- 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 :)

WHO AM I:
I’m Ben, a graduate 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.
I just finished my 3rd year of civil engineering. Your videos are the most helpful channel about structural engineering I have ever seen so far. Please keep going. Very good luck to you.
Thanks so much! Glad you are finding the videos helpful :)
Payments are very less. Risky job. Bad profession
@@shishirdhawade2613maybe in india, but in australia civil engineers are one of the highest payed professions in the country
Thank you so much I'm really enjoy to watch your videos I'm geotechnical engineer from Algeria your content is very interesting
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
Hello from your western neighbour!! I am a second year Civil engineering student. Your channel is very helpful, keep producing great content !!!
Thank you!!
Great content! Can't wait to see your channel get the attention it deserves 🙌
Thank you! I’m so happy you are enjoying my videos :)

Thank you! I’m happy to hear you like it :)
thanks alot for this, love from a final year civil engineering student
My pleasure!
I'm second year Structural engineering student thanks for the great contents!
My pleasure! Thanks for the comment :)
Geeking out right now. I really want to become a civil engineer! I'm a Junior in High School, love what you do. Keep it up man!
Thanks!
Really nice Video . very easy to understand the process. Now my team will fully understand building process .
Thank you!
Thank you for the insight bro
You’re welcome!
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.
Nice to see a young college. Keep it up with the good job. Here from Saint Kitts and Nevis
Thank you!!
Amazing Content. We need more content related to structural engineering.
Thank you and more coming soon! :)

Could make video on how you proceed with the design, step by step after getting architectural drawings
thanks for this video. I am a student major in civil engineering from China and I want to go abroad for further study. Your videos helps me a lot in learning professional English words.
My pleasure! Glad it helped :)
Great content
Very helpful
Thanks! Glad to hear it helps :)
Extremely informative
Thanks!
Godspeed to your channel! These are very informative for aspiring structural engineer like me💗
Thank you!!
I'm in my 3rd year of civil Engineering. (I'm about to finish...I'll be writing my 2nd semester exams in two weeks time 😅)
Ur videos are really inspiring. I plan to become a structural engineer as well. It seems so fun and hard at the same time.... That's y I love it😭😂🤝
*Subscribed ❤️*
Thanks and good luck with your exams! :)
pretty good rundown .
Thanks Deepak! :)
awesome content! liked and subbed!
Thank you!
cool man, really cool. thanks.
I hope to become an engineer myself, but studying is really really hard.
I'm more interested about energy and stuff (I'm enrolled in a energy engineering university course), but your videos are super interesting.
Thanks! I know studying can be a drag for some people but it’s only a short term thing so you just have to persevere and try your best to enjoy it :)
Hello !!!
Great video,keep it up.
In what program was that multi storey building designed ?
Hey Thanks! This building was modelled in spacegass :)
Thanks, prospective Msc structural engineering student
My pleasure!
amazing sir 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you!!
@@BEngHielscheryou are welcome😊
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.
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! In engineering, do we still get to make designs(/learn how to do so) like in architecture? If not, should I get a degree in engineering and a master in architecture for the more design + art part? I’m very new to all of this so tysm for the video!! Helped a lot.
really interesting. Saludos 👍
Thank you! :)

Awesome video! What camera are you using for the video?
Thanks! This is filmed using an iPhone 11 Pro Max
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 love your content. I'm a first year mechanical engineering student, who would love to work in the civil engineering sector btu they don't have it at my school. Is it possible to become a structural engineer with a mechanical background? Your videos have helped me a lot in deciding my interests!!!
I would say it’s possible but I think you would need to do a structural engineering masters. How else would you learn structural design principles and procedures ?
Is structural design majoring profitable?
What is the most popular and profitable field designing steel structures or concrete structures?
Sir I have completed my graduation in civil engineering 2023 but i want to work as a structural engineer.
Is there any possibility to work under you? I am from India
Cool video , good job 👍
Is a bachelor's usually enough to start designing in structural engineering or is a master's a bare minimum to begin?
Thanks! In Australia you only need to do a 4 year bachelors degree :)
@@BEngHielscher thanks Ben
What software for design and analysis are you using on MaacOS ?
All the engineering design and analysis software I use is used on windows laptop :)
David Goggins in the background
What kind of software do you use for the statical calculation?
ftool
Halo Mr Ben, i am Adrianus from Indonesia. May i ask you something ?
On your design project, how big is the value of the MEP load on the building that ussually you use on it ?
(MEP load on departement store building, office building, hospital building, and residental building)
Hey this project is only for illustration purposes so I haven't modelled any MEP loads :)

I was asking about this to Mr Brendan Hasty, and i am so thanksfull to him because he was giving me the answer.

But im building Residencial house and I good at it.but I need to be come a structural Engineer. Help with the information a person like me. Where can I start to be come what I want 😢
Hi there, I have just wrapped up my B.E. Civil Engineering. Now I wanna continue my education in structure Engineering. But for I have approximately 6 months to apply in any University. Please guide me what should I do in these months so that It will boost my career.
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 :)
I would be really surprised if you had a colour red on the top of that building from thumbnail. 🤔😂✌️
which structural engineering software do you use?
In this video I show Spacegass
0:04 : Btw, this is Bank from Indonesia. And you know, I'm from Indonesia
Oh cool!
I want a job bro, how can I get one in Australia?

Brother Beng as a student going for structural engineering, what kind of job should I be looking into if possible to start gaining experience? And or programs? Thanks!
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 :)
I'm in Construction and I really love to be come structural Engineer. Hw hw can I start cz I dropped education cz of problems now I'm running my small company of Construction I wnt to upgrade myself. Where can I start to be a structural Engineer 😢
University! All structural engineers have a Bachelors or Masters degree in structural engineering. So if you want to do it that’s the place to go :)
How long do engineers do all those things for a certain project?
It really depends on the size of the project. For a big multi-storey building it could be months and for a residential house it could be a week :)
@@BEngHielscher may I also ask do structural engineers work on one project at a time or multiple?
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.
please i shall need
Don’t give the architect too much credit. Non-building structures don’t require the involvement of the architect.

I thought it was Architects who design buildings? 🤔
Architects design the look of buildings, Engineers take it from there
In other words. architects dream it, structural eng turn the dream into reality...
Struct engg is risky profession.And fees are very less. I think struct engg deserve less. I see many starve.
Also Provide me your Instagram account or whatever source so that I will be in touch with you in future ☺️
Hey I don’t really use Instagram right now so the best place to contact me is through this channel. Just leave another comment :)
Specify the software that will enhance my structure analysis and design skills?
Some sort of steel design software would be good. A popular one in Australia is spacegass
