How Engineers Design Buildings: What Structural Engineers Actually Do

Structural engineers play a crucial role in the development of any new structure however, the analysis and design processes that they use are not widely know by many. In an effort to share what I've learnt about the role of structural engineers in construction over the past 2 years, in this video I take you through the 4 stages that structural engineers go through in order to bring a project to life. Enjoy :)

Thanks for reminding me of my professional career for over 3 years as a engineer role special in dealing with structural discipline. I was as a junior year in working a lot and so confused what I was in my position. Civil engineer and structural engineer are having multi-similarity

Good explanation. I would also pick up the design contribution of connections by the fabricator , specialist contractors for specialist areas and the temporary works specialist. I would also reflect the importance of multi-d coordination, risk and assumption management and integration. I have been doing this for 43 years since by masters and retiring this year. Love this work, I would do it all again if I could.

I wanted to work for a gc as a super in infrastructure. Fortunately/unfortunately I studied civil engineering. Structural analysis was fun once I learned it but I unfortunately feel like most of my college experience was a wasted endeavor for what I needed in my career. It was good though for learning how to think and problem solve.

Hey Beng, I just found your videos and are really incredible. They helped me so much, so THANK YOU. I wanted to ask you one thing, do you know if companies have more preference for engineers than capable architects? Im just finishing architecture and i really liked structures subjects but im worried that for this kind of jobs they would choose an engineering firstly.

@BEngHielscher Жыл бұрын

My pleasure, I’m glad you are enjoying my videos! I’m not sure if this is the same where you live but in Australia only people with engineering degrees work as engineers. Architecture degrees in Australia cover completely different content and would not prepare you to work in structural engineering. Perhaps this is different where you live or you could complete a masters in engineering?

Hey congrats on finishing your bachelors! I think the best way to continue your education while you’re not at university is to get an internship. While you are looking, work on some personal projects, keep doing your study and try and expand your skills. Perhaps you could learn how a new software works. Hope this helps :)

@BEngHielscher 10 ай бұрын

Sometimes it’s just one and sometimes its multiple. As projects go through different stages of the design they stop and start a bit and so that no time is wasted you often can work on a other projects to fill that time.

@BEngHielscher 5 ай бұрын

Welcome! I would suggest contacting small structural engineering companies in your area. This is where you will get the most exposure and experience. For the programs you should start learning, I would suggest you find out what’s popular locally. The easiest way to do this is to search for structural engineering jobs on LinkedIn and look in the skills section of the job description and see what programs they are wanting applicants to know. Hope this helps :)
