School of PE Podcast Episode 18

In this episode of the School of PE Podcast, repeat guest Erin Kelly joins Chris on the show! During this episode, you will learn more about the different paths that civil structural engineers can take, including design engineering, forensics engineering, risk assessment, and in-house engineering support. Kelly explains how there’s no right way to be an engineer and that there is value in experimenting in different fields of engineering before you make your decision on which to choose as a career. She also notes that there is often overlap in engineering careers, so even if you feel like you might not be qualified for a position, you likely are due to previous engineering experience and training. You will also find out the common instruments a structural engineer would have in his or her daily toolkit!
