This strategic partnership aims to foster collaboration, innovation, and knowledge sharing in the field of civil engineering, particularly in precast technology. The MoU will enable our students and faculty to engage in: - Joint research projects - Internships and training programs - Industry-academia collaborations - Knowledge sharing and expertise exchange VME Precast Products #CivilEngineering #PrecastConstruction #SVCE #MoU

Here’s more from our summer interns! Listen as they describe their favorite moments and the first-hand experience they’ve gained in the areas of civil engineering, mechanical engineering, and land surveying. #NationalInternDay

Excited to share that I have successfully completed the "45 Days Internship on Building Construction Practice Onsite" course on Udemy! This comprehensive program covered bar bending schedules, estimation, practical aspects of civil engineering, structural drawing readings, and project planning using Excel. It was an enriching experience that has significantly enhanced my skills and knowledge in site engineering.  #Udemy #CourseCompletion #BuildingConstruction #CivilEngineering #SiteEngineering #ProfessionalDevelopment #LearningJourney #CareerGrowth

MEET THE INTERNS! Name: Liath Lenihan Role: Student Civil/Structural Engineer Department: Civil/Structural Engineering College Degree: Civil Engineering in Munster Technological University (Kerry Campus) Hobbies: Football and Running Favourite project and why? My favourite project I have been involved in so far is a large three phase housing development in Limerick, which is currently still in the design stage. I really enjoy working on this project as you get to see many different aspects of the work involved. Working with a skilled group of structural engineers, I have aided in designing some of the structural elements for this housing development. I have enjoyed this project a lot as I have been involved in it since the beginning so I’m seeing it move through the different design stages. This project allowed me to become familiar with new calculation software. Experience gained so far: During my work experience so far in MWP, I have learned how to put information learned in college into real life projects while also learning new information from the engineers here in MWP. I have learned how to use new software such as Tekla Tedds that I otherwise mightn’t have seen till after finishing my degree. I have learned how to complete new tasks and calculations that I wouldn’t have done previously, this is with the help of the team of engineers. Most challenging and rewarding aspect of your role: The most challenging aspect of my role at MWP is adjusting from college to my first professional role in engineering. When beginning placement there is a big learning curve and lots of new information to digest. Once you begin projects and put the information to use, it gives a rewarding feeling of accomplishment for completing new tasks. Aims for the next few years: My aim for the next few years is to finish my degree in Civil Engineering in MTU. After that I would like to carry on my studies in a master’s programme. My time here on placement is helping me decide on what area I would like to complete my master’s programme in. The knowledge I have gained during this internship will greatly help me finish my studies! #mwp #engineering #interns #consultancy

Due to having the attention span of a pencil, I haven't yet completed the Civil Engineering Work Experience provided by Springpod and the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) 😔 However, even at 40% through with it I have learned SO MUCH I didn't know. Biomimicry and the integration of natural systems into infrastructure to increase adaptability and accelerate progress to a sustainable future? That using Green Roofs on flat roofs could save up to 26% in energy consumption and save 30M gallons of water from stormwater runoff (figure from NY study)? ⛈️ That Kinetic Surfaces were even a thing, and that they could HARNESS THE ENERGY OF YOUR FOOTSTEPS IN A PIEZOELECTRIC MANNER AND CONVERT IT INTO ELECTRICITY??? ⚡ That Self-healing Cement consists of bacteria that produce LIMESTONE when in contact with water thereby plugging up cracks due to disrepair? 🩹 I am currently still in secondary school 🎓 and am amazed that none of these practical and awe-inspiring innovations have been presented to students. This leads me on to a tangent point, students are not educated enough on their future. Yes we have career evenings and assemblies, but no one ever talks about what happens after sixth form and college... Gap years? Apprenticeships? Internships? University? Before delving into career pathways to further expand my knowledge into the unknown, I had no idea what any of these things even meant. And this is the problem, by the time students like me ARE educated, or have educated THEMSELVES on such topics, it may already be too late; leading to a hurried and potentially stressful choosing of paths. Perhaps its just me but I'm pretty sure myself 1 year ago would go to any lengths for such knowledge; but then again maybe its an info hazard, with a correlation between stress and information 🤷♂️ Obviously I speak from 0 experience of post-college life. These are just my thoughts. Please enjoy the presentation I made (subsequent to instruction from the Work Experience). Happy pondering... #SpringpodVWEX #Civil_Engineering #education #apprenticiships #work

6 years ago, I was starting my college career. 6 years ago, I was moving into a college dorm to start my first year of full-time engineering coursework. I knew at the time that I wanted to pursue civil engineering, but had no idea what I wanted to do with my degree. I took a variety of classes, had a variety of jobs on campus within the engineer departments, and took on mulitple internships. It wasn't until I heard Michael Dukes, P.E. give a presentation about bridge inspection that something inside me clicked - Bridge Inspection. Structures. Field work. Project management. Load ratings. And so much more. That's what I wanted. To all of the college students who are still trying to figure out what you want - try everything. Once you find your passion, everything else will fall into place.

Unlocking Your Dream Job as a Civil Engineer: A Student’s Roadmap to Success Here are some key strategies that can set you apart and make employers take notice: 1. Focus on Academics: Excelling in key subjects like structural analysis and geotechnical engineering can make a big difference. 2. Gain Practical Experience: Internships at construction firms give you hands-on experience and a taste of real-world challenges. 3. Certifications Matter: Master industry-standard software like AutoCAD, Revit, and STAAD Pro. Certifications show employers that you’re ready to contribute from day one. 4. Take Part in Projects: Participate in extracurricular technical projects, competitions, and workshops. These experiences are great for your resume and make for great interview stories! 5. Build a Network: Connect with professionals and alumni on platforms like LinkedIn, attend industry events, and make use of your internship connections. 6. Develop Soft Skills: Strong communication and teamwork are just as important as technical expertise. Civil engineers often work in teams and lead projects. 7. Leverage Campus Placements: Be prepared for recruitment drives. Brush up on your technical knowledge and practice for aptitude tests. 8. Research & Innovation: If possible, contribute to research or publish papers on civil engineering topics. It’s a great way to showcase your interest in innovation. #CivilEngineering #EngineeringStudents #CareerTips #Internships #Networking #JobSearch #Certifications
