Strength and Sustainability. No this is not the title of a Jane Austin novel. It’s a new competition coming soon. Tony Gee and Partners Mark Scrivener and Bradley Stone will be hosting a competition in partnership with University of Surrey and the ICE Early Careers Network (ECNet) South-East England – Thames Valley in September 2024 to see who can make the strongest most sustainable cube. Keep an eye out for future posts coming soon with more details. This is #civilengineering This is Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) This is #sustainability

How did I learn the ropes in my career? I pretty much just wrote and wrote and wrote content, trial and error learning. There were a couple of HubSpot modules I did here and there, but actual training and specialist advice was relatively thin on the ground in my early professional years. It was fun, but (perhaps it's just me) I kinda think learning about marketing makes you better at marketing... Anyhow, my point is that I'm delighted to see the engineers in our team at Metis Consultants | Certified B Corp™️ get some top advice on developing their careers and building towards success ❤️ #careerdevelopment #marketing #engineering #civilengineering

“If you’re a transfer student considering the Goodnight Scholars Program, my advice is simple: apply. This program is life-changing.” In this Spotlight, Caleb Hill shares how the Goodnight Scholars Program has helped him thrive at NC State and pursue his dream career in civil engineering.

A month or so ago, I was featured in the Civil Engineering Magazine of the American Society of Civil Engineers to share the great work my colleagues and I have been putting into our Intro to Civil Engineering summer course at Purdue University, "Developing Tomorrow' Infrastructure: an Introduction to Civil Engineering." The course is a great way to inspire students to choose a career in Civil Engineering and to share the research we have been conducting during our Ph.D. studies.

🔧 "When a Foundation Taught Me About Foundations" 🔧 Once I was on a construction site, excited to see the real-world application of my textbooks. As I watched workers pour the foundation, I realized how much it resembled life: - You can’t rush it. - Every layer matters. - If you don’t get the base right, everything else suffers. It was one of those moments where theory meets reality, and it left me both humbled and inspired. As I continue my journey in civil engineering, I’m curious: What was your first “aha” moment in the field? #LearningOnSite #EngineeringLessons #FoundationsOfGrowth

We were excited to support Clemson University's Springer 1 Design Charrette with sophomore Civil Engineering students back in October. This hands-on project focuses on reimagining Dawson Park for the City of Clemson, where students are learning essential skills like AutoCAD design, ADA accessibility, and stakeholder engagement. Industry support in initiatives like this is vital to student development. Through Hill Electric’s involvement, we’re proud to help bridge academia and real-world application, ensuring students gain valuable insights into engineering and construction. Here’s to building a stronger, more prepared workforce! #HillElectric #ClemsonUniversity #EngineeringEducation #WorkforceDevelopment #IndustrySupport Clemson University School of Civil and Environmental Engineering and Earth Sciences

Sign up now to join my online course 𝗘𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗵𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗥𝗖 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗥𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗟𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗦𝗲𝗶𝘀𝗺𝗶𝗰𝗶𝘁𝘆! The course is being held as four 2-hr webinars across 4 consecutive Wednesdays in November from 6/11 to 27/11. The content of the course has been meticulously curated to specifically target practising structural engineers, with worked examples and practical solutions to the tough design scenarios encountered on real life projects. The course will address the hard topics and attempt to leave no curly questions unanswered. But Scott you ask, who should attend and why?? • 𝗜’𝗺 𝗮 𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗱𝘂𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗿: let’s face it, you likely didn’t learn about earthquake engineering or the lateral design of RC buildings in any meaningful detail at university, and therefore you’ve got everything to gain by attending! • 𝗜’𝗺 𝗮 𝗺𝗶𝗱-𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹 𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗿: you might have used ETABS, but you might also have no idea what’s really going on under the hood, and you can’t push the program to the limits if you don’t understand the core concepts and underlying theory! • 𝗜’𝗺 𝗮 𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗼𝗿/𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗮𝗹 𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗿: you’ve probably done plenty of lateral designs on RC buildings, but maybe you want to sharpen your skills and learn about some more advanced analysis techniques to push your designs harder and get a more cost-effective solution for your client! • 𝗜’𝗺 𝗮 𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗱𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿: you probably cut your teeth on engineering back when the front cover of Australian Standards were yellow, so attending the course will ensure you’re keeping current with the subtle (and sometimes not so subtle) changes to AS 1170.4 and AS 3600!
