im a civil engineer student in my 2nd year wish me luck guys
Good luck!!!
Which college bro
Good Luck!!
موفق يا حبيبنا ❤
Good luck bro me myself is looking to become a civil engineer I am only in 9th grade
Keep it up man, we need more civil engineering content on this platform 😤
Thank you! I definitely will :)
Clicked on this video because I’m considering changing my major to engineering. Didn’t realize I’d get the first hand experience from someone also in Sacramento lol. Thank you for your insight.
I am impressed by the quality of the office gym.
They’ve added more to it slowly over time. It is pretty legit now!
"Engineering is 20% technical and 80% communication" - said by my first lecturer, and I will never forget it!
Keep it up 👍 we need more civil engineering content in this platform ✊🏻
Too many ads on this vid
Let me come back here 5 yrs after I grab my civil engineering degrees 😊❤
I’m doing my 2nd year Civil Engineering in UCT,in my final year I’m gonna go with either Transport or Water Treatment!🔥
That’s great to hear. Let us know what you end up deciding on!
What did you decide on going into? I'm interested in Transportation but that's it tbh I'm still trying to decide what I want to do.
What are you deciding
Great content! It's quite insightful seeing how your job involves a lot of social interaction (emails, calls, etc...) than resolving technical issues.
Although I am curious about the parking lot though you mentioned (5:52), could you do a video on that? Maybe some tips and insights on parking lots?
Keep up the great work!
Cheers!
Thank you, glad you liked it! I can't do a specific video because it's a work-related situation I can't disclose too much about. If I could, I would've spoke more about it in the video. If there is an interesting topic about parking lots in general, I would be happy to do a topic about it. I'll have to do some thinking on this one.
@@ByronTang yes, a video on parking lots in general would be much appreciated.
watchingyou type, i'm pretty sure u will be happy if this reaches you... instead of spamming backspace... try ctrl+backspace to delete an entire word instead of 1 character.
Good catch! Thank you for that amazing tip! 👍
Awesome video! Thanks for the content❤️🚀
Happy you liked it!
Glad to see you back to the office, thanks for sharing, I expected you have some fieldwork for today, the candy you brought looks yummy
next time if it possible shares with us the most important software program you used for traffic analysis and some fieldwork, for me it nice to be in the fieldwork from time to time. thanks again looking forward to more videos.
Hi Yousra! Thank you. I wanted to show fieldwork too but my schedule and the rain made it difficult. I'll have to try and make sure to include some fieldwork for the next day in the life video.
I am in my Third year of engineering and will I plan to work in core company.
I was searching for some motivation as many of Peers will prepare for government exams and many will switch to IT.
Great content. Can you share your professional experiences and learning for the aspiring traffic/transportation engineers. For instance, books, journals, softwares, skills and the like. In addition to it, job opportunities, competition, salaries, growth prospects etc.,
Hi! I definitely do try to share some of this on my channel and there is a lot more to talk about. I’ll see what ideas I can come up with this for future videos.
I’m glad I work for a GC
I just graduated recently in high school and my college degree be a bachelor of science in civil engineering
Great choice!
I'm graduated this year.(civil engineering) is there any chance to work in your place?
Congrats on your graduation! Right now we don't have any openings, so not at the moment. But if there are in the future, I may post it in the Community section of this channel.
@@ByronTang yeah thank you ❤️ I'm waiting for your post .and I'm from India
Bean Rice Jesus Christ and Byron
Bro if I had that quick little breakfast I would loose 10 pounds😂
😅
Can you do a video about working for public vs private sectors?
This is a great idea. I’ll see what ideas I can explore with it and think about adding it to the queue. Thanks for the suggestion!
Glad to see your content, Byron! I'm a 3rd year Civil Engineering student from Indonesia, very interested in Transport Engineering and related things. But my university doesn't provide many courses for that, here in ITB mostly we study about structure (but in the final year we can choose the courses we want). I'm asking for your opinion (based on your experience as a Traffic Engineer) is it better if I directly take Master study about Transport Eng or look for a job to have a direct experience? Thanks before 😁
Hi Yohana! Thank you! Most transportation engineers have a civil engineering degree so they only take a couple classes at most when it comes to transportation. I know that was the case for me. I see more people getting their masters now and it could be beneficial, but I still think having direct related experience is the strongest and most important. So my answer is if you had to choose between the two, direct experience is more preferable. A lot of what you learn on the job will be very different than what is taught in classes and you want to have that on your resume.
@@ByronTang I see..I get it, thank you Byron for the insight!
Why are right turn signals with three or five section signals being replaced with four section flashing yellow arrows?
I don't think I've ever seen that. It must be rare. I want to guess that it is being used to caution drivers to yield when turning because of pedestrians or some other kind of conflict that is occurring. Do you have a location of where it is implemented?
@@ByronTang There are four section flashing right turn arrows at Newton Road and Virginia Beach Boulevard in Norfolk, Va. There are dual four section right turn flashing yellow arrows on S. Concord Pwky and US 601 in Corncord, Nc.
@@computernerd5009 It looks like streetview is only updated for the one in Norfolk so I can only see that one. Although more rare than the flashing left yellow, it looks like the flashing right yellow serves the same purpose to allow drivers to make the turn but warn them to watch and yield to conflicts (from either pedestrians or other vehicles making a left or u-turn). Without knowing any context, this leads me to believe that the intersection has a higher rate of collisions that the city/county is trying to reduce.
Is there a dress code at work?
Hello! Civil engineering student here!
Hi! Welcome! Awesome, I see you also play the piano :) Thank you for watching!
@@ByronTang thank you! Goodluck po sir engr!
i was here
quick question: Do you ever use the subjects you learned in College such as Statics, Structural Analysis, Mechanics of Materials, etc . . . . If you do how often, and what is the highest level course you use?
I don't use many courses except for the Transportation-related design & analysis courses. The work I do is fairly specialized, so there is no need to use statics, structural analysis, etc.
Do you recommend going into industrial engineering or civil? For a person that isn’t into math a lot but likes engineering jobs
I'm not an industrial engineer but I do know that the math requirements is at least the same level of civil for completing your studies. What an industrial engineer works on is very different from a civil and I think a lot of it will come down to personal preference. But if you are looking to avoid math, I wouldn't say it is a better path in that regard.
rn i study civil engineering, im still a freshman tho. i have thoughts & doubts about myself & decisions abt this major but at the same time i feel like i can do this bcs im found of this interesting major, after watching this video of yours i would say i want to become a civil engineer one day!
That’s awesome! I hope you enjoy your studies and have a rewarding career :)
I want to pursue a career in building and construction civil engineering, but I'm unsure about career paths, opportunities, income, and growth. Can someone offer guidance and insights to help me make an informed decision?
Many thanks
Which is best in terms of earning money and work ease...
Civil engineering or software engineering ? If you have interest in both
It's a complicated answer. For just money, software engineers should be making more, but the type of work is very different. Also, there are a lot of layoffs going on right now in the software/tech industry, so it's not always as stable. Maybe I should do a video about this sometime.
@@ByronTangI think you should make a video on this topic.. This is question of many people
Im just getting in the collage and i took civil engineering hope this turns out well and wish me luck 🤞
That’s awesome. Good luck!!!
What software do you use for retiming signals and coordinating signals?
Synchro is a common one used here in the US and the first one I learned.
Can i know what salary does traffic engineer get in the US ?
It can vary depending on experience level and location. I make approximately $130,000 USD at a senior level
❤❤❤👍👍👍
Hay quá
Does civil engineering mean u work in sun 🌞 all day with low salary under architects??
Not at all, only some jobs will be like that? I work in traffic & transportation engineering. It's a branch of civil engineering where you don't really work with architects. I also don't spend that much time out in the field. Really depends on what job and role you have.
Byron Tang what's your skill level and experience, how much do you earn annually
I work at the senior engineer level with about ~12 years experience. Salary is somewhere around 150K-160K
Hi sir. Im from india and have completed my diploma in civil engineering. Now, i have 3 years of management and supervision experience. My request is, could you please suggest any job titles that i can apply for?
Hello! If you have 3 years of management and supervision in civil engineering, you should be able to apply for a lower management position in civil engineering or a project manager position. If you are applying internationally, you may need to check if the firm/organization will allow that.
@@ByronTang Thank you, sir
Did you opt for masters in traffic engineering before gettin into the job or did u join right after your bachelor in civil engineering ?
Hi! I do not have a masters in traffic engineering. Having a masters was not necessary to enter the workforce when I graduated. It can help, but acquiring relevant experience is the most important.
@@ByronTang Thanks for the videos. It must be really hectic making videos and working as a full time and also look after your family.shall be following your videos, really informative. Thanks for working hard on making it .
@@Up71V4C3i Thank you for following and supporting! You are right, very busy times right now but I am working on a different way of making videos so I can post more regularly in the future. Stay tuned :)
@@ByronTang sure .
hi Byron, I am from Asia and I studied Transportation and communication mangagement science in my bachelor, which may be so confusing but actually I studied transportation flow, safety, management, engineering, economics. I would like to proceed my studies in Europe, should I choose civil engineering or just a random transport degree? I would like to do the AI part with softwares but also the technical part.
I personally think a civil engineering degree opens more doors but if you want to stick to software and work in AI, a civil engineering degree won’t really help on that part. If you want to know design and construction, a civil engineering degree will be valuable. Without knowing exactly what you want, I would try looking at job postings of jobs you want and see what degrees and experiences are preferred.
Sir do you earn 150k dollars a year? Plz reply. Thanks a lot.
Hire me after I graduate
my
Why are you wearing a mask alone?
What is your thoughts about doing masters in civil engineering in japan
Would need to know a lot more context about the situation. Are you currently living in Japan? If not, is there a reason why to choose Japan?
I'm not in japan but I want to move to Japan because I like this country😁
exquisite content big dawg
Thank you!
Brother do companies give training to new passout because they only have theoretical knowledge
Love from Bangladesh🇧🇩. Your content is very nice.I pray you go further.background music very emotional.Please give me the link of tha music💖💖💖💖
Hi! Thank you for watching! Was this the music you were talking about? elements.envato.com/a-hip-hop-piano-loop-YMAMPZJ
Yes,thank you very much bro💖💖💖but why Don't you post video every day
I wish I could post everyday. I am still making videos but raising a baby takes most of my time. I am also very busy at work. There will be new videos coming. Thank you for being patient!
Great
What time do you code
Unfortunately in my country they don’t care about engineers when it’s my dream job 😢
What country?
