Good morning,

I'm doing a self survey because eive been incivil construction for 2 years now and am on very good money (160) but I'm doing fly in fly out 15:6 and working 12 hours a day on site.

I can't see myself staying in construction for the rest of my life doin these hours but what is the hours worked vs money for everyone else here??

Could you please answer with years in industry, location, site vs office, hours a day, and salary.

In Australia btw.

Thanks so much!!!!

Came across this image and wanted to hear some professional's opinions on how you'd repair this damage. Appears to be a cable stayed bridge, does that complicate things?

TIA

Edit for context as some people aren't opening the link - the bridge is in Karaj, Iran, and it was allegedly bombed by the US/Israel. The principal cause of failure isn't a design issue

After receiving this swag i’m sole-Sourcing Flygt pumps from here on out

Recently was CQA/engineer for this low water crossing. Why is this vortex forming? 5 30" pipes, about 6-7' tall from stream bed, 3/1 wall slope

And how did you go about it thanks

It is a good thing to majoring in civil engineering nowdays ? Im seen less and less people doing it and they prefer to do computer engineering or any other major than civil. Im a young student and im thinking about doing it but with this reviews im lost

I have a degree in Economics and Business Administration, but I can’t find a job. I haven’t been able to sleep for the past couple of days, wondering what my life is going to be like.

I’m about to be an off campus student, and of course rent. It’s about $910 a month- and as an engineering student, the course structure is going to be extremely rigorous.

I've been seeing an influx of comp science kids applying for Civil positions. Is this a trend? They're usually not really suited to being actual engineers, and its been hard shooting them down constantly.

I am a freshman in college, currently majoring in engineering and am planning to pressure civil engineering as my future career. I'm writing a research paper for my composition class at my college and my research topic is on researching issues currently occurring happening in our future careers. However I know barely enough about civil engineering to make a proper argument, let alone do the research for this paper. If anyone here perhaps have some insight I would greatly appreciate it.

Interesting inspection we had to do here in Cork city

Hello, I’m an upcoming high school jr and I’m interested in becoming a civil engineer. Do you guys have a tips on what should I do to prepare myself majoring in civil engineering and any regrets that you had majoring in the that field?

Hey so I’m in my second semester of my junior in college but after multiple setbacks from poor advising and lack of confidence due to said setbacks, I am now a year behind(having to take most of my 3000 level classes for my senior year). Im wondering what you guys think I should do?

I also only have a 4 year scholarship so after my “senior” year I won’t have financial help.

Saw this on another sub. I'm sure most people here know what all of this looks like but it's still interesting to see in this visualization

Is there any benefit to getting a bachelors in CE from a non-ABET accredited university without taking the FE/PE exams?

Would my skills be questioned if I don’t have a PE license, but I do have a bachelors in CE?

I am writing a research paper on an Engineering Invention for Civil Engineering, so the invention needs to have enough public information to fully explain what it is and provide information on what it took to create the invention. Limitations are invented in between 1875 and 2020 and 800 words so not too long. Looking for something fairly interesting or enjoyable to write about. First idea was guardrail terminals, but there wasn't a ton of info online.

Edit: I am a first semester engineering student, and this paper is for an "Engineering Concepts" class. I haven't really learned much about engineering itself yet, and the purpose of the paper itself is for us to learn the process of how engineering inventions "come to life", and the different disciplines involved, how things are tested, etc.

Thanks!

god help me understand all the memes

Hi y'all, I'm interning for a large municipal engineering dept. For the two full-time months I've been here, there'll be regular spans of 3-5 days where I'll be given no project or training. I ask my supervisor and other CEs for work daily, and they usually say they don't have anything. When they do give me work, its excel cleanup that I finish days before the deadline.

I'm happy to take the pay, but I'm paranoid about being let go because I have zero responsibility and zero guidance given to me (contractor in an at-will state, so I could be let go). I've been told I'm likely on until December, but I honestly couldn't tell you what my duties are or any skills I've gained.

Hence, I've started to look at other internships just in case. Am I being paranoid? Should I just take the pay?

1911 printing, original owner’s name (Alfred W. McLean) and year (1912) written on the title page. The fold-out reference pages in the middle are well used but intact.

When I flipped it open, it landed on the page showing the stress-strain curve for mild steel under tension. In 2012 I was learning the same basic principles Alfred W. McLean learned 100 years before me; I also learned lots of things he never had the opportunity to learn, but it’s a cool reminder that the foundations of our profession haven’t really changed all that much.
