- In this video, I give you my step by step process on how I would structural engineering if I could start over again. I also provide you with some of my recommended resources, explain some mindset theory behind great engineering, as well as things I did wrong and that I would avoid going back. Perhaps most importantly, I give you tips on adopting the correct mindset and mentality that will help you learn structural engineering faster and become better faster (these were my mistakes).

Share with a fellow engineer that you think needs to hear this. You're the best Team Kestava!
Completely agree with you. I studied all the way till masters but with a mindset of solving the problems similar to a maths problem. my approach was one dimensional - Read the data(load), apply the formulas, get the answer. Once I stepped into the professional industry I was scratching my head like when to apply what formula as I did not have the proper concept of what all checks need to be done for a member under certain conditions. I would say I learnt more at work than at college.
Only when I left school and the chaos then I realized the error in my ways, what you said about how to learn is absolutely right.
Adian - Im so glad you felt the same. I loved my schooling and think it provided a lot of great things for my professional career, but there is so much more "fluff" that i would exclude from the curriculum and fill with more professional focused material. We should be learning concepts because WE want to understand them and apply them, not study them because we are afraid of an upcoming test.
Don’t you think that maybe schooling isn’t being done right? I feel overwhelmed myaelf

Great work! Keep it up
This is a fantastic resource for people wanting to get into structural engineering! Huge work!
thank you for the compliment Aphex! SO much more coming to the channel!
This is very helpful, it helps me understand the topics that I need to learn first. I'm practicing structural engineering and I can relate with the topic you discuss to this vlog. Thank you!
anytime Keanne! I hope you continue with structural engineering!
Learn all of it...have great knowledge and responsibility...take on liability...get paid minimal. Welcome to civil engineering.
this also sounds like architecture
So good man! I've been guilty of a lot of this. It's too easy to become afraid of asking for help or getting paralysis by analysis. I started going back for an M.S. part time while working as a structural engineer full time, and now I find myself caring a lot more about learning things the "right" way in school instead of just enough to get problems right. Great video
I think we all have run into some of these issues as engineers. we have to learn so much so quickly that it can be an easy trap to fall into. Pumped to hear you knocking out the M.S. !
Bravo ! Keep going !
Thank you, I will! thanks for the support Teh!
All solid advice. Great video!
thanks man!
I'm a civil engineer (water/roads) and now Iast 3 months the company I'm with moved me to structural. Been in a structural engineering department, I've been lucky to have good mentorship and really enjoying it. This video is really helpful and applicable to me. Thanks.
I love to hear that! thanks for stopping into the auditorium!
Very helpful and instructive ,thanks
Glad you liked it
Awesome 👍😎
True. Sometime the culture in school makes you reliant on smart classmates' solution. That is frustrating tbh. I need to change.
Thanks a ton :)
Wow I am looking to become a structural engineer after my unrestricted CSL and this helps a ton
thats awesome to hear JP! cant wait for you to join the structural engineering community!
thanks for this video☺️
My pleasure 😊
I am lucky to have an old engineer eager to teach me.
im so glad you have that resource!
You should revisit this video every so often to see if your mind changes as technology is moving so fast. Building codes is being taken care of in programs and Ai now. So is that still top on your list, if so, why?
Great video @kestava_Engineering.
I was planning to relearn the strength of materials, and was wondering what the most ideal approach would be.. through MIT videos, or from a text book, offline.? All suggestions are welcome.
the MIT videos are a great source! if you are relearning for yourself then I would say to grab a text book as well. if you are being "forced" to learn then a text book is going to feel very dry.
Can i use those books in Europe or just in Usa ?
Why do you choose Structural engineering rather than other civil engineering fields?
Halo brother, may i ask a question ?
The mechanical electrical plumbing loads on house building structures, how much are those value that you ussually using on your project as a structural engineer ?
Thanx before brother..
for commercial structures I'd say roughly 4-6psf
What about residential houses brother ?
some construction companies have two or three branches around the country. are structural engineers want to move among these branch office to work?( I'm mean ,Suppose I am working in a main branch office of the company but the construction site is near the sub branch office. So should I shift from the main office to the sub office or can I continue working about the construction sites in the around the country from the main office?
thats a great question and you should absolutely have that discussion with your boss. I think it depends from company to company
@@Kestava_Engineering thank you very much for your response
if i could start over, i will read "Seismic Design of Reinforced Concrete Buildings by Jack Moehle" before reading the code
such a good one!
What if you have no one to ask for? Or no one want to help? Or you are the only engineer in the firm? I been to places where they expected me to know already. Can you please refer best book to self learn from? Never seen kind engineer like youself and myself who like to share what lesson you learned so other won't suffer what you go through. Thank you for sharing info. I really appericiate it. I always share what i learn when I can just like you. As far as i know ppl at work they think if they share what they know you will get better than you so that's the big problem. Could you share knowledge on how you design entire 2 stories house by hand and also how to read result of software report? Also how to read code book. Code book are confusing to read. English is a bit challenging for me.
all really great topics to talk about Mie nge! and I think your English is pretty amazing, much better than my second language! Always work at a firm / company that retains engineers that share and help each other out. PERIOD! Don't surround yourself with others who are scared to share what they know in fear of you surpassing them. Your career is an important part of your life, and you should always do what's best for your development.
@@Kestava_Engineering Thank you for your kind respond I hope to find a place with kind engineer who want to see me succeed. So far only seen ppl who told me they suffer multiple years to get to where they are so they won't teach me in 30 min of what they learned in years. Would you do course of real life design or PE, SE?
I am a fresher, suffered a lot in such a toxic environment and resigned the job. I tried hardly to get something from my senior, but he always made me disappointed. It took months to get recover from that trauma. Now I'm okay but jobless. But, for sure will find a better one soon. Thanks for sharing this.
@@pK-uk5nehello I'm in the same situation could u pls share me resources if u have
Im in the similar situation can u help me too
how old are you?
I only clicked because of your thumbnail and u didn't talk about book sequence
Civil Engineer with a M.S.in structures or a B.S. in Structural Engineering?
I think both options are really great, but if you KNOW you want to be a structural engineer then I'd say go with the BS in structural engineering. get through school and then rock the professional world
is there a way to become a structural engineer if youre an architect? Is it gonna be a 2 year master or do I start from scratch in university, meaning 4 years?
I agree but I want to pass ... how can i have my cake and eat it too
