Thanks guys.
Dik - As for the speed thing, I guess you're right in that it can be slower, but I'll have to explore it more to learn whether or not this could be an issue bad enough to discard it as an option.
JohnPlumSE - I find VB to be pretty useful into doing repetitive stuff in Excel...
I wonder if any Structural Engineers/Designers use software tools developed by them by coding instead of relying on calculations made in Mathcad (Prime or otherwise), or Maple (Maplesoft), etc.
I ran accross this book (Python for Civil and Structural Engineers -...
Hello guys, thanks for the orientation. I have experience in business development that I'm guessing would be valuable too. Do you think this is so? Is it something worth mentioning or do you think it would show as a lack of objective focus?
Thanks guys, this gives me a better idea of what to expect.
As to the question of what is it that I remember from school... what would you guys expect me to be proficient at? What would you recommend me to brush up, to be prepared and get more prepared for applications. I wouldn't like to...
Thanks, @strucbells:
I'm referring specifically to getting to a working level of expertise for residential. In my country there's no need for additional certification than the registry as a Civil Engineer, which I already have. The seed money may be a problem... by the way, what is a...
Hi atrizzy, JedClampett, Dik, thanks for your answers.
Well, I don't know right now what I remember... anything you suggest I should brush up if I were to start interviewing? About the "finding me funny" thing... what do you think would hinder me as a prospect against other applicants. Also...
Hi Dik.
I'm worried about the things I may not be seeing, due to the combination of burnout and the idealizations I may be creating because of enthusiasm towards the possibility of finding an enjoyable career that I may be able to work in for the rest of my life.
Also, in your experience...
Hello guys,
From the moment I decided to study civil engineering I knew it was because of structures. My bachelors had an emphasis in structural.
Before graduating I held a part time job for a semester doing "structural design" which sort of pushed me away a bit because I was just mainly...
FreddyNurk: Thanks for the detailed answer.
MikeHalloran: What do you feel is missing from the multitude of to-do apps that exist that you haven't been able to find one that works for you?
Thanks to everyone!
What was unnecessary or what was lacking? To each his own, but while everyone can praise their current tool this may be because of a feature I’m not interested in at all; I’m most interested in knowing why have you stopped using other ones to find out whether or not I could be bothered by the...
I'm an undergraduate and I'm thinking of studying Structural Engineering in graduate school, so I want to be prepared for the worst subjects. As an undergraduate I have these:
*Elemental Theory of Structures
*Mechanics of Materials
*Structural Anlysis
*Concrete Structures
*Structural Design...
Managing all the information that could potentially add up in excel when used as a database is indeed problematic. We've been using excel for control of different tasks that don't belong to any particular project to be included in their schedules/programs. We've been doing this for over a month...
Anyone here use excel for some sort of "integrated control" in their companies/jobs and in a way that permits any kind of reporting? If so, please expand about how you got that going on. If not, please say what where the drawbacks your found that prevented such a use of Excel and about what you...
