Becoming a Structural Engineer?

I'm a Sophomore in High School and I plan on becoming a structural engineer. I did a little research and found out that it would be best for me to look for a school with a strong civil engineering program that offers advanced studies in structural engineering. Then I should get a masters in structural engineering. My question is what colleges have a civil engineering programs that focuses on structural engineering?

  • In general, it is not necessary to get an advanced degree to become a structural engineer. There may be a few states in which it might be an advantage. As far as schools with civil engineering (CE) programs that also have a focus on structural engineering (SE), there are probably an average of 2 to 4 state (public) colleges in every state, and perhaps 1 to 2 private universities in every state that meet this requirement! CE and SE are among the most common and popular engineering fields. In general, no one cares what school you graduate from, as long as it's program is accredited, so don't spend more money than necessary. After decades of engineering, I'd take a grad from a public university (like New Mexico State or Idaho or North Dakota State or Oklahoma State or Tennessee or New hampshire or West Virginia Tech than from Stanford or MIT.

  • that is a project I surely have talked about with the Physics degree. I seen doing Physics yet discovered out it become not ordinary to get employed. I surely have considered this with a lot of my acquaintances too. that's puzzling to get a job with a physics degree. yet there are some issues incorrect along with your statement - there's a serious distinction between structural/civil engineer and an architectural engineer. Civil is the engineering and architectural is truly more suitable about layout. i does no longer flow into architectural at present. No jobs, and everyone needs to layout homes. Civil and structural don't have any jobs both because they are depending on the shape international - it truly is momentarily halted. in case you go with to be a structural engineer you should likely get your masters in civil/structural engineering - in spite of the undeniable fact that with a physics degree you recognize the basics. counting on the school they could make you're taking some undergraduate instructions. the subsequent step may be to take the EIT (engineering intern attempt). Then good success interest searching! wish this facilitates!

  • There are many, many schools that fit your criteria. Use the link below and try to narrow your choices.

  • Dear it is nicn thing to do.there r differentNIT so if u r a b.tech.in civil u can do this.
