What is Civil Engineering?

5 more years and I will come back to this video with a Civil Engineer bachelor degree.

I remember watching this video in my senior year of high school, and now I'll be graduating from civil engineering next Saturday :')

“Go for civil engineering, because civil engineering is the branch of engineering which teaches you the most about managing people and applies almost regardless of what you do.”

Math used to frustrate me. I would hate math almost every time. I would fail a class mostly with a D- or below. It became my greatest enemy. Especially geometry and trigonometry. All of a sudden, something awakened inside of me. I don't know what but i simply said to myself, "No. I'm not going to give up on math. I'm going to conquer it, just like it has conquered me". During my last year of HS, I took physics and I absolutely loved it! It wasn't easy but I certainly enjoyed it more than any other Math class i have ever taken. Now I'm in college, and I'm taking the Engineering pathway. I'm thinking about becoming Civil Engineer or something along that. I'm writing this little testimony, to hopefully inspire or awaken this passion to become someone in life. The passion for math has awakened in me and when you're passionate about something, you can do anything because you don't give up on something you enjoy and love!! Great Video by the way!

I remember watching this video when I was in high school back in 2017 trying to figure out what to do. Fast forward to today and now I graduate with my civil engineering degree and I couldn’t be happier with all the experiences and internships. Thank you for creating this!

As a civil engineering graduate, I assure that this is a really great video for ones to watch before choosing the major! great job bro

Wow, civil engineers are brilliant. We really put our lives in their hands.

I remember watching this 5 years ago going into my undergrad and today, I'm graduating with my bachelor's in Civil Engineering. Going to pursue my Masters in Structural Engineering.

Hey everyone! So we just hit 1,000 subscribers and I just want to say thank you to everyone for the support thus far! We are still a small channel but we are growing and it's been amazing seeing how much these are helping. I read all your comments and am taking note of everything you guys are requesting and I will continue to make the best content I can to help you in choosing a major, career path, and more. Hope you all enjoy the video :)

Great video brother, always appreciate the support and contribution to the civil engineering community :) as a civil engineer myself, I endorse this channel 100% people!!

Mans said “easy physics such as statics”

As a Civil and Structural Engineer, this is a really good resource for engineering students and people considering the field. I can confirm this video gives a very good representation of the field. One thing I would add is the necessity for on-site work, where a contract engineer reads engineering designs from a consulting engineer on-site and directs builders, it requires a broad understanding of technical knowledge.

I worked in construction management for 10 years and then joined the college at the age of 38 for a civil engineering degree. It was an amazing degree and I loved everything about it (except soil and geotechnical 😆). If anyone is still reluctant dont be. you will definitely find what interests you in this field.

This video has been the most thorough and helpful engineering video I've come across! And I've been watching dozens over the past few months. I'm glad I stumbled upon this. Thank you!!

My son is 9 and has been showing interest in building stuff since he was 3. He used to watch hours of documentaries on how buildings and bridges were built. His teachers all know him as the construction boy because he would not play with anything else other than blocks and was always constructing something whether it was the titanic or Burj Khalifa. Now he uses Minecraft education edition to design stuff and taught himself how to code. I enrolled him in a coding class but I am afraid I'm not helping him to achieve his full potential because I am afraid of pushing him, I want to let him enjoy being a kid. Anyhow, I came on here to learn what the difference was between, an architect, civil engineer, mechanical engineer, structural engineer and what subjects he would need to develop or excel in to do well in this field. I really want to help guide and support him as he gets older. I appreciate these videos as well as the comments and feedback viewers provide. :goodvibes:

civil engineering is just like real life cities skylines

I graduated with my MSCE in Dec. 2017 and now work in a structural consulting firm. I can attest that this video is a great one for new college students to watch when deciding their major or their focus in Civil Engineering. Although, it can't be understated how intensive structures can be.

This is awesome!!!! I'm trying to help my 20 yr old nephew explore engineering, and Civil was the first that struck his fancy- this is such a great overview! Thank you!

I really enjoyed watching this video. This man is really good at explaining what Civil Engineering is about. Good job.

Great video. Extremely helpful and inspiring to me as I am just a few months away from my first day in college. Keep the good content going!
