He talks about the biggest project he’s worked on, building deep beneath the surface - up to 50 metres underground, and why this blows his mind. We also debunk common engineering stereotypes and discuss what it takes to make it in the industry.\nOur Sponsor – Building and Construction Authority!\nIf you want to find out more about a possible career in the Built Environment sector, check out https://www.buildsg.gov.sg\n(00:00) Building and Construction Authority\n(00:25) Intro\n(01:49) Engineering Education and Career Path\n(05:53) Civil and Mechanical Engineering\n(10:34) Civil Engineering Projects\n(18:15) Deep Tunnel Sewerage System (DTSS)\n(21:13) Site Visits and Construction Details\n(26:54) Project Management Dynamics\n(27:25) Progression and Responsibilities in Engineering\n(29:03) Professional Recognition and Credentials\n(33:35) Impact of Climate on Engineering\n(35:06) Technological Challenges in Engineering\n(43:48) Qualities of a Successful Engineer\n(46:49) Geoshua's Proud Engineering Moments\n(52:08) Public Perception of Engineering\n(54:44) Life as an Engineer\n(56:00) Emotional Connection to Projects\n(59:51) Inspiration in Design\n(01:04:18) One Shiok Thing\nOne Shiok Thing\nInside Hitler's Final 48 Hours\nI was 'Kid With Crocs'\nTom Yam Fish Soup At Got Spot Cafe Restaurant\nComment on this episode!\nReddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/YahLahBut/\nTelegram: https://t.me/YahLahButPodcast\nFollow us on our socials for the latest news\nTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@yahlahbut\nIG: https://www.instagram.com/yahlahbut/\nFB: https://www.facebook.com/yahlahbutpod\nMics and Headphones from @shure\nChairs from @ergotunechair\nEdited and mixed by Tristen Yeak","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/P-FL68bNyrAJP_EUfxDZLWp-CdkgeA4hsvYhFh8IVPw/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8xNGVh/NjE1ZTIzODk2ODEx/ZmIwNDkwZWU1NDEy/ZGE4OS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
