0:00
good afternoon ladies what's your name
0:02
Department my name is alushi civil
0:05
engineering okay alushi and you Jor
0:08
America civil engineering okay okay so
0:11
uh what is civil engineering as a course
0:14
um civil engineering has to do with
0:17
construction has to do with building has
0:20
to do with a lot of things actually okay
0:22
yeah okay okay so why did you decide to
0:25
study civil engineering that has always
0:28
been what I have always wanted to do
0:31
it's from my passion it's what I wanted
0:34
for myself right from when I was in
0:36
secondary school I never saw myself
0:38
doing the medical course I'm not that
0:40
kind of person get I'm good in math I'm
0:43
good in technical drawing so that's what
0:44
gave me the key to doing civil
0:47
engineering okay okay okay uh she just
0:49
talk about she's good in mathematics and
0:52
she's good in technical drawing so let's
0:54
assume a student that is like doesn't
0:56
have a solid foundation in mathematics
0:59
and Technical drawing is it possible for
1:01
that person to do very well in civil
1:03
engineering um not really you have to
1:05
know how to calculate cuz um calculation
1:08
is everything civil engineer is
1:10
everything about calculation you do
1:11
calculation in building even this to
1:13
actually build a structure like this it
1:15
has do calculations to know the amount
1:17
of reinforcement everything is just
1:19
calculations and you should know your
1:20
drawing as well it's very necessary oh
1:22
okay it's Neary okay okay so can can you
1:25
describe like a typical day of a civil
1:27
engineering student like how does your
1:31
for for my department
1:35
for normally we just start our class
1:37
from 9:00 a.m. to 2 3 4 depending on the
1:41
lectures we have that day so it's not
1:43
like it's not taking the whole day it's
1:44
not that stressful it's not that
1:46
stressful just 1 hour highest 1 hour 30
1:48
minutes per class from 9 to 2 3 highest
1:53
is it possible like to do other things
1:55
like side as a civil engineering student
1:57
it's very possible so many students are
2:00
some student are doing online businesses
2:02
and it's not affecting you get it's not
2:05
affecting as a student you could have a
2:07
side hustle too okay so how many how
2:10
many years is this C 5 years 5 years yes
2:13
so do you guys go for like it something
2:16
like that yeah we just came back from
2:18
our it we did our it 400 level second
2:20
semester okay so yeah okay so can you
2:24
like just break down what you do from
2:27
your first year like which level is
2:31
200 level I would say 200 level was the
2:33
most challenging because that 100 level
2:35
it was mostly our secondary school work
2:37
so it was not that difficult but from
2:40
200 level it's just like entering what
2:42
civil engineer is all about so there was
2:44
there was a little Shake I don't think
2:45
it's for only me I feel everybody was
2:48
affected so have you had any like
2:50
challenging experience in terms of
2:52
academic so far um 300 level wasn't easy
2:56
at all it was complicated yeah I think
2:58
that's what we said the the main thing
3:00
about this CU 200 was had here but 300
3:03
like has to do like okay okay our lectur
3:05
even adven us as their colleagues to
3:08
tell you okay we in for the hard stuff
3:12
that are coming so yeah it's actually
3:14
challenging but we're in we're doing it
3:17
yeah so okay okay that is actually very
3:20
nice so you know generally engineering
3:22
courses you have mostly male students uh
3:25
so just tell me what the experience like
3:28
being a female and why do you think a
3:29
lot of ladies don't actually go for
3:31
engineering a lot of ladies don't go for
3:34
engineering because you know they're
3:36
obsessed with I want to be a nurse I
3:38
want to be a medical doctor most females
3:40
are going into medical line because it
3:43
suits them better but they are still
3:46
some females that do better in this men
3:49
field okay myself I would be one I be
3:52
one you get so I I grew up in a family
3:55
where I had three brothers I Sor Three
3:57
Brothers so staying with boys has always
3:59
been my thing you get so it's it's
4:02
comfortable it's just normal it's a
4:04
normal thing you Flo with them
4:06
normally so what are like are there like
4:09
different areas in civil engineering
4:11
like Specialties something like that
4:12
yeah yeah there are different
4:14
Specialties there are structural Hydro
4:17
Engineering water um geotechnical um
4:22
areas you know Highway yeah where we do
4:25
the roads and you know the bridges yeah
4:28
so that different different areas you
4:29
just have to know the one you are good
4:30
at or the one you have passion in yeah
4:33
okay so the last question is I just want
4:34
you to give me advice for those that
4:36
want to study this SCH civil
4:39
engineering if you can you should if
4:42
that's what you want then you should as
4:45
I I want to talk mostly for the females
4:47
if you know you are you are good in this
4:49
field go into it don't your mom your dad
4:53
they'll be like you should go for a
4:54
medical course as a girl why I've I've
4:56
been discouraged a lot of times you get
4:58
but I'm not looking at that I thank God
5:00
for a supportive I have a very
5:02
supportive dad I have a supportive mom
5:04
so it's keeping me strong wow that is
5:06
awesome that is awesome what your advice
5:09
well if you're a girl going for civil
5:10
engineering and you feel like that's
5:11
what you want to do don't let anybody
5:13
like push you away from it and also I
5:16
would advise you to research on the cost
5:19
very very important just research on the
5:20
cost research on what it entails what
5:22
you have to do and then the skills that
5:24
you need to learn because if you learn
5:25
most skills are going to definitely do
5:27
it like autocard if you learn it before
5:29
coming I think it's easier for you and
5:32
if you make research when you come when
5:33
you start doing the course there are
5:35
some things that will not be like um
5:38
looking different to be like familiar
5:40
cuz me I didn't really research on it I
5:41
just wanted to do building but I didn't
5:43
know it entails like a lot of things and
5:45
a lot of difficulties yeah so like like
5:47
you make research and be sure of what
5:48
you want to do and then when you go for
5:50
it just stand strong and you can
5:52
actually do it it's not that hard wow
5:54
wow wow so is it possible as a student
5:56
to make money like from your course like
5:58
maybe Al to something like that mhm mhm
6:02
Auto card software programming there lot
6:05
of things you get a lot of St works yeah
6:09
yeah yeah that's really awesome so thank
6:11
you very much uh that will be all
