My Civil Engineering Degree in 20 Minutes

- Ever wondered what it looks like to be a civil engineering undergraduate student? In this video, I'll go over everything, my college background, courses, GPA, and percentage of knowledge I use on my job as a construction engineer now.
I got my civil engineering degree from the University of Washington from 2012-2015. I was lucky that I knew what I wanted to do going into college. I attribute a lot of my "success" to getting experience through internships in the summers between my years, and getting a head start with AP classes from high school. Civil engineering is not a crazy thing to major in for college, but it is a very fun and fulfilling degree. You don't need to be perfect in college and have perfect grades, to me, it's the experience you get outside of the classroom that will separate you from your engineering peers.

"Yup i gotta deal with stuff that doesnt move" I couldnt agree more LOL
Keeps it simple! Haha
@@KienenKoga yeah I’m currently taking statics and I love it so far
SAME
Yes to a vid on your masters too!
Okay!

Great video
Answered a lot of questions for me since ill soon graduate and it takes away a bit of the fear i had since i dont always have the best grades
Im from hondudas by the way
I love you’re content man. It’s full of dry humor and some low ball trolling 🤣🤣
Hahaha I appreciate it!
I love love to hear about your master degree
I LOVE this video. I like that you proved you don't need a perfect GPA to be a successful engineer, and that most of it you don't even use! I was hoping that after your internship, the classes would become more relevant and useful, but alas... that's college. I definitely think you should do another one on your Master's to supplement your previous video.
Thanks so much Ashlyn!

PSU sophomore CE student here! This video was very insightful ty
Loved hearing what’s actually applicable vs not applicable! Also the transparency
Thanks Mari!
Thank you!! New subscriber!
Very interesting that such a large portion of your courses weren't that interesting to you. I studied civil engineering for 1 year before switching to mechanical engineering, and it was without a doubt the hardest decision I've had to make in my life so far. Mainly because I started out with civil instead of mechanical engineering because I don't really care much about electronics and control, and civil basically has none of that. And also because at my university there is a research group within structural engineering that looks at offshore structures with a big focus on hydrodynamic modelling of wind turbines and wave energy converters, which sounds super interesting and I could absolutely see myself doing that.
But the focus on fluid mechanics and wind turbines only starts when you get to the masters, and having to get through 2 years of courses and projects that for the most part didn't sound that interesting sounded like it wasn't worht it. But having seen your experience of college it has made me reconsider whether or not I should be patient and go for the structural engineering masters instead of mechanical engineering.
As a civil engineer, this was an Awesome video! Thank you so much Kienen for helping us bridge the gap between the academic side of civil engineering vs your real life job experiences.😀

perfect vid to watch after writing a sustainable construction midterm :)
Hahaha awesome! Hope you did well!
A Civil engineer TH-camr? AUTO SUB! It’s my last year in high school and I honestly can’t wait for college.
Jake Vorhees is also a Civil Engineer
Powwow was definitely a good GPA booster and Cultivate was a great place to use that dining plan!! Go Dawgs!
Lol legends made in that class
when the video started I was wondering how you felt about matlab... I'm glad im not alone
Not me being addicted to your vids now
Lol i appreciate it!
Yeah a video on your masters would be great, need to know how useful it is for your job
Good to know. Thanks!
Can you please make a video about the grad school experience and courses? Thanks a lot for helping us out 😊

Dear Kienen, you have a really good GPA, brother!! I admire your courage to become an Out-of-State Student because UW's Out-of-State tuition is like $38k per year...
Yes!! Please do the same video on your Master's Degree, I am applying this Fall 2021 as well. Kienen, you are my role model, brother.
I also didn't know you took the following two classes:
* Construction Methods and Equipment
* Traffic Engineering
I want to work for the contractor who maintains, repair, or build highways 🛣 when I obtain my degree. This is why those two classes seem appealing to me.
Thanks Chifung! Keep up the good work!

Classes I use in my career as of today, Structural Analysis and Steel Design, everything else is AutoCad and Excel bro lmao. Oh and I just happened to take an accounting class for shits and it came in more handy than every class I took not listed here lol
lol sounds about right
Hey Kienen, did you have any involvement with clubs in college (ie ASCE, AGC, XE, etc.)? In my experience, industry professionals really advocated for students to get involved with engineering related clubs to have the ability to start networking with the industry and gain some experience more relatable to the real world. Many friends gained internships and jobs out of college through some of these programs and in my experience it was a resume buster.
I’m curious to know if your university/local industry (Washington and/or Hawaii) made any similar pushes toward club involvement. I’d like to hear your perspective, and maybe this could be another video that goes along with this and the masters video 🤷♂️.
Anyway, sorry to write so much, and thanks for reading!
No worries I appreciate you commenting! Personally I did not; it probably wasnt as big a deal since i went to school in WA and worked in Hawaii. But for me i got my job due to my performance in my internship which means more to a company than extra curriculars in college in my opinion
You are realistic, you can be a good lucturer but being an engineer is best. I am a 3rd year student in prison doing a BTEC civil engineering qualification your site is very much useful to me.
thanks so much Licius! Best of luck to you!
My high school did trimesters, so calling it quarters in college always sounded funny 😂
Hey Kienen, I'm currently a geotech EIT and wanting to switch to construction. You mentioned wanting to get your PE license. I'm debating switching into construction now or waiting until after I take the geotech PE exam and completing the required four years of experience for the license. I'm currently at three years of experience, so almost there, but can't really see myself staying in geotech much longer. What do you see as being the main benefit of having a PE as an engineer in construction? I've really enjoyed your videos. Thanks!
The benefit it more a “prestige” and just having another tool in the tool belt. You will need to have a PE sign off on your experience so maybe stick it out for a bit just to get it done. You can definitely thrive in the construction industry without a PE, however. Most higher ups probably dont have their PE

Hey awesome video! I am finishing my last quarter in undergrad at UW in the CM program. Was getting your masters worth it?

Thanks for the video! My question would be, how do I make sure I successfully read through a submittal and spot check it enough for it to be right though. I came out w/a Mechanical Engineering degree and definitely feel I’m missing stuff.

Can you do a video on how you got your first internship? I attended 2 career fairs these past couple weeks, talked with 7 companies and so far haven't heard back from any one of them 😣

Thanks alot,
Great video! Yes please make a masters video
Thanks Zac!
i did really bad on statics and hydraulics, both got a C. As a CEM student, should i retake those?
It would be a good thing if you make a video base on the subjects needed in higth to get in to the any construction collage🤔
Thanks for the suggestion!
No pro it would help other to know the subjects that are important
Will it be good to finish a graphic design associate before the Bachelors in Civil Engineering or it will be a waste of time? Please i need your opinion as soon as possible.
As a civil engineer are you able to get a lisence for architecture so you do house plans
Are the academic classes hard ? Starting in August. Want to prepare as best i can .
G.O.A.T my boi
Hahahaha nah, but I appreciate it!
Graduated from Construction Management. I can honestly say I've learned more in the my job then when I was in college hha. So anyone studying Engineering or Construction take on as many internships you can while in college.
Well said!
I’m majoring in construction management as well. Was it easy finding a job? Are you satisfied with the pay? And what is your job and do you like it? Sorry for the several questions but i’m nervous i won’t find a decent pay job in Texas
@@sebrinasser1495 I got an job offer my last semester. I'd say my internship helped a lot getting me a job and also networking. I started at 61K out of college to now making 6 figures. Started out as a field engineer to QA Manager to now a superintendent. I've chosen the travel route which to me is the easiest to climb the ladder. So I've been all over the country. I like it that way it's exciting for me.
@@townmiles8691 Glad to hear, do you have a work-life balance and are you overall happy with your career? Also what state are you based in? Sorry if i’m asking a lot, Idk many ppl that majored in this so i’m reaching out to others, any advice? thanks for your time
@@sebrinasser1495 When I was green in the field there wasn't any life balance due to the large project. But that's something you gotta prioritize and list what's important for you. I have a family so they come first. I find projects that fits that life style. The job I have now allows me to go to work and able to have time with my family. I'm in SC doing T&D work.
Could you do a video on networking/job searching in construction engineering?
Still making my way through all your videos, huge thanks for your hard work helping us all along. Currently switching from mechanical to civil to move into construction!

@@juanit0tackit0tackito2 thank you mr. Tackito
Master’s vid would be dope!
Sounds good! Thanks!
Yes, can you do a video on your master's degree, I want to know what is the difference,
should someone get a master degree in another subject or master civil engineer, and if it is true that the master’s is easier than the bachelor's
will do! My master's was easier than my bachelors. For me, the masters is more to show that I completed a higher education, not necessarily that I have more knowledge applicable to my job.
@@KienenKoga Thank you
I wanted to be a civil engineer but I feel like I don't have the confidence to achieve it. I'm only an average student. I can understand topics but would took me weeks to fully grasp on it.
lmao my concrete prof said the same thing about calculus this term:"only three period u need to use calculus. high school, university, and teach ur students cal when u get older "
Brother I'm from India and I completed Bachelor of Engineering in Civil and suggest me that how to get jobs in US and master degrees are compulsory..?and what type of qualities are needed to work there..?
You should definitely make a video about you masters program and experience and if you think it’s worth getting. I’m in my masters program at LSU and starting to think there’s not much benefit in getting it
Totally feel you on that. For me it was more about the potential in the future, maybe 10-15 years down the line. But is the material really that much more beneficial? Probably not, which is why i try to suggest to get a cheaper masters while you work and gain that industry knowledge. Best if luck to you Michael!
@@KienenKoga Thanks, I’m actually going to switch gears completely and start coding while I’m a CM. I see the two industries intertwining with each other in the future.
Does civil engineering in America have board exam to be a licensed CE like us here in the philippines?
Hey Kienen, I’m a 16 year old who is trying to figure out do with life, I was researching colleges in Hawaii and I want to be a psychologist, any advice college or careers like psychology in Hawaii?
Very cool, im sure University of Hawaii has a program. Not quite sure about the industry, but Im sure there are jobs out here for that! Hawaii is big on relationships so if you go to college here it can open a lot of doors for you
I strongly disagree- all those courses are fundamental to inherently understanding and thinking in an intuitive way as an engineer. Just because you aren't using those topics specifically or solving an integral does not mean it should not be learned. Working as an engineer is different, but it is critical to have the foundation from such classes at work. And even if your specific job doesn't use topics from a class, does not deem it irrelevant to the field in general. Also, Dynamics is not just for mechanical engineers. It is an important subject to model many things in Civil projects as well
Would Love to see a video about your Masters! Also would the transition from Structural to Construction be an easy one?
It’ll be different for sure, but likely more fast paced

Thank you!
Your master on civil engineering, how was it
What is your masters in? I'm studying civil eng and looking to go into a construction engineering masters program next yr but some professors are saying that's too niche a degree.
my masters degree is in civil engineering, but focused on construction. Personally if you want to go into construction, I would suggest going into the industry before or simultaneously while getting your masters.
Did you think it online school is better than a traditional school? I want to get in construction management but I work full time?
I would say online is better to just get the degree so you can continue to work. From an actual learning standpoint, I feel in person is always better
Hi Kienen, I am high school student who is vigorously interested in this field of study, but I am dying to know the difference between Construction engineers, Civil engineers, and Structural engineers.
Awesome Edward! I may make a whole video on this later, but in a nutshell, construction engineers focus more on how the project gets built, civil engineers focus on the infrastructure, grading, and more ground work type stuff and structural engineers will focus on the vertical design of a project.
Are civil engineers respected in your country. Here in the UK, everybody thinks the architect does everything.
Good man
thanks Paul!
Was there a gap between your degrees?
Any online degree programs?
I want to be in the construction field as well, but I don’t know if to major in civil engineering or constitution management...
I usually suggest if the engineering aspect interests you, go for civil engineering because it can open more doors for you in my opinion in the event you want to move away from construction. However, if you know construction is what you want, then CM has more applicable coursework to the industry and is likely a little easier to complete.
@@KienenKoga Thank you for taking the time to reply! Love the channel!
I go to UW and I am Studying Construction Management.
How was that General Chem 142 weed out lol
Lol the best learning comes from Kane hall
Wow ,
I an pursuing UG civil engineering ,
The real question is why do I have to do chemistry right now when I’m just a civil engineering student 😭
Lol agreed
@@KienenKoga also I’m taking multivariable calc right now and I thought it would be useful in construction. And I’m just finishing the video it’s crazy that most of your degree you don’t use in real life lol
💰
If you will be doing wastewater plant design work...Chemistry might be helpful
You use chemistry a lot in environmental quality related stuff. Maybe waste water treatment.
The cover pic is funny man 🤣🤣
Haha thanks!
Wow, you did double major in civil and environmental engineering?
Haha no, its just what the degree is called. Sounds better than it is yeah haha
How
And advice of students who are
In higth school and going for constrution
Try as early as you can to get internships and experience
@@KienenKoga ok
@SamS 101 thanks
How old are you man
Is civil engineering the same thing as construction management
Both degrees can become construction managers. However civil engineering holds more weight than a construction management degree and you will have more options/opportunities than just a construction degree.
Well said Michael!
@@michaeljaf5734 ok but doesn’t a civil engineering degree cost more than construction management degree
Can you set subtitle for video?
I thought was automatic. I’ll look into it
Hi
Higth school
You didn't mention about the usefulness of fluid mechanics, because I HATE IT🤣🤣🤣
What benefits does Master's degree provide for you😐😶?
Not much as of now honestly lol its more for the future in the event my career changes, starting to look at higher level promotions etc
PE Construction engineer license?
Yup! Hopefully I pass the test! Lol
First to comment
Thanks!
9.2% is about the same number for me 😂
Hahaha kind of sad when you think about it right?
