I’m doing everything right in class for the day it honestly makes me excited for the next time I go ,but then I end up messing up the next day 😂
Is it weird that I’m not good at application concepts however I get excited whenever I get that “aha” moment. I really like your content Mr Koga. Whenever I don’t feel like studying, I watch your cons of construction and I get motivated. Like my brain tells me that getting my BS Civ engr is only the easy way in this hard journey.
Engineering is such a cool career path overall, all engineers I know (in any field) are very good at explaining things to me as if I was 5😂 since most of the time I have no idea what’s going on
My first reaction was neither, It was: Ive always been a great problem solver in all aspects and forms and andy way you can grap the definition of the word. I can solve what they are havings problems with, easier……..
If you get higher up to upper management and don't do the "grunt work," do you get the same level of satisfaction if you're in it for the process? I often associate upper management with getting wrapped up in the business side, and I'm wondering if that takes away from some of the enjoyment.
I think engineering education often puts too much focus on the importance of technical skills and knowledge, and not enough on the 'soft skills', as you mention. I've worked with many brilliant engineers who can solve and understand extremely complex problems, but when it comes to communicating with others, leading projects, working on a team, etc., they struggle. I couldn't agree more; the best and most effective engineers are the ones who have a balance of technical skill and 'soft' skills!
This is a really good video cause I know for a fact I enjoy construction (I worked laboring and still enjoyed) but this let me get an idea of what engineer is like 👍
I understand that if I love something it wont feel like work however, I also want to be compensated for my time at work, if I'm putting in over 40 hours of work... hope I feel satisfied.. still in my Engineering school. do you ever feel burnt out at your job ?
For me, not really. I did get tired, but I just focused on the learning. Never felt I was doing monotonous tasks. But burn out is real in the industry; and I think it goes that way if you focus too much on how much youre working instead of the skills you are gaining.
How are you working on your people management skills (EQ, empathy, team management/motivation)? Are you like reading books? Talking to mentors? Sometimes it’s hard to learn these soft skills.
Great question! Right now its more trial and error; learning from my past experiences and trying new tactics. All of that (books, mentors, etc) help too, but completely different when you try to put it into practice
I appreciate your videos I know you Channel is small but I do believe you will pop off because it’s just Amazing content I do think if you did like more on job site walk through you would get more views Thank you again
Great video Kienen ! The logical side is something I can definitely relate to. Would you say that there has to be a level of creativity to solve some of the problems you face in the field ?
Quick question for you. I graduated this past May with my engineering degree and work for a concrete subcontractor now in Houston. I’m wondering if I should go ahead and take my FE exam or if I should not worry about it because I see myself in construction as my long term carrier. What are your thoughts?
I would just take it. You never know where life will take you and its nice to have other tools at your arsenal when things change. And it sucks to take the test many years out of school lol
I like hearing to ur opinions, i am civil engineer graduate shld i do masters? Or start working for a company? I am already 23 does getting a masters degree affect alot. Or shld i start gaining experience as its a experience based industry as u say. Sry for asking u for consultaion i dont really have any1 who can guide me.i dont like taking money frm parents if its not worth it

Wow so awesome to hear. Thanks Dominique!
Again, very nice and interesting video Kienen. I will be pursuing this career in the future and you have been helping a lot.
Glad to hear! Best of luck Christian!

Hahahaha its a rough cycle

You are a motivation for me. Thanks a lot for making this video
Means a lot Thanesh!

Hahaha we try to be relatable people. Sometimes it doesnt go well lol
I love this channel. I’m still in high school but your videos get me excited for college and my future job👍🙂
Great to hear emilio!

I think so, but it depends how people are wired haha

Thanks so much!
As a plumber in construction the engineers I deal with have no common sense and I have to fix the issues.
Damn sorry to hear, but yeah sometimes the degree doesnt mean much in the field haha
I understand that if I love something it wont feel like work however, I also want to be compensated for my time at work, if I'm putting in over 40 hours of work... hope I feel satisfied.. still in my Engineering school. do you ever feel burnt out at your job ?

How to know if ,say a slab is sagging, is it a design problem or construction problem

As an Aerospace Engineering major, I felt as if you were Describing me word for word 🤯😂.
Awesome Jason!
Hi, I was just wondering what bachelor's degree did you get and what was the path you took in order to get where you are today.
Love your videos
Thanks Cleon!
@@KienenKoga your a inperation to young engineer
Great video Kienen ! The logical side is something I can definitely relate to.
Would you say that there has to be a level of creativity to solve some of the problems you face in the field ?
Yes! Absolutely! And a lot of it comes from experience as well; seeing what worked in the past and tweaking it a little to fit your situation

Maybe to get a little bit of the taste of civil engineer like earn knowledge (practice in the field)
@@BV-sh7nu I'll do jst tht
rebar in concrete. That's common sense. You don't need a degree for that.
Haha but yet sometimes not so common
Nice
Thank you!
Please restrict your content to Enginnering and Finances, I lost focus when I saw the girlfriend 😂😂😂
Hahahaha me too
