One of the biggest lessons I learned that they don't teach you in school is do not be afraid to be conservative if it allows you to consolidate member sizes. If you can choose a few member sizes to support an entire floor rather than 20 different member sizes, no one is going to care if some of those beams are oversized.

Great advice! As a newer structural engineer, these lessons continue to ring true every day.

And here I am, a 2nd year irregular BSCE Major in Structural Engineering student who is currently retaking Integral Calculus which is the fundamental prerequisite to Statics, Dynamics, and Mechanics.

It's gonna be a fun few years :)

Relying solely on CAD software is so dangerous, because they have weaknesses hidden in the programming assumptions that are not yet exposed.

There are also innumerable Code requirements and Table entries that do not express the reasons, written in blood, that have led to their existance.

Started having flashbacks when he said connections. That’s not easy.

Did you know that in California making new states laws for climate change like cities and/or counties allow make climate resilience districts use any funds(taxes, grants) for improving any eligible projects that have high risk of wildfire, Flooding, sea level rise, extreme heat or cold, etc ( ca laws bill SB- 852- Dodd). For California state department of transportation have to improve highway systems for wildlife animals( ca laws bill AB- 2344 - Friedman and Kalra). Housing zoning will keep changing because climate change by state mandated local program( ca laws bill AB-1445- Levine).

Dont study engineering and go study finance. Much more lucrative. More money doing less work.
