Studying in the Civil
Engineering Department For some students who live it is a dream that has long
been dreamed of. But for some others it is a pressure and burden that feels
very heavy. That is the reality, everyone has different responses and responses
to the things he experienced on the Engineering campus. Previously you need to
remember again, so many want to enter the civil engineering department and this
can be seen from the selection registrants entering the national college SNMPTN
or SPMB or whatever the name suggests. So like it or not you have to learn to
love your campus. but that doesn't mean because of love, you have to study for
7 years, DO NOT. To deal with the world of work and where we apply your
knowledge later, it is necessary from the beginning to train and develop skills
and abilities while studying in Civil Engineering. For those of you who now
feel trapped in the world of Civil Engineering, try asking yourself, what makes
you feel uncomfortable at a civilian campus? Is it because of the many
calculations? Is it because of lecturers who are killers? Or is it because in
the classroom you can't see beautiful girls every day? forget it all and focus
on seeking knowledge and the ability to become a Reliable Engineer.
In living as a civil
engineering student, the following skills and abilities must be owned by you to
become a reliable engineer in the future. What are the 9 skills and abilities
that civil engineering students must have?
1. PATIENCE AND CONTROL
OF RELIABILITY
By studying in Civil
Engineering, high school friends and classmates must have been a bit of a scoff
at what the campus technique looks like. The people are not cool, not stylish,
the girls have a little, the grooming is also sober. Then you must exercise
patience on these assumptions. If not, your brain will heat up quickly and it
is not impossible that you will be easily provoked by emotions and cause
undesirable things. In addition, when studying in class, you have to exercise
patience to listen and understand the words of the lecturer. Moreover,
lecturers who are lectured in giving lectures are flat and honest, many are
boring. If we do not exercise patience, the knowledge that the lecturer will
deliver will not be understood.
2. STRONG PHYSICS
This is an important
requirement that you must have. With a strong physique, you will be easier to
study in the world of civil engineering. Imagine if your physique is weak, you
have to handle aggregate, destroy split stones, sift to get a good gradation.
Also have to stand under the hot sun to take coordinates. drawing hours, and
other physical needs in lectures and civil engineering practicums. Things that
can be done to keep your body healthy are regulating a regular diet, regular
sleep, exercising, often drinking fruit juice and protecting yourself from
illegal drugs.
3. DISCLAIMER TO FACE
PRESSURE
To undergo a civil
engineering course, you must be used to training yourself to be able to deal
with various pressures. not only the pressure caused by lectures. All pressure
must be faced with calm and confidence. Your family may not know how to
pressure college in civil engineering, but they keep asking when you will
graduate? whereas indirectly it actually adds to your pressure. not to mention
having to face the pressure that you have to succeed in a civil engineering
college because you are a family hope. while in college you also have to be
able to deal with the complexity of working with various software, calculating
countless numbers, as well as standard language tomes that we don't understand
and so on. That way you have to stay calm, because if you are even tense and
unable to deal with these pressures, it is not impossible that you will
unconsciously be bad.
4. GOOD COMMUNICATION
ABILITY
In the world of your
employment later, you must communicate with many parties. be it clients,
consultants, surveyors or architects. You must have the ability to say what
your mind imagines and thinks. Try training and getting used to communicating
with as many friends as possible.
5. GOOD DRAW SKILLS
Drawing is a language
commonly used by Engineers, with a picture of an engineer can convey thousands
of words. with drawing you can pour your imagination and ideas without having
to express it in words. Even though now you are helped a lot with AutoCad, at
least your playing skills must remain good. Because it could be in the field,
the owner or contractor asks for a sudden explanation of what the reinforcement
design is like. then you can easily answer with a piece of paper. Try to make
any sketches that interest you and pour the creative ideas that you like. Don't
think about what people will say about your work, but focus on drawing and
moving the perspective of your brain's imagination into a piece of paper.
6. STRONG
IN CALCULATION
Calculation is the
thing that is most often found in civil engineering lectures. Train your
numeracy skills, even though you have a calculator, when you use college, the
calculator is only for controlling the truth. If you always rely on a
calculator, it means that you spoil your brain in terms of counting and will
make your brain weaker in counting. To practice calculation, if you can't
describe and process the calculation in your brain, then you can do it with
your finger hand.
7. GOOD COMPUTER SKILLS
Now computers have
taken over the calculation of the structure from what was once manual. now it's
very difficult to find a manual calculation of the structure. Now the engineers
use ETABS, STAAD, AutoCAD, SAP 2000 and other supporting software. To operate
all the software, the ability of the computer is above the standard. If you
have computer phobia, then start practicing by playing games that are still
related to calculations or structural drawings.
8. GOOD CONFIDENCE
In civil engineering
various kinds of variables can be filled and replaced with various constants.
So clearly, the results of the calculation and the image of each engineer will
be different, so you have to have confidence in what you make. with your confidence
in what you make, other people will also believe in what you do.
9. TIME MANAGEMENT
If
you are used to doing things that are a waste of time, as much as you reduce,
manage your time with usefulness. As we know, TIME is Money! Try to make a
schedule and set goals for each day. That way you will more easily resolve
demands and pressure. And also for sure you will be right on time.
