Completed A Journey Of New Learnings 😊 I just completed @John Holland Australia's Civil Engineering on @[Forage](urn:li:organization:68514998). In the simulation I: * Completed a job simulation working across a range of construction tasks including a new bridge, high-rise, and rail. * Calculated the volumes of concrete for pile caps and abutments for a bridge and compared subcontractor rates. * Compared two building drawings to identify differences and arranged tasks in the correct sequencing order. * Reviewed placement of CCTV camera at an island stop to ensure safety requirements were met. #learning #internship #forage

6 years ago, I was starting my college career. 6 years ago, I was moving into a college dorm to start my first year of full-time engineering coursework. I knew at the time that I wanted to pursue civil engineering, but had no idea what I wanted to do with my degree. I took a variety of classes, had a variety of jobs on campus within the engineer departments, and took on mulitple internships. It wasn't until I heard Michael Dukes, P.E. give a presentation about bridge inspection that something inside me clicked - Bridge Inspection. Structures. Field work. Project management. Load ratings. And so much more. That's what I wanted. To all of the college students who are still trying to figure out what you want - try everything. Once you find your passion, everything else will fall into place.

Here’s more from our summer interns! Listen as they describe their favorite moments and the first-hand experience they’ve gained in the areas of civil engineering, mechanical engineering, and land surveying. #NationalInternDay

Meet Our Intern! 🌟 Jeremy, a first-generation college student, chose Civil Engineering due to the high demand for civil engineers. He is aware of their critical role in shaping and maintaining communities and sees the field as an opportunity for personal and community growth. Here's Jeremey's advice for aspiring Civil Engineers: "My advice to someone who is considering a career in civil engineering would be that you do not have to be a genius; all you have to do is put in the time and the effort. Anything with a greater return will require greater effort."

#Disaster_Management #Fire_Safety #Quality_Control #mix_design_of_concrete #dataanalytics Data analytics on building materials for fire safety, disaster management and quality control have been the recent challenges in R & D for Civil Engineering professionals. The 28th day compressive strength of concrete should no longer be the measuring parameter in defining the quality of high rise structures due to use of machineries and changed placing conditions of concrete.The delays in getting a quality feedback handicap the Site Engineers to enforce a strict quality plan. Our campus is well equipped to provide the best facilities to groom students to meet the challenges in current environment as per specific requirements of construction companies. Internships for students after fourth semesters are always welcome from industries. It's quite possible to predict the fire dynamics of existing structures through finite element methods so as to make structures fire safety intelligent .

I would like to share a few things about my experience being an engineering intern at PennDOT. I learned many lessons and gained knowledge firsthand. Some of the main responsibilities I was assigned this summer as an engineering intern with PennDOT were completing project site activities, communicating with contractors, conducting wage rate interviews, and creating Excel sheets to encapsulate quantities. The most effective skill I used this summer was communication. In the construction world, I have come to find that people often use different slang and jargon. Being clear and concise while also asking questions has been the answer for me. A technical skill I used the most this summer was interpreting construction drawings. I utilized this skill to understand the job being completed by the contractor and to ensure the job was put in according to standard. My key takeaway from this experience was learning the relationship between contractors and engineers. Getting an insight into the vast work completed by both sides to ensure a great product. #udaytoncoopintern University of Dayton School of Engineering

MEET THE INTERNS! Name: Sam Tarleton Role: Student Civil & Structural Engineer Department: Structural Engineering College Degree: Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering in University College Cork Hobbies: Rugby, music, and running. Favourite project and why? I’ve been involved in numerous projects so far that have been both interesting and challenging. My favourite of these projects has been a medical device manufacturing facility that is currently under construction. My contributions to this project have included both structural and civil engineering design, giving me a wide variety of tasks on a day-to-day basis. My main tasks have included structural analysis modelling, steel design and reinforced concrete design .A recent site visit to this project helped me see the real-world applications of my design and gave me a better overall understanding of the project. Experience gained so far: I have gained brilliant experience so far in multiple areas, mainly structural design. The use of software like SCIA Engineer, Navisworks and Tekkla Tedds on a daily basis has helped me become proficient in using them to analyse and design structures. I have become much more efficient with certain areas of design that I wouldn’t have previously been very confident with. Working with a team of such experienced engineers and technicians has sped up my learning hugely. The advice and guidance I’m receiving will be invaluable for both my final college year and my future career. Most challenging and rewarding aspects of your role: I found the most challenging aspect of the role was at first having to revise over certain areas of design we haven’t covered in a year or two and getting used to it again. The most rewarding aspect I found was the constant learning on the go that happens every time I’m assigned a new job. Being able to bounce between different team members and use their knowledge and experience to aid me when attempting something new makes learning so much quicker and more rewarding. Aims for the next few years: My aim once I complete my placement here is to finish out my fifth and final year of my integrated masters programme to the best of my ability. I’m sure that my experienced gained during this internship will help me greatly in my final year, especially with my final year design project and choosing what sector I want to pursue after college. #mwp #engineering #consultancy #interns
