  • Have you ever wonder what your last day as an engineer will be I take you on that journey as I decided to quit Structural Engineering after 16 years and filmed my last day as a Structural Engineer. What does it mean for this channel, and why I left Structural engineering? Being a consultant engineer is tough, but it is something I loved, and you and see many videos on why I love Structural Engineering; however, sometimes, there is a need for change and growth, and the next journey in my Engineering career will be exciting. I will not reveal much in this video, but the next journey isn't far from Structural Engineering, and I will take you on that journey.
    My youtube channel on structural engineering isn't coming to an end; in fact, it is likely to have better, more exciting content. And I look forward to taking you on the journey.

      @@sohamtrivedi1312 fortunately sime of my passions outside of engineering lead me to get the opportunity to get an interview, plus I happened to have a good knowledge of the said software already, plus a little bit of luck. Do you have currently any unique experience that a software design company may want to utilise? If not, maybe keep an eye out for roles that they might be offering and aim to get experience in the requirements outlined in the job descriptions (i.e. certification in a programming language).

    • @PeterDebney
      @PeterDebney 2 роки тому +1

      @@sohamtrivedi1312 I also changed from consultancy to engineering software 25 years ago. You will need to show both a passion for the product area plus relevant experience. What that experience is depends on what role you are looking for.
      I started as a product manager, changed to sales and marketing, and am now customer service lead. In all cases I needed domain knowledge, technical excellence, and people skills.
      If you want to develop the software itself then you need coding skills, preferably in the relevant language. VBA will not cut it, Python can be useful, but you will need something like C#, C++, or JavaScript (depending on the product).
      Reading my book, Computational Engineering, may also help ;)
      Good luck

    I like math and physics and designing and creating new things but I hate endless meetings, dealing with the contractors, archiects and owners. Sometimes a projects goes through so many changes I forget the initial state of the project, my assumptions my design philosophy. It is a completely different animal than what you start with. You just try to make things work with minimal damage. It takes the joy out of your work.

    Thank you for the videos and congratulations on your new endeavor. I have 44 years (and still counting) as a Structural Engineer and have made similar changes starting with consulting, to large corporation, and back to consulting. I retired from a full time corporate environment at age 62 and returned to consulting because (like you) I enjoy the technical side of the work. I also have enjoyed teaching at a community college part time to share my knowledge and experiences. I could not have planned my career the way it turned out, but made changes that were appropriate and necessary to advance my skills and opportunities. Keep on adjusting your course as you see fit, and as the pilots sometimes say may you have blue skies and tail winds all the way. 😀

      Hi Brendan, this one was very close to home with me. I remembered taking that step to becoming a consultant when the company I worked with had a rough depression time. The project engineers had to take a 40 to 60% pay cut and yes I was one with the 60% cut. Though I decided to take servants pay my boss wanted me to say on for 2 additional months which I did. After the 2 months was over I went on into an unknown but exciting journey. It's almost 10 years and I haven't regret my decision. To this day, my exboss still seek my services for some assignment. With that being said, I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors.

    Hi Brendan, I'm currently an international student from Vietnam taking my first year of master of construction management in Melbourne. Is there any chance that I can get a part-time internship job prior to the work placement in the final year of uni without working experience in Australia? If not, what should I prepare to get a chance? I took my bachelor of civil engineering in Vietnam, so basically I'm familiar with structural engineering. I really hope you can give me some advice, thank you so much!!!!!

      Hi Tung, I started part time work prior in 2nd year you just need to find the right company. but it isnt easy as there isnt that many role around. being willing to keep learning, and if you get the oppitunity make good use for it. I reccomend all engineers if they can start working prior to graduation. hope you can find somewhere, you may need to take some structural engineering classes but engineering is the same all around the world.

    Hey Brendan! I am a student from UniMelb and you did pop in recenetly but I unfortunately couldnt'nt make it to the event. I am currently studying Masters of Civil Engineering (no specialisation, though I can still change to structural). I have done a few structural design related subjects and looking back, I can say that I enjoyed studying them. However, my question is regarding what particular field of Civil engineering (i.e. structural, hydraulics, geotechnical, etc.) has the greatest prospects in melbourne? (On a side note: you certainly got me with the zoom call entry ding at the beginning btw hahaha)

    I enjoy your insights and videos, I needed this in my early career years.
    Do you feel constrained about the topics you can talk about as your clients are government or larger corporations.
    My background is Construction and Civil and Building, coal fired power station and power transmission lines and many other projects.
    I have found that, in future power supply, that nuclear is a popular topic and obviously it is a huge business opportunity.
    Many are delighted with the zero CO2 and the new technologies.
    My concerns are real and unfortunately appear complex to many.
    I believe that Engineers are either lost in the technology and love it, or do not want to appear to be controversial.
    As many engineers are in a conservative business environment, do you agree.
    I believe only Construction Engineers can properly explain the downside but there is no upside to their career and we all have/had mortgages etc.
    Do you agree?
