The contents of your videos are of high quality! Great great stuff
Solidworks taught me how to frame from UA-cam.
Please solve and upload some example in Virtual work method both frame and truss and beams
Hi, im new to your channel and im already thankful that you are here, please can you give reviewers for board exams
Hi, I'm studing civil engineering and I've finished my first year, I will be thankful if you gave me some advises about how to imporve my studing and what to study and how, also what is the most important things I can study and spend my holiday with? Thank you very much 💙
The house plan website is very helpfull Many tks
No worries, glad it could help :)
@@BEngHielscher btw, Do you know any website provided sample structural drawing.
Steel and lot harder than concrete 😂
Brother can tell me which job is best and which is easy to inter in this field as a fresher ( Bim Engineer or Structural engineer) ... What's your opinion please tell us....
I m B.E civil graduated.what kind of courses strutctural design enginner needing ?
I didn't get it are you civil engineer or structure engineer?
Structural engineer
Structure is branch of civil engineering
This video has been really helpful Ben, thank you. I will be graduating in the coming days, and I’ve followed each and every step of your guide in preparation for graduate roles. I am just a little unsure if the formatting and structure of your amazing template is ATS friendly, coz AI apparently doesn’t like headers/footers and occasionally columns. Also not sure if pictures in the portfolio might cause issues if the resume and portfolio are in the same document.
What about utility orientated Civil Engineering path .....does it have as many challenges as Structural Engineering, (you think? )
really appreciate your videos mate.
Thank you!
Inspired me, thx✨️✨️.
You’re welcome! :)
Starting university within a month. As a freshman . This is gonna come in handy.
Good luck!

Hi Ben. Thanks for all your work. Do you mind sharing your own website where we can find all the information and your journey? Thanks
Thanks you so much ! Im in 4th year through my degree bit never done the calcula of a concrete building only steal . Do you advice me to do it ?
As a sophomore civil engineering student who’s interested in structural/land development I really appreciate your videos
Thanks!
this will be a good revision practice
question, how hard was finite element theory if u had that in ur course
It’s complex but I got through it with enough study
Brilliant video mate, keep it up! A quick question - would you say from your personal experience, is it better to get a Beng degree and start getting work experience or pursue Masters? Currently I am a Beng student, finished my second year and I do feel quite burned out and not sure if extra year is gonna be good for me mentally. From what I gathered from industry recruiters, they d rather get somebody with a year of experience rather than a masters student. Obviously every company is different and this is not always the case, but just wanted to get your opinion on it.
Thanks! Industry experience is very valued. If you can find a role at a fast placed small company the learnings you will have can sometimes far out weigh what you would learn during a masters. Formal education is still important but if you want a break this wouldn’t be a bad way to spend it :)
Appreciate you taking your time to respond. Needed to hear something like this for a while! Keep making great content, it is always helpful and enjoyable to watch.
as always thank you
Thank you :)
I will start studying structural wood engineering in germany in two months and I will definitely use your tips during my time at university to create a strong portfolio. Thx for these great videos!
That’s cool and my pleasure :)
Thank you for your help
My pleasure!
Very helpful!
Thank you! :)
Hi Hielsher. Thank you for this video. Could you please give me some insight on the kind of laptop you use?
Structural engineering is by far the most beautiful spec in my opinion. Everything you do has practical implications and real world consequences. You the same liability for human life as do doctors, and in many cases a strcutral failure is much more catastrophic. I am actually proud to bear so much responsibility wtih my designs because that tells me I'm making a positive impact on society. Not to mention, the theoretical complexity and elegance of the theory we are taught, how everything ends up fitting together like a jigsaw puzzle from connection design to seismic and gravity just amazes me. Our specialisation is as old as time and will continue to be indespinsable to humanity. Proud start working soon.
Thank you brother🫡❤️
Architects get all perks of dirty works done by civil engineers.they have service brands.can take credit & negotiate well.
But please is it a must to always come to the office
I really like ur videos
This is an amazing video I'm still a student studying civil engineering Any advice

Just wanna say my Inspiration to become Civil Engineer was "Bob the Builder"
I'm in my final year Civil engineering HND 2 Your lecture inspired me.
Contractors immediately want to start work once the deal is made. This means producing site stabilization drawings and design right away. A clearing and grubbing set of drawings may precede the grading and stabilization. I always took a preliminary set of sheets to the city or county for a cursary review. This inclusion of the city/county will payoff in getting the permitting for grading and drainage. This design activity gets the civil and structural engineers time to begin further design. Exciting career although pay is not as good as other disciplines and schedule is tight at the first of the project. A good site survey and site borings are needed right away if not already performed. Civil engineers have a love/hate relationship with their careers. Mine was more love than hate. Retired in 2016 as a registered professional engineer doing both civil and structural engineering.
LED = layout, engineering, detailing. The final calculation document is really the last item to be completed. This is the approach that works for me.
At 4:44: "and the Builders decided to use a different size of timber and grade than the one you've specified". Isn't the builders held responsible for not following specifications? I mean, the specifications are made for a reason.
That happens very rarely, unfortunately. More often than not, the engineer will need to do extra work to ensure that the structure will still be ok. Another reason the engineer ends up doing this work is to maintain the relationship, as the builder can be your client
@@BEngHielscher Ah I see. So it is kind of a bit of "free service" to the customer in the case where the builder is the one paying your bills. It still sounds risky though, because if the new size and grade won't be able to handle it, then you end up having to be "the bearer of bad news", that their changes is going to be a problem, and then you really have to be creative I guess. I am still only 2 years into my civil-engineering degree, and I will probably focus more on the utility-oriented path, water-lines, heating, etc. ... But that will probably have similar challenges I guess.
Amazing video...very helpful
Thank you!!
I really hope I could have seen this video sooner, I'm in my late 20s, and is so relevant to every student lucky enough to see this video you don't know how lucky you are and to the Creator of this videos thank you.
Thank you!
Nice job! I appreciate all your videos. You're my inspiration.
Thank you! Glad you like them :)
Its was a very interesting career. But i found frustrating to see small changes keep happening and the we have to re submit entire revised calculation even though it may not change any thing structurally. It wont be accepted even though all of us know there is more than 2 times safety margin is provided in all designs. The learning curve takes years. But the new professionals tend to over rely on computer model and results forgetting to verify using simple hand calculations. I am from India.
Ipad is engineering unfriendly
Thanks for sharing!
My pleasure!
Ask for more money, Structural Engineers shall be paid more!!!
I really appreciate your advices...Thank you so much for this video I wish more of this.🙏
Thanks! My pleasure :)
wheres your hi vis mate
Oh wow, doing fluid mechnaics next sem
I would love to know how to deal with difficult clients or dodgy tradesmen & builders, how to communicate properly or any tips on it. If you haven't made a video on it, I think that might be a good idea. Thanks Ben!
I’m guessing you have a Croatian background.
Nope but I’m interested to hear why you think that?
I did my carpentry apprenticeship under a civil engineer/builder and he would explain the reason for everything we did so I not only learned how to build something but the the structural reason behind it also, and you remind me of him he was Croatian 😊
Oh ok haha cool!
