WHO AM I:
I’m Ben, a structural engineer. I make videos about tech, engineering, productivity and self-development. On this channel I hope to provide entertainment, advice and knowledge for aspiring and young students and professionals.

[@AyaanKhan-ei3gk]

Mate, amazing video as always,I was thinking maybe if you can provide us with a detailed video series on a real world structure design project, it will be very insightful for us

[@BEngHielscher]

Thanks! I’ll see what I can do :)

[@TonyMarios]

This Channel is Growing at a Good Rate..Been subscribed to it from when we had less than 1000 subscribers

[@BEngHielscher]

Wow! thanks for your continued support :)

[@DjibrilD__]

Seems like the right mix between intellectually challenging and chill office job if that makes sense

[@misbilmohammed]

That was a great look into what you do, thank you!

[@BEngHielscher]

Thank you!

[@phiwazulu1662]

I love your content Man it's inspiring me alot. Keep it up bro💪🏾👍🏾

[@BEngHielscher]

Thank you!

[@balaji.m7761]

Nice video, thank you for giving such nice content. keep doing more videos.

[@BEngHielscher]

Thanks, glad you liked it!

[@richardgamehole4226]

This is an amazing video I'm still a student studying civil engineering

[@1Brodie_Campbell]

I am a civil engineering student , thankyou for motivating me , kindly make videos on how to come up with structural designs

[@gibsonkalafiu5452]

Great and amazing video

[@BEngHielscher]

Thanks!

[@freidara9974]

Great video ! 🎉

[@BEngHielscher]

Thank you!

[@TennisWithWin]

Im going to school for civil engineering this year. Excited

[@BEngHielscher]

Good luck!

[@cailashoundonougbo8473]

Interesting!

[@harbincuyos1369]

Here because I can't choose between construction and structural engineer

[@shatakshipandey8014]

i am enrolling inti civil engineering programs in college. I am very excited to be a civil engineer. It sounds interesting. Its my first time seeing a video of day in the life of a civil engineer.

[@BEngHielscher]

Best of luck!

[@1224natalie]

It was so interesting😊😊😊

[@BEngHielscher]

Thanks!

[@TheunsGideonJudeel]

Love your content! I have an iPad pro, which I use extensively in my personal and professional life. I would love to see how you use your iPad for work.

[@iorhan]

Okay, you’ve earned my respect when you didn’t eat your lunch and bought a Banh mi. That’s me every day in the office 😂

[@BEngHielscher]

Hahahah it’s too hard to resist sometimes!

[@emranqazizada5566]

Can you tell us about software programs your using, and how you access reliable tutorials for them.

[@phenyomogopodi4369]

Brilliant video,would you perhaps be able to rope in any one of your potential mechanical Engineering friends? I’m studing mechanical engineering and would love to see how that looks
By the way I took your advice regarding note taking and the learning process,great work man🙇‍♂️

[@user-lm6dp3qo8b]

Hi Hielsher. Thank you for this video. Could you please give me some insight on the kind of laptop you use?

[@macdedeh69]

amazing video mate. love your content. just a question: what sort of software do you use for your designs (especially modelling) and analysis and what other good ones would you recommend to a fellow structural engineer? (i've started using SAP2000 btw) :)

[@Venkata_reddyCherukula]

What's the laptop model and name

[@richardgamehole4226]

This is an amazing video I'm still a student studying civil engineering
Any advice

[@roboz121]

Hey could you explain what part of design proces you do in software and what part you do hand calculations. In Europe a lot of engineers do almost everything in design software

[@BEngHielscher]

Anything that I can do quickly do by hand, I do by hand. For example this could be loading calculations, simple shear force or bending moment equation calcs or even just notes about design assumptions I’ve made along the way. Any design tasks that are more complex, I will use software to do, but where I can avoid it I will. Sometimes using software can eat up way more time than just doing a quick hand calc so I find it’s more efficient to know how to do quick things by hand.

[@muhindikilamahali3242]

Any pro tip for geotech engineers in Australia cheers

[@KhalilNasri-qs7mx]

What's your laptop ?

[@shine2op59]

Hello , Saw your video felt so good and motivative, i was wondering if you can give me advice . currently 2nd year civil engineering and i am passioned for structural engineering. i have completed my steel design course at college so i need any video or course that can guide me for engineering concrete design course. please suggest me i live in ontario, canada

[@LimitBreaker-lb6md]

What's the name of the textbook u r using?

[@BEngHielscher]

Design of Portal Frame Buildings 4th Edition By Woolcock, Kitipornchai, Bradford and Haddad

[@LimitBreaker-lb6md]

@@BEngHielscher thank u so much 💕💕

[@shatakshipandey8014]

Haha, I would literally need so much more food than just half a lunchbox and 2 protein bars😅.

[@user-xm6di9kq9b]

Nice video bro 👍, Where u work?

[@BEngHielscher]

Thanks! In Australia

[@avin636]

Hi.. Are you from Australia?

[@BEngHielscher]

Hi Yes I am :)

[@gourabsarker9552]

Sir do you earn 150k dollars a year as a structural engineer in Australia? Plz reply. Thanks a lot.

[@morganwhitford4104]

Bro this figures only applies at the management or senior roles. Structural engineer in Australia earns 65-80k a year.
