What inspired you to become a structural engineer?
长大后,我一直对事情的运作方式感到好奇。我受到父亲解决他的建筑项目的影响,并有机会自愿参加当地的自建造社区项目,例如建造全新的社区中心,以及将废弃2级列出的建筑物的再生纳入小学。
It was stimulating and exciting to discuss ideas, solve challenges and be part of a team that was turning drawings and digital models into bricks and mortar. I realised I wanted to leave my mark by evolving the skyline - designing beautiful, functional buildings that improve the lives of others.
我于2015年毕业于考文垂大学(Coventry University),曾担任民事和结构工程的Meng,包括工业安置年份。
What are the greatest achievements in your career to date?
在整个职业生涯中,我都有机会从事许多有趣的项目,包括:
- Construction site management and engineering of five water treatment works upgrade projects, which served clean water to the East Midlands
- Winning the 2014 IStructE Midlands Research Award (for my dissertation on the structural connection behaviour of Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer hollow profiles)
- 工程沉船(可容纳甲板攀岩框架和冰块径)
- 在结构上调查世界上最大的Primark
- Concept design of HS2 Manchester Piccadilly Station, Manchester Airport Station and Birmingham's tallest residential tower, the Mercian.
- Successfully hosting the IABSE Future of Design 2019 Conference in Birmingham.
您将如何定义结构工程?
结构工程是创造力,数学和科学设计和构建安全和经济结构的综合。我们将建筑师的视野转化为物理,有形的结构 - 从摩天大楼和桥梁到艺术雕塑和过山车。
结构工程很重要,因为它为房屋,办公室,医院和学校提供了防风雨框架。花点时间记住您越过桥梁,参观博物馆,参加足球比赛的所有时间;结构工程通过改造过去和发明未来,将人,地方和帮助发展城市联系起来。
Who should become a structural engineer?
Structural engineers enjoy combining science, creativity and digital design to make an impact on society. If you enjoy working in multi-disciplinary teams and solving problems it is the career for you.
What do you find valuable about Graduate Membership?
Graduate Membership allows me to collaborate and converse with like-minded individuals united around the practice of structural engineering.
I’m currently preparing for my Chartered Membership exam and interview. Chartered Membership would mean achieving a personal milestone, additional project responsibilities, more freedom to influence projects and opportunities to travel.
您如何与机构互动?
我活跃于我的区域小组,以前担任传播官并设立了第一个区域集团Instagram帐户。区域小组活动是与设计师建立联系,讨论项目,挑战和达到知识的好方法。
I’m a frequent attendee of IStructE events at HQ and through my Regional Group. These events provide a great opportunity for forming relationships, learning and getting inspired.
有史以来第一次制造数字设计和计算会议令人惊叹,因为它突出了成为一名结构工程师的激动人心的时光,因为该行业正在21世纪发展。
I also find结构工程师magazine to be a brilliant resource in my work, particularly for its technical guidance notes, project focus and engineer profiles.
