What You Need To Know to Pursue A Career in Civil Engineering

[Indianapolis, Ind.] — The latest episode of American Structurepoint’s Making Our Point podcast explores civil engineering as a career choice. This is the second in a series of podcasts that focuses on providing insights about the different types of engineering to help young adults determine whether engineering is right for them.

American Structurepoint Vice President Shawn Goodwin shares insights about the projects civil engineers often tackle. He provides excellent insights for people considering a civil engineering career, such as qualifications needed, what to expect when entering the field, career paths for civil engineers, and more.

Civil engineering touches on many different engineering disciplines like transportation, utility infrastructure, and planning. Civil engineers often work hand in hand with developers and local officials to bring new businesses and development to a community.

“Civil engineers get to see a project from an initial concept all the way through construction, which is a really cool thing to see,” Goodwin said.

Goodwin says American Structurepoint is a great place for engineering graduates to begin a career because the group has a fun, team-oriented culture, and they work on community-defining projects that improve the quality of life for people.
