    Should've called it "Structural support".

    Funny how 90% of the questions are not about structural engineering at all, but other aspect of civil engineering. As a civil engineer I can say you answered them spot on though!

    He's not "just" a structural engineer, his knowledge of each aspect of civil engineering is astounding. Beautiful video.

    I wanna point out how these videos are such a great way for children to explore careers and not to mention seeing someone who looks like them be an expert in their field. Well done Wired.

    I’m still blown away by cathedrals built in the 1300s.<br>Generational projects that are incredibly technically fantastic.<br><br>‘What is your favorite building’ is a staple ice breaker exercise for my group.

    As a structural engineer im amazed at what this guy knows. Some of the questions i would not consider to be our job like the question about traffic lights. Also some questions that were asked are for a specialized kind of structural engineer but he knew the answeres anyway. Im impressed!

    In Germany, traffic lights may also be deliberately programmed out of phase or particularly in phase for slow speeds, to slow down traffic. I.e. in a 30 zone you can either go fast and have to stop on each red light, or go slow and arrive at the perfect time.

    This guy was sooo good, loved how well he explained everything, plus his ideas of ideal architecture too. Bring him back!!

    As a structural engineering university professor, I sometimes think I might gesticulate too much when explaining some things. It was so reassuring to see Dr. Nehemiah do the exact same movements :) We need to &quot;reinforce&quot; those definitions with our hands :)

    Worth noting many of the existing subways in NYC replaced elevated lines. Elevated lines were unsightly, noisy, made local housing undesirable and the areas beneath them were dark and often attracted seedy characters. They ran on coal so they spewed pollution. Subways are far superior, particularly for places as dense as NYC.
