RE: The "Perfect Attendance" Mentality

Thanks everyone. These all seem like really candid self-assessments and really show part of the "human-side of the engineer". I really appreciate all of the responses for me to reflect on myself. ------------------------------ Christopher Seigel P.E., M.ASCE Civil Engineer ----------------------- ...

The "Perfect Attendance" Mentality

Hey all, I'm curious to know about your experiences with perfect attendance during school and how it has affected you in your professional life. Were you someone who was driven to achieve perfect attendance in school? If so, do you think this mindset influenced your approach to going to work, ...

RE: Unlocking Your Potential: Strategies to Become a Highly Sought-After Civil Engineering Professional

Personally I find that there are not enough civil engineers who know how to program or think like a programmer. While this is not applicable for every branch of the civil engineering field, there are many areas of the profession where data analysis and data manipulation is still important. Lacking a ...

Thats really interesting Madison. This is the first time I've ever heard of that, thank you for sharing. (Also best wishes with your knee, coming from someone who's own knee sometimes acts up on long runs.) ------------------------------ Christopher Seigel P.E., M.ASCE Civil Engineer ------- ...

Thanks for your input Troy! I have grown fond of remote work but am much more open to the idea of a return to office in the cases where it helps junior members. As chair of my company's sustainability committee, I am also always excited to hear about what other companies do for Earth Day. ...

More Than The Money - Your Favorite Employer Benefit

Hey all, My friend was at an interview recently and they told me that someone on the other side of the interview process asked them why they wanted the job. His first somewhat sarcastic answer was "because money can be exchanged for goods and services". Money (and humor) aside, I've been curious ...

Hey Cody, This seems like an important question. I do see value in trying to attract interest in the field at a younger age. Engaging high school and college students, possibly in the form of internships, may help busy firms who are struggling to hire in a number of ways. It could potentially ...

Hi Behlah, Please find my review of your resume below: About Me Your first sentence is great and provides most of the quick "hard facts" about yourself, as well as what your goal is. Your second sentence is a little bit redundant. I think you can remove the third sentence entirely. ...

Hi Sreelakshmi, Please find my review of your resume below. There is a resume and there is a CV. This is more of a CV in terms of length and content. As a resume, I believe that this could likely be condensed to 2 pages, using fewer titled sections than the 15 you currently have. At ...

RE: What maketh a PE?

Hey Renn, I might try to request the certificate - I had a coworker try to take the PE in PA and the person they spoke with there would not let her apply because they chose to go by the date her certificate was issued, rather from the date that she passed the EIT when counting her years of experience. ...

This is a good question Daniel. I have a feeling that it is similar to a wedding ceremony. A couple can go through a ceremony, but they are not yet technically married until their marriage license paperwork is filled out and submitted as well. Likewise, you have passed your exam (congratulations!), ...

Does anyone remember Google Glass? I can think of a few other pieces of technology that showed potential merits over the last decade or so, but didn't seem to catch on in a mainstream way. Some of these include: ·A keyboard that was projected onto any surface that it was placed on. · Another projector, ...

Hi Misty, It sounds like you have a lot on your plate. Undergrad is often one of the first times we come across other people who share the same classes or dorm rooms with each other, but aside from that, live very different lives from one another. It may be the reality that you simply have a lot more ...

Our office has been trying to incorporate sustainability into their gift giving. This year, we received a notebook and pen set that can be used together. The notebook is reusable and its pages can be cleaned and re-used. I haven't given its materials a close look yet but depending on what it is made ...
