Which University’s have masters in structural engineering with a practical focus instead of theorical ??
Comment from : Javie Ibarra

Hi Mat! Thx for the info Im going to cal for MS but not sure if i can take the FE exam as i got a foreign bachelor's degree
Comment from : William Leung

Can someone explain to me why these are BS & MS instead of BEng & MEng?
Comment from : eazE

Yet at the end of day, I dun think getting examined on these mathematics will be useful in the future as a structural engineer, FEM softwares will basically take care of that Learning how to be proficient in these softwares are more useful Yet it is true that a master degree is a prerequisite for many structural design firms
Comment from : Jones

I 100 agree with you! I too halfway blame the teachers for how they teach in college They teach as if we already know this stuff But I also blame myself for the other 50 because I wouldn't put in the extra time to study and ask for help Failing Calculus 1 three times has me reaching to other sources and taking the time to teach myself and fully learn and master the information before taking the class again and also switching up my study and homework habits We all need that one class or experience to kick us in the butt so we can get back on path and do what needs to be done brI also agree, that once you start to realize why the general courses are needed in the major courses, it's like a push to want to learn those general courses I like to always read ahead in the higher course descriptions and watch videos about what they are When they mention that higher math and science is needed in those course, that's why I'm motivated to want to do good in those general courses Even looking ahead at the FE and PE test outline and seeing the topics are pushing me to want to learn them so I can be prepared!brArchitectural Engineering Technology student here

Comment from : Ernest Ezekiel Joy Betts

I got a degree in History and its basically worthless Now I’m 25 and I plan to go back to university for Civil engineering (Structural) I’m torn between taking out loans and going full time to get into the industry sooner or working part time and going to school part time What would you recommend?

I failed Fluid Mechanics too Blamed the Teacher (11 years later and I still do) Till date I avoid any project that deals with lamb in a flow
Comment from : Chike O

Thanks for giving us your insight on the courses you took as an undergrad/grad structural engineering student! My statics course starts next semester, so it's good to know just how important this course is for civil engineering students
Comment from : Acyz

Thank you so much for making this video I just finished my first year and I felt very lost and made a couple mistakes Your video is giving me hope to continue and make me understand what should I be doing thanks a lot 💙🥺
Comment from : fatema Exo-l

hello Matjust want to thanks for your videos uploaded regularlyI'm learning a lot and give more insight in our field As a starter in the field of Structural Engineering, your videos inspired meThank youHope to finish my MS this year
Comment from : Mirasol Villa

If I'm working towards a materials engineering degree, would you say I can land a structural engineering internship If so, how?
Comment from : Lucid

Guys what should I chose bs in ce or bsce major in structural
Comment from : Mark Gil Abayon

Thank you very much for this awesome video, Mat I graduated from a public University in the US, and subsequently returned home in South East Asia One thing that I realized by working with engineers here is that they took much more engineering classes while in their undergraduate than I did in the US Sometimes I feel really bad because I lack of technical skills eg classes in Timber design, any Advance courses-- classes that I have not taken in the US It seems like the US curriculum geared towards specialization in MS degree
Comment from : Gerardo Da Cruz

You said that in grad school you thought bridge design was a key class to take, but as a structural engineer that specializes in buildings do you use the knowledge from bridge design at your job? Or maybe I’m mistaken and you do design bridges at your job? Thanks Mat, currently at cpp and saw you present for Seacpp I appreciate the videos you make!

Comment from : steaks1982

Wait, so there are core civil engineering courses? What does that mean? The reason I ask is because I'm about to major in civil engineering in the spring and go for structural engineering
Comment from : jr243

Hi, I graduated bachelor of science in architecture, and I am curious on taking a second bachelor on civil engineering Do you think this is an ok decision ?

Hey I am graduating from cpp as a civil engineering major as well!
Comment from : carlos monsalve

Hi Mat! brbrI’m currently a transfer student at community college taking my GEs for free with the California Promise program With the pandemic striking last year, I deferred admission from many schools I was accepted to including UCSD which was my dream school because of their major in structural engineering Now that I’m getting into the flow of things, is it a good idea to major in JUST structural engineering or should I lean towards more to kind of do what you did and experience all these other types of engineering classes and see which best fits me? I ask because I know that choosing your area in civil engineering is more towards grad school and stuff like that What would you think is best to do?brbrThanks,brbrJason A Camorlinga
Comment from : Jason Camorlinga

I'm Have done my Graduation in Civil Engineering(India) Your all video are supporting for like Truss Member I want to become a structure Engineer Can you suggest me any important tips?
Comment from : Pintu Kumar

I graduated from CPP in CE last year Took me 6 years They changed to a semester system and removed dynamics from the required courses Was so relieved cause that course was a pain in the butt; failed twice They also added I think was the equivalent of MAT 224 and PHY 133 to the curriculum and by that time I had already completed my math and physics like 4+ years ago, so that was a lot of refreshing to do Doing a master's in transpo now But yeah, you just gotta keep pushing Took me 6 years but I finally made it Once you get past those filter gatekeeper courses and get into the main CE courses if becomes much more interesting and fun
Comment from : Soupaman

Hey Mat, do you know of/recommend any online Masters's programs for structural engineering? I am a civil student about to graduate with my undergrad and I have recently been trying to pursue the structural route Also, how can civil internships outside of structural engineering benefit the process of starting a career in structural engineering? I have had two internships more in road design and civil site design and I am looking for advice on what I can do to become a structural engineer
Comment from : MASON BARTOL

i am good at cal got 96 i am doing structural engineering but dont know anything what i am doing and what i will do structural mechanics always make me roll messed up
Comment from : Abdullah Akram

As a freshman pursuing Civil Engineering under the Texas A&M system, these tips and the advice is fantastic Thank you for the material! It’s funny too because I see habits developing like study groups and getting involved in program related clubs and what not I’m looking forward to learning and getting better over the next several years
Comment from : Inn-man 40

Awesome video, Mat! Thanks a lot for making it! I am in the first year of the Civil Engineering faculty in Romania and this video just gave me a huge boost of motivation when i figured out that it is ok to make mistakes and that even the good engineers had low motivation moments in the school I can't wait to see the classes in the second year! Keep going!
Comment from : Iulian Crețu

I did my civil eng bs at UCLA and really wished I had the hands on classes at CPP, the degree was much more theoretical and I struggled to keep my interest and had a bad GPA, couldn’t find a job nor get into grad school because of that Took me a while to do extension classes to get into cal poly Pomona’s computer science masters program and really liked the professors there! If I can do over again I would definitely prefer CPP’s approach to topics
Comment from : toms channel

hey man i plan on going to college for civil engineering but i’m pretty horrible at math i was wondering how you got better and what i can do to prep for it thanks
Comment from : Nathan

Haha i feel like you and I have the same geology prof I thought it was gonna be boring, holy hell the prof was so passionate and everyone loves going to class just to listen to him and read interesting facts about rock and geotechnical, bro its volcano and limeston bro! Crazy how a passiaonte teacher can change your point of view on a subject
Comment from : Khanh Hung Tran

Can you tell me about the Good reference book for Bridge engineering

Comment from : AKRAMUL KOBIR

I'm a high school senior planning to major in civil engineering in college this upcoming fall, and I'm still unsure of which field I want to go into, but your videos have been making me more interested in structural engineering!! I'm actually considering attending CPP myself since I got admission for it, but would you say it's worth attending if you have to live on-campus for all four years? I don't live in SoCal, so I'm worried about the costs of housing and how much that would accumulate, but CPP also seems like it has a great engineering program! Another question I have is is it difficult to get jobs outside of SoCal from CPP if I wanted to actually get a job in the region I live in now (Central Valley)?

Comment from : Mustafa C Çelebi

Can you please check my videos in this account , and watch it i just want to know if the practicality and simplicity of my technology in structural analydsign is acceptable to you i am more giving attention in VERTICAL IMPACT FORCES that amplified 80 of Building weight by vertical accelaration rather than the Base Shear which is only 20 of Building weight is amplified by horizontal accelaration i was studying the buildings that collapsed from earthquakes, in most cases the collapsed of buildings ignited from the failure of base columns, and caused only by 3 mode of failures : the compression, buckling and shear failure which only the behavior of failure for AXIALLY LOADED COLUMN i believe that the mechanics of elastic frame analysis which is after for Flexural Moment Stresses do not work in real conditions, reasons are explained on my videos thank you

Very helpful! Makes me want to pursue MS Structural
Comment from : Michael Nakakubo

Very interesting and useful, sir! we have some similar undergraduate story:') don't know about where would the early courses will be going, start to make the good study habits in the middle courses, find a very good geotech teachers, almost choose geotech concentration, not a veryfast-learner but want to spend more time to study:)brAlso thanks for sharing about your grad story and perspective in UCSD! i'm from indonesia and currently work after finished my undergraduate study last year (take minor in structural eng), also have a hope can take a master degree in usa:)
Comment from : Imam Ardiansyah

Thank you for sharing this! When watching your videos and hearing what you talk about, I thought you were get nothing but A's, and thus thought that to succeed in the structural engineering field I would have to do the same; but this video now made me feel more comfortable with my academic performances and relieves some of those doubts :)
Comment from : Joci

hello sirbrbrI have a bachelors in civil engineering and I'm looking forward to pursue masters in construction management Can you please suggest me some colleges in the states thanks
Comment from : Sudeep Chowdhury

I use OPENSEES for my research and I feel for anyone who has to learn the program for just one class Even a simple model presents many challenges for beginners, and it takes a long time to be comfortable It’s doable but I just question how much value it adds for a one time user I’d see more benefit in running nonlinear time history in matlab than learning how to make a 2D model in OPENSEES A lot of the math is hidden in OPENSEES and matlab would force you to program the math yourself Idk just my opinion
