Mentorship And Internship!!!

[Waqar Saleem]

in engineering mentorship is very important for fresh engineers/final year students to get boost in learning basic techniques and practical knowledge from experienced seniors so is the internship for serious students.i request seniors that please show their willingness for mentorship and accommadte freshers/.final year students with them.that wud be great help for engineering students.please upload your willingness here and your field of experties and your location.thanx

[Waqar Saleem]

no one uploaded anything even RANA sab just liked anyhow thanx Rana sab i am student so i didnt upload my experties location and my willingness for accommodating students and freshers for internship and mentorship ,so plz seniors come forward and do not hesitate to give a helping hand

[UmarMakhzumi]

It is a good idea but most of us are not in Pakistan. If you are interested I can pm you the name of the firm where I worked and you can apply there.

i was very busy on last weekend...hope to upload material this weekend...give me details what type of material exactly you need...plus about internships..i dont have any idea about companies in pakistan...as i never did a job in pakistan...except a training (internship)

[Waqar Saleem]

that is interactive help i have been searching this for a long time glad to have this beautiful response,thank you both of you brothers.@umar i have an idea about the mentorship it is not necessary that you are in Pakistan or abroad we can use skype or wiziq that is teaching website having nice classroom and informal and formal meetings their not often it might be once a week or so,that wudn't be beneficial for all and make forum stronger i think so.also plz pm me the address and any reference person if possible for you.

@Rana i need help in this manner that how to start designing structures and get grasp the do's and don'ts my idea is if you assign me some thing a small structure then bit complex and so on and i d work on that you review my working as mentor and tell me my blunders so that i be careful next time,i am willing to work n learn !!!

[WR1]

in which semester you are? do you know how to use FEM tools? ETABS etc? i quite often have private structural tasks...and im willing to teach you if you can work for me! but first let me know by sending me an email or PM that what is your level?

[Muhammad Abbas]

@ranna waseem....have you worked on ETABS for design of building?

[WR1]

@ranna waseem....have you worked on ETABS for design of building?

lolx this is what i do...you have any questions ?

[Falak Naz]

i m a d.a.e civil and site engineer in a low grade construction firm. i am very interesting to seek the knowledge of structure design. i have try to seek but not succeed till now. any one who know about structure design please reply me how i can gain this knowledge. by using books software etc.

Its great that you have a yearning for Structural Design but if you are interested you should probably upgrade from DAE to engineering. That would the starting point for you.

Any job Oppurtunity For fresh civil engineers....??..jst graduated 2 months ago from UET peshawar....my intrest is in the field of structural engineering....

[Waqar Saleem]

Best of LUck brother !!!there is one opportunity exactly for you, just you have to show that you are looking for it, it will approach you itself :-)

[ahmad]

thanx..but what it will be/.... i mean approaching by itself....!!!..Confused...

[Waqar Saleem]

i mean there are jobs always which suit a person best and you have to do a lil struggle !!!pray to Allah and ask for His help then try you will be blessed.May Allah bless you

[ahmad]

many thanx......and by the way wht r u doing...??/ i mean job..??/or studying..?

[Waqar Saleem]

hmmmm i am final year student

[haro0n]

nice topic started @waqar bhai but still there is no senior to work on this .. may be we get some but most important is to share this idea with more and more engineers so that they know about this...

@rana waseem, i m graduate from QUEST nawabshah, my final year thesis was on design of a multistorey building by using etabs. recently i m a lecturer at muet szab campus khaipur, i want to learn more about etABS, dear if u have private structural tasks then plz send me just for learning purpose

sir, iam final year student in civil engineering Mehran, i have thesis on design both manual and on Etab. I have started learning Etab recently on private center. if you please give us ur expertise and assistance in this field, i will be thankful to you..

Aoa.

 

I agree with haro0n that this is a very nice topic. Thanks to waqar saleem for starting this important topic.

 

IMHO, this sub-forum is a very good platform for the engineering students in several ways. For example, here they can discuss their structure related  problems, learn practical aspects of civil & structural engineering and share their structural knowledge as well.

 

This all is however not possible without active participation from seniors. I understand that the seniors, especially the experienced ones, might be very busy in their professional duties (experience in structural engineering means a lot of study as well as a lot of hard work). and they may not having much time to spare for this forum.

 

Everybody who works in an office, organization or firm as a structural engineer, gathers experience by carrying out different types of design jobs. Therefore, he/she can and should share his/her experience at this forum, whenever a similar problem is discussed here.

 

I however sincerely feel that all of us should give some time to this Forum, particularly 'students zone' sub-forum regularly, and share our experience and knowledge here.

 

This would certainly help our student colleagues, in developing better ideas and learning more practical engineering knowledge, thereby making them better engineers. 

 

I will myself, insha-allah, try to visit this sub-forum as regularly as possible, and to share whatever experience and knowledge I have gathered, as and when it may be needed.    

 

 

@Abdul Razzaque, and @Musawer!

 

It is my personal experience that it is very difficult to learn structural designing on your own, unless you have an actual job to do. Similar is the case of application of a structural software (e.g., ETABs, SAP2000, etc.) for practical design of structures. No doubt that you may learn the use of ETABS etc and get certificate for it as well. however, you cannot use it properly or efficiently, if you do not understand how various commands & options of ETABS relate to a real structure.

 

At this forum, strictly IMHO, it is not possible for any one to teach you structural engineering, or modeling with ETABS etc, from scratch.

 

The best possible way therefore should be that you should look around you and find some experienced structural engineer, whether working on his own or for some organization or firm. Start working for him, even if you have to work without any financial benefits, and ask him to give you some actual job for designing. Once you get some real design job, you may use your engineering knowledge, and ETABS as well (if it is frame type structure) to perform the structural designing. You may discuss the practical aspects of your assigned job in this forum (in addition to asking your structural engineer boss), should you have some queries or need some help in performing its design. In this way, you are more likely to learn structural designing as well as practical use of structural software (ETABS etc).

 

WORD OF CAUTION: Always remember that no software (ETABS or else) is a structural engineer. It is just a better quality calculator, that can help the structural engineer analyze and design structural frames comparatively quickly and reliably, provided you understand the capabilities & limitations of the software very well, and can apply them to your structural problem correctly.  

[Waqar Saleem]

great response !!! cent per cent agreed that without real design job and without a mentor(senior structural engineer) it is impossible to learn the designing rather it is an abuse to the profession.
