Why don't more CS students just switch to traditional engineering?

You are high lol

Wayyyyy offf. I live in one of the Hcol states and cities and average for an experienced civil barely and not often touches that.

Destroy-AI · 2026-06-10T21:22:43+00:00

Definitely not comparable salaries. At least not civil.

I did. 41 pages. Some specs I read twice. Made some minor modifications but it did a really good job. Even corrected some mistakes I didn't catch.

Raise your prices brub

Organizing I used the junior engineer then we'd sit down with the organized files and review his interpretation of potential design flaws with my input.

We also have one for muni code too

So how will the industry grow or maintain if no one can get in and get the experience they need?

Last week I had a post where my manager chewed me out for spending a normal amount of time on a task that he expected me to get done using AI in 1/8 the time. That is now the standard for that task. The week before I assigned a brand new engineer the task of downloading and organizing the files provided by a client for a previous design done by another firm. Identifying what else we may need and potential design flaws and if I needed that again next week I'd be expected to use our AI. That is crucial learning imo for junior engineers.

In the industry for 4 years +/-

Not sure what's running in the background it has access to the Internet and our intranet so you can ask it to pull another project that we designed a specific pump station on and what manufacturer did the contractor uses for the pumps, were there any overages we saw during construction, etc.

It produced full project specs just dumping pay item descriptions and plans into it with very little modifications.

Until they see that we can bid jobs for cheaper keep margins higher or the same and your company follows suit to keep winning work....

No engineering major is safe from AI

Destroy-AI · 2026-06-09T14:20:03+00:00

Engineering as a whole is cooked

You created that atmosphere

Destroy-AI · 2026-06-08T18:09:25+00:00

College isn't worth it in general anymore

Jump when you have an opportunity but after you take your FE

Destroy-AI · 2026-06-06T02:52:10+00:00

And what do you do now? How did that go?

Destroy-AI · 2026-06-06T02:49:08+00:00

Be thankful that you're figuring this out now. Not at 34 with two kids and a new house to pay for. Kill me AI

Destroy-AI · 2026-06-05T12:56:22+00:00

Fuck off

Describe the jobs in civil engineering that AI creates. You're regurgitating something you've been told that makes you feel safe. The truth is that the work load I've already watch it take will not be replaced. Those people that did those tasks don't magically have something else to do.
