Do you have experience using BIM software?
Many structural engineers believe that BIM software is the way of the future for the industry. BIM is a powerful tool that allows every component of the building to be modeled and analyzed. It is also important in coordinating construction and tracking progress of the project. Young engineers should work extremely hard to position themselves as leaders and experts in using BIM.
