Structural engineers were even called upon to assist in the management of the World Trade Center and Oklahoma City bombings two national crises. The job market in the structural engineering field is without bound. Within firms and government positions, structural engineers take on several different projects wherever the need arises to accommodate a certain function, be it traffic congestion or office renovation. Accomplishments of structural engineers include the vast majority of bridges, the skeletons of towering skyscrapers, and every other structure that the common individual uses but doesn't takes for granted its origination. It was necessary for the dikes of the previous century to be replaced with modern technology, and structural engineers rose to the occasion.
Many current issues affect structural engineers.
The growing awareness of hazards in society make it more important than ever for engineers to be ethical and cautious in the design of structures in order to avoid legal complications. Some engineers have had to adopt a forensic attitude, performing autopsies on already constructed buildings, diagnosing their problems, and renovating them to conform with twenty-first century building standards. However, the most pressing issue in structural engineering remains economic. Personally, structural engineering is the most appealing of the four architectural engineering disciplines. I am attracted by the physics and statics of the profession, while material behavior in structures remains interesting.
