Hi everyone, I’m studying Civil Engineering Techonology in Toronto. I’m gonna have the first coop term in the summer 2025. However, slot for coop could be very limited. Can everyone guid me where to look for a coop or summer job related to this area? Is it very hard to find a coop job or summer job for students in Civil Engineering Technology in Toronto? Thanks everyone.

I have a question on the usage of geogrids:

1. Neear where an inlet from a storm sewer is on the road

2. Near a raised concrete median with a asphalt/bituminous roadway on both sides of the road

Specifically, if it has been proven to slow deterioration in extreme climates (extensive freeze/thaw cycles yearly), and as well as reducing maintenance costs over the lifetime of the surfaces.

I'm trying to research the usage of this as well as other deployments of geogrids in asphalt maintenance, so any case studies or research you may be able to point me towards would be extremely appreciated as well.

Thanks!

Hi all,

I'm currently working on a large-scale project, and my role is a design coordinator. I ensure the project is being built to spec and design.

The as-built is often different to the spec and drawing designs so we make updated revisions. I’ve been feeling super frustrated lately with document control issues—missing revisions, outdated drawings, and mistakes that lead to designs not being approved. It’s such a pain and feels like it’s slowing down everything.

What systems or tools are you using to avoid these problems? Have you found anything that actually works well?

Would love to hear how you’re managing this—or if you’re struggling with the same thing.

I'm interested in taking a civil engineering technician course at my local community college in Canada. I'm quite interested in civil engineering however don't have the funds and honestly find university to be quite daunting so the technician course is very appealing.

Is it common at all for technicians to be hired as engineers? Is it even worth going the technician route?

I've had a hard time finding specific information about what it's like being a technician vs how different it is compared to a real engineer.

Is it worth it to take two years to complete this course?

For some background I'm 31 and have primarily a construction labor background. I didn't think I'd have the opportunity to attend college until I found a program that would fund me. Luckily I was accepted! But choosing a course has been hard to say the least. I feel like anything must be better than just labouring and honestly I just want to distance myself from the majority of the commercial construction crew lol but beyond that I just want to be a bigger part of the process and not have my body destroyed in the next 10 years.

I realize this is a few questions in one but any help/advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hello, I’m wondering if anyone here works with the development of smart roads? & if so, how has your experience been?

I'll be doing daily site inspection on an upcoming job. It sounds like the owner is going to require us to use rental cars to access the site? Is this typical? Has anyone had a similar experience?

Hey everyone,

I'm curious if anyone has recent experience with Black & Veatch's remote work policy, specifically for mid-senior level substation/power engineering roles.

I came across a job posting that explicitly mentioned remote work, but I've also heard that they've shifted towards a hybrid model.

If you've recently secured a remote position at B&V or have insights into their current remote work policies, please share your experiences.

Any information would be greatly appreciated!

Hi guys :) I am going into the public sector as I have not enjoyed my time in consulting. I just received an offer from a municipality over the phone. The guy said, “we are offering xx per year, which is xx per hour. Are you going to accept?” I asked for paperwork to look at and he said he would send it after the call.

I am so confused is this normal for public job offers? I was off-put being asked to accept before even seeing the paperwork and looking over the full offer. I asked for time to make the decision and he said 3 business days is all they allow. I have never had this interaction with private consulting firms.

I was interested in the position but this interaction was weird to me. Just want to know if this was normal or if I should take it as a red flag.

I recently moved to California from a different country and I've got 4 years of experience as a Civil Engineer, two years in construction and two years in the design of water infrastructure. I'm not really familiar with the salary expectations this side of the world and I feel that some of the positions are offering quite low for the years of experience. What would be a good salary range? I am also in the process of completing my EIT and then pursuing my PE this side of the world?

Does anyone know a good way to figure out the head loss through a weighted check valve in a sewage pump station?

 Most of the pump stations I work on have weighted check valves on the discharge line. We typically install them because operators like the visual confirmation when the pump is running, and they provide a way to hold the check valve open if needed to empty the forcemain back into the wetwell.

 The problem I’ve encountered over the years is that there always seems to be a discrepancy between the actual flow of the pump station and my calculations. My theory is that the weighted check valves might be the cause.

Typically, I use a K value of 2 for the head loss coefficient for a 6” weighted check valve. However, I’m starting to believe that the “K” value might be much higher than typical when the valve is barely open (e.g., at flow velocities of 1 or 2 ft/s), potentially exceeding 10. When we turn the VFD up to full speed and the valve opens more, resulting in higher velocities (e.g., ~7 ft/s), the K value seems to drop back to a more typical value of around 2.

 Since I don’t typically account for different K values at varying flow velocities, this variation may not be reflected in my calculations. What do you think? Could this explain the discrepancies I’m seeing?

Hi engineers!!

I am new to reddit, but I have been enjoying my time here and I thought maybe I could use this to help and get advice too.

I am gonna finish my undergrad in civil this Summer 2025. I am an average student with average grades.

One thing that has been bothering me every time I am done with my term is the feeling of not learning enough and not remembering stuff that I learned. I am aware the reason I am attending college is to prepare me to become a competent engineer, but if I can’t even remember the stuff that I learned in class, how can I become competent?

Question for engineers that already working:

1. Did you guys feel like this too?
2. Do companies prepare new hire?
3. Am I over thinking it?

I've seen a lot of posts from students despairing at how difficult engineering school is, and how that leads to impostor syndrome later on. I also know that it's a normal part of engineering to continue your education independently as the needs of a project demand, so it's not like you know everything there is to know upon graduation. I'm a student, and when another student makes a mistake in class I've seen a lot of professors call them out on it and say that they should already know the material. It's not that the professor is necessarily wrong, it's how they go about it; it's not constructive, it's demoralizing, and I have to imagine that doesn't help with impostor syndrome.

To the professional civil engineers out there: How often do you experience that now that you're working? How often, be it your boss, a client, or a contractor you're working with, do you hear something like: "You're the engineer, shouldn't you already know?", and how do you respond?

Hello,

I have a second-round interview next week for a local county water district, and they let me know the first part would consist of a case study writing sample, then a brief presentation.

I’m coming from a Mechanical Engineering degree with a bit over 2 yoe in air quality permitting, but would like to transition into water. I had a summer internship during school for a wastewater contractor, but that’s about it for my experience in water.

I was just wondering if anyone had any ideas of what I should look out for or review beforehand to be well prepared. Thanks!

Hey guys,

I’ve been wanting to do a Masters degree in geotech but I guess I’m worried or afraid my gpa from my bachelors will make it very hard to get into a program. Some background about me, I went to RPI studied civil engineering and graduated with a 2.44 gpa in 2019. During that time I really was not passionate about any particular field and would’ve never thought I would want to do a Masters. I was just trying to get through college. Fast forward to present day, i’ve been working in geotech consulting for the past 4 years and recently passed my PE geotechnical exam and am just very passionate about the field of geotech. Never liked reading until recently, and have been devouring geotech textbooks for fun. I really want to continue learing and advancing my expertise in Geotech. Any advice/stories would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hello,
I am about to complete my BEng in Civil Engineering in the UK. I now have a decision to make and I was looking for advice.
I've been offered a place on the engineering graduate scheme at a nuclear defence company. The job description is the same for civil engineers as for mechanical, electrical etc... so I'm unsure as to exactly what projects I'll be working on and what responsibilities I'll have. Just that I'm doing 6 month rotations in different areas of the business. with a starting salary of £30-33k.

My second option is pursuing a MSc in Structural Engineering at Imperial College London. The course seems very interesting and I wonder if the prestige of Imperial will attract better offers and employers.

I was wondering if anyone has any experience in the defence sector and could tell me about it and also which is more important (Masters or Experience).

Thank you for your help!

Hi, I'm looking for advice on how to career change. I graduated with a bachelor's degree in statistics in 2021 and since then I held down a software engineering job focusing on full stack and the cloud for 1 year and got laid off. I originally wanted to pursue civil engineering, but I got missed some deadlines back then and I settled with statistics which I still really like. I really want to pivot and get the fuck out of the IT sector. From what I researched:

- virtually all CEE roles require a bachelor's degree instead of a master's degree.

- I've talked to grad school advisors and they said to pursue a master's degree with a modified program to accelerate my lack of engineering acumen. I know they might be just trying to sell the program, so I'm wary.

My tuition will be paid for my family (deep rooted family drama from before I was born that I don't want to go into).

I know there's a lot for me to learn, but I want to put in the effort and know it comes with an actionable result in the end. I've taken basic CEE classes like statics and zero force members, trusses, etc and I really liked material in my undergrad.

So you're thinking about becoming an engineer? What do you want to know?

So I just graduated in May and have now been at this company for about 6 months. The onboarding process here was a mess with no structure to it at all. And they keep pushing back my performance review. Originally I was going to have one at the 90 day mark... Now I'm just lumped in with everyone's end of year reviews but those havnt even happened yet. So throughout my whole time here I have not had one conversation about expectations or how I am doing.

Now that you have some context here is what my actual problem is. Lately I have just been feeling so useless at work wondering why they even hired me. I just feel like I've been here for a while now and still don't know anything. Havnt been getting assigned much work in the last month or so (could that just be because of the holidays?). And just overall feel like I'm not contributing as much as I should be. I just wish they would tell me how I'm doing, if I'm meeting expectations or what. Because not knowing if I'm on the right track or if I'm burdening the company has been making me kind of depressed and making my work a lot less fulfilling.

What was your guys experience a few months out of college? Are these common feeling? Or should I have been given more responsibility by now? Do you think the companies size has to do with how much guidance I've been given? (Work for a pretty small company)
