We all wish we could start over this is how I would start over my engineering career. I fell into many career traps as I progressed; these are the career advice I wish I had known earlier.
these engineering career tips will allow you to progress your career fast, but most importantly it, does not allow about your hard engineering skills, but you also need to have good soft skills to navigate the engineering consultancy office also allow you to describe complex engineering problems to non-technical problems,
this video will provide a wide range of both things I wish I had known earlier, what our most important skills are and how to not waste time when you are starting out your engineering career

My takeaway from this video. 1. Start with small firm - to get more repetitious on your work/job and have an expansion of different types of problems you may solve - small projects are hard as bigger projects - see small projects as stepping stones to your career goal - don't stay too long on the small firm especially when you stop learning, it's time to move on (play: thank you next by ari) 2. Don't chase the money - learning&experince >> money/salary - but don't work underpaid - pay for yourself (attending seminars and training) 3. Focus on engineering mechanics - study the basics like how the building behaves - know to break complex problems into simple solutions 4. Increase problem-solving skill - treat complex design/s of architects as a challenge - you should encourage and enjoy problem-solving 5. Understand the codes - study and know your local codes - codes are guidance still use your engineering judgement 6. Level up communication skill - communicate/explain complex ideas to simpler one to the person who doesn't have the same knowledge as you - for written communication, double-check/proofread first - followed up a call after you sent an email for the correct intent - read books about effectively communicating 7. Devote time on serious learning - learning must part of your engineering career - learn something helpful for your career >> netflix

Wow, thanks for the summary, great work!

As an 5 years experienced structural engineer, I definitely concur what Brendan had said. Starting in a small firm really makes me all rounder not only in structural knowledge, but also some business skills and construction skills.

@malikdaniyel146 Год назад

Hi Brendan, you said some valid points but the two that stands out to me was communication skills and design codes.

@BrendanHasty Год назад

Hi Malik, thanks for the support Codes are important but only as guides. Too often people either use them to justify breaking structural mechanics or don't know them enough and miss critical detailing or design requirements. If you want you progress communication is the most important.

@malikdaniyel146 Год назад

@@BrendanHasty yes I do agree with your notion of people using design codes to justify breaking rules and bot fully understand them. I remember my ex boss saying that codes are a temporary guide for engineers when designing but the nature of the structure and common sense prevails when selecting such codes.

Im 43 with a 3d design based work history a mixture of civils and mechanical experience. I have a basic knowledge and understanding of design calculations, I would really love to get into more of the Civil engineering side of things and progress my at present limited knowledge of design calculations as far as I can. I have really developed a passion for it but im limited as i have no other engeer/ mentors to help me develop. I'm worried that my age is a limiting factor and will go against me😢

Hi Barden, thanks for your amazing videos, can you suggest courses for design of concrete and steel structures according to the Australian standards? I would really appreciate

@BrendanHasty 9 месяцев назад

I've been thinking of developing courses myself early 2024, need to find time to do that, work is too busy. But will announce once it's ready.

@BUTCH0120 Год назад

Never send any type of written communication without putting it aside for a bit, then reviewing and revising it as needed before hitting the send key.

@dykodesigns Год назад

Yes, this is super important. The second time you read through something you might spot typos or rephrase sentences to improve the text. I often let a co-worker read over it as well, as they look at it with fresh eyes and may come with suggestions or spot errors that have been missed. Also, make sure it’s not accidentally sent to the wrong recipients as it’s easy to make these mistakes in a hurry. Happened to me recently, I relied a bit too quickly on Outlook’s auto completion in the adress field. It got sent to the wrong person, luckily the recipient notified me shortly after with the question if the message was intended for them. Luckily it was not that painfull, but lesson learned.

@BrendanHasty Год назад

This is great advice, also similar along the lines is to not respond under anger. Phone calls are always the best way to respond as sometimes emails are be misinterpreted.

@BrendanHasty Год назад

I also do not full out the address field prior to my proff reading to make sure it isn't accidentally sent. Also need to remember to attached the files you said you would, that mistake is made all the time.

Communication >>>> technical skills if you want to make money.

@BrendanHasty Год назад

You need both but agree communication skills are most important

@mddanish9274 Год назад

Your advice are very helpful sir thank you. Sir I am recent graduate engineer I had knowledge of structural software like staadpro & tekla. Can I start my career in structural engineer without master's.

@BrendanHasty Год назад

Certainly! Most of my fellow colleagues don't have masters, working experience is more important.
