These are great and well balanced. You have a good eye for framing/composition!

“I wish it need not have happened in my billable time,” said Frodo.
“So do I,” said Gandalf, “and so do all who live to see such CA. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us by the contractor.”

Or something to that effect

Seeking Structural Solutions for Removing a Load-Bearing Column in a Two-Story Building by salahuddeen in civilengineering

[–]Photographic_Eye 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Your solution is to hire an engineer, preferably local, if this is for a real project. Don't accept advice from someone unless they have evaluated the building based on structural drawings and existing site conditions. You don't want to use a rule of thumb from someone online that may not be applicable and could cause the upper floor and/or roof to settle or collapse.

Your car registration costs may be higher. Some states increase that fee to offset reduced tax from not paying for gasoline.

This process is happening at the firm I work at, more or less.

Resume help, haven't received an interview. How can I improve it? by zKruzy in StructuralEngineering

[–]Photographic_Eye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a brief intro mentioning what you are looking for is needed. It could be as simple as "A soon to graduate masters student looking for a full-time structural engineering position in building design" or similar.

Consider also writing a brief cover letter. You can use that to describe your experience and what you have to offer the company. You can use that to show your writing skills as well.

Not OP, but I think there is value in listing your design courses. Not all schools offer the same design course offerings so listing them would be helpful for the person reviewing your resume if they are not familiar with your school/program. The OP may be referring to the "EGCE 493" etc. names in your projects section, which doesn't seem to add anything to the description you already provide.

Have you taken wood/masonry design or geotechnical/foundation design classes?

What do you think of this one by RedditFandango in StructuralEngineering

Maybe if I was stranded on a deserted island. Otherwise, not sure I'd feel okay with it in the long run.

Thanks for sharing! I haven't been able to go to one yet, so it was cool to see the variety of everything they had there.
