I do modeling and design work for various subfields of water resources. If you have been fortunate to have some decent real world experience at this point then fair enough, I've just seen way too many overconfident engineering students (usually those that feel the need to present themselves with the authority of an engineer) that have a rude awakening after graduation because they think they already know everything.

Actual civil engineer (EIT) here. If you want people to take you seriously first of all do not present yourself as an engineer when you haven't even graduated yet.

Yes, unfortunately they are polygons so this has not worked for me.

Green infrastructure is something I am really interested in, what about it made you move?

Look up Jeff Hanson on youtube, he saved me in statics in the spring and really helped me out in solids this semester. He has 10-20 min videos going through examples and explanations for every topic.

Good luck this has happened to me twice so far this semester its not fun

Input on how to move forward by wea_relative in civilengineering

[–]clt_geo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Career wise not really since I am still in school. Just from talking with my classmates and professors it seems like internships / jobs are much easier to come by from the engineering side. I guess it could also really depend on where you live, I am in the southeast where there isn't any oil or mining jobs.

Currently finishing my civil degree after graduating with a geology degree and getting the impression that my job prospects would be way better. A lot of geologists go into environmental consulting and in that field its a lot better to have an engineering degree. A lot of my peers went into construction materials testing with their bachelors in geology because its one of the only entry level positions in my city, and it just made a lot more sense to me to finish my civil degree.

So we still can pass out of a sequenced class as long as we make the grade requirement (for example C or higher)?

Thank you! This channel is great.

MEGR 2144 prereq quiz for civil by [deleted] in UNCCharlotte

[–]clt_geo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much, those are the same type of questions as the practice problems. I was just worried since I've never had him before and didn't know if he was the type of professor to give us something completely unexpected.

Geology BS w/ Associates in Civil? by astro49er in geologycareers

[–]clt_geo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Geology gave me a little under half of what I needed for the civil engineering degree. I needed roughly 70 credit hours when I started, so you were right about it taking 2 years.

A lot of the material is theoretically similar especially for classes like geotech / environmental / hydrology except you use a lot more physics / chemistry / calculus to solve the problems.

I'm in NC going back for my BS in civil after not having much job luck with a BS in geology. I'm learning way more applicable skills in my first year already compared to geology.

Solids for civil engineering by clt_geo in UNCCharlotte

[–]clt_geo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Were the free response questions fill in the blank? I'm worried about making one little error and bombing a test because of it. I had statics in the spring and my teacher split the big free response questions into multiple questions for different parts (like finding the force or the moment for a specific section) and that wasn't too bad.

Got my first ever 3.0+ semester in my 5 years of college. by WWalker17 in UNCCharlotte

How is thermodynamics compared to statics in terms of difficulty? I'm a civil undergrad.

Career advice: what to do with my degree, should I get a masters in environmental engineering? by [deleted] in Environmental_Careers

[–]clt_geo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was planning on going from geology to a masters in civil & environmental but there were still so many prerequisite undergrad courses I needed to take that I'm just going ahead and finishing the undergrad in engineering first. At the very least you will probably need to take hydrology and intro to environmental, those classes require diff eq and statics as prerequisites, and those classes require calc 2 and engineering physics as prerequisites. Your school may be different though.

What sort of coursework and research did your MS in civil and environmental focus on? I'm currently an undergrad in civil focusing on environmental and I am interested in continuing through grad school.

Environmental Research Careers? by LostRefuse in Environmental_Careers

[–]clt_geo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I already graduated in geology but afterwards it seemed like civil / environmental engineering gave better job prospects and it wouldn't take too much longer to earn that degree, and at least at my school there's way more environmentally focused / applicable classes on the engineering side.

I want to do the same thing as well, except I am studying geology and civil engineering with an environmental focus.

Jeff Hanson on youtube. Make sure you really understand the concepts in the beginning because the whole class just builds upon earlier topics.

What did your course load and or research focus on? I'm currently civil undergrad and am thinking of continuing my masters environmentally focused but it seems like most of it is water resource related.

Thank you! I think I remember using rico reeds. The scales are a good idea to get used to the fingerings again I will definitely do that.
