I know it has been a while since the last podcast came out. I have been taking a much needed break. We had a crazy summer with a new baby, tons of travel (including a month in Colombia), and starting a new job. Life has been crazy.This interview is from back in March with Rachel Jackson from Thornton Tomasetti. We chatted at the AISC Steel Conference after she gave a wonderful presentation to a group of students. I hope you enjoy this conversation.I wanted to also reflect on the great conversation we had and give you some insight on my takeaways.The Value of Hands-On ExperienceRachel emphasized the critical role of internships in professional development. She stated talked about how while theoretical knowledge is essential, practical experience is where true learning occurs. Her internships, particularly at Thornton Tomasetti, were instrumental in deepening her understanding of the field and establishing a robust professional network.This resonated strongly with my own experience. The transition from residential construction to bridge demolition has underscored the irreplaceable value of practical experience. Learning how to design a bridge can sometimes fall short of the actual design process. If you've been in the industry for any amount of time, I'm sure you've experienced the steep learning curve that comes with actually designing something, rather than just learning about how to design it.Networking and Career GrowthRachel highlighted the significance of professional connections. Rachel emphasized the importance of networking at events like the AISC conference. She explained that these gatherings provide excellent opportunities to build professional relationships that can significantly accelerate our career development.I wholeheartedly agree with this perspective. These conferences have consistently proven to be excellent platforms for engaging with industry leaders. In fact, many of the insightful guests featured on this podcast were connections made at these type of conferences.Life Long LearningIn the dynamic field of structural engineering, Rachel emphasized the necessity of ongoing education. She advocated for staying well informed on industry trends as well as the value that conferences have not only for our learning, but our career growth.I have been a big proponent of lifelong learning over the years. I used to think after school I was done learning, but since then I have found so many practical ways learning has improved not only my professional life, but my personal life as well. Take for example the "5-hour rule". It suggests dedicating at least 5 hours per week to deliberate learning, a practice followed by successful individuals like Bill Gates and Warren Buffett. Learning is considered the best investment of time, with Benjamin Franklin noting that "an investment in knowledge pays the best interest". There are many practical ways to incorporate learning into daily life including finding mini learning periods during downtimes, attending industry conferences, and engaging in topics you find interesting.Mentors and Mentorship RelationshipsOne of the most impactful segments of our discussion was Rachel's reflection on mentorship. She shared, "The guidance of an experienced professional is invaluable in navigating one's career." Now, she's is doing the same by mentoring junior engineers at Thornton Tomasetti.Throughout my career I have had formal and informal mentorships. These relationships have sometimes grown into professional friendships, but most importantly, they gave me a strong foundation starting off. The lessons as well as the insights was invaluable at the time.Strategic Advice for Aspiring EngineersRachel offered several key recommendations for students:* Engage in extracurricular projects related to structural engineering* Attend industry conferences and workshops (such as the AISC Steel Conference)* Develop strong communication skills, which are crucial in engineering* Secure internships at reputable firms to gain practical experienceTo this, I would add: cultivate a habit of curiousity. Whether in meetings with architects or on-site with contractors, asking thoughtful questions demonstrates engagement and a desire to learn, which is highly valued in our profession. Take a step further and record those lessons. The brigtest minds over the years have kept journals to reflect on what they learn. The impact of writing it down has been tremendously. Nowadays, with technology, there are so many great options. I personally use Notion to keep all my stuff in one place. I have class notes from years ago as well as design summaries and resources to help me at work. And with AI I don't have to manual search for what I am looking for, I can simply ask the chatbot.The Promising Future of Structural EngineeringAs our discussion concluded, Rachel's enthusiasm for the future of structural engineering was evident. From sustainable designs to innovative materials, our field is advancing rapidly. The structural engineering landscape is evolving with exciting developments in areas such as mass timber construction, high-performance concrete, and advanced computational design tools. These innovations are not only pushing the boundaries of what's possible in building design but also contributing to more environmentally friendly and efficient structures. The integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning in structural analysis is opening up new possibilities for optimizing designs and predicting structural behavior.Additionally, the growing focus on resilience and adaptability in the face of climate change is driving innovation in structural solutions. It truly is an exhilarating time to be a structural engineer, with opportunities to contribute to groundbreaking projects and shape the future of our built environment.Concluding ThoughtsIn conclusion, Rachel Jackson's insights offer valuable guidance for both aspiring and established structural engineers. Her emphasis on practical experience, continuous learning, and professional networking underscores the dynamic nature of our field. As we look to the future, it's clear that structural engineering is not just about building structures, but about shaping sustainable, resilient, and innovative environments. By embracing new technologies, fostering mentorship relationships, and staying curious, we can contribute meaningfully to the evolution of our profession. The journey in structural engineering is ongoing, filled with challenges and opportunities, and it's up to us to seize them and make a lasting impact on the world we build.Thanks for reading Engineering our Future!

4 years ago Andrew Wang left an engineering and business career to care for his school age children and pursue his lifelong dream of becoming an artist. He's influenced by the Renaissance period where artists were engineers - and engineers were artists. Andrew studied mechanical engineering first at the University of Waterloo then as a graduate student at MIT. As a former engineer for a materials company, Andrew takes care in his art materials choices, considering both the technical and the symbolic. I intereviewed Andrew Wang by zoom in front of a live audience in the Engineering Careers course I teach to grad students at the University of Toronto.

ClearanceJobs recently sat down with Northrop Grumman engineers Haylea Rheams, Emily Marvich and Sara Banadaki. They shared stories about how they got into engineering, the role that Northrop Grumman has played in their careers and what the next generation should consider when pursuing STEM careers.Every career journey is different. Some have a very straight path, while others may not have such a direct route. For Haylea, Emily and Sara they each had someone in their life to help guide them and push their interest and desire to pursue engineering. Whether it was a parent, school or another prominent figure, they were emphatic that young girls notice women in STEM careers. Having strong role models and access to technology at a young age played a key role in defining their own career paths. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

We all choose our career paths based on our younger self's dreams and expectations of what we might be able to do and work on someday in the future. Whether we thought we would design and build the next Burj Khalifa or get rich off an extremely high salary right after getting our first job out of college, the truth is that, even though we can still accomplish such things, we have to be mindful of how we go for it. In today's episode, Mark Oakeson jumps back on the show to discuss the expectations most of us may have of the civil engineering world as well as how it realistically works. By drawing on their own experiences within the field and their early days as civil engineers just fresh out of college, Isaac, and Mark talk about the many aspects we got wrong, and the ones we got right when we imagined ourselves as civil engineers even before going to college. Do engineers really make that much money, even those just starting out? Is your project built exactly as your artistically created Revit model?

As march into Women’s History Month, I welcome Isabel Yang, CTO at Advanced Energy Industries. As a minority woman in a C suite position at a publicly traded manufacturing company, Isabel has a plethora of unique insight on her path to success as well as advice for all women looking to spearhead their careers. “I believe women need to shape their own destiny in their careers and lives. Now more than ever, we must work to establish a set of core skills early in our careers and gradually grow ourselves into experts, then progressively branch out to learn about adjacent areas or new areas to acquire new skills.”
