Engineering on YouTubeIn episode 081 of The Civil Engineering Podcast, I talk with Grady Hillhouse, P.E.,  a Civil Engineer in San Antonio, Texas about Engineering on YouTube and how he has grown his YouTube channel to almost a half million followers, and more importantly how he is making more people aware of engineering.

Here are some of the questions I ask about his work discussing engineering on YouTube:

  • How did this YouTube channel hobby start for you?
  • What are your goals for this youtube channel?
  • Is maintaining this channel very time-consuming?
  • How often do you publish videos?
  • How does having this channel affects your civil engineering career?
  • What are your future plans for your YouTube channel?

Here are some key points discussed in this episode:

  • People don’t have much exposure to the field of engineering. I want to make engineering interesting to other people and explain the passion I have for my job.
  • This YouTube channel is a hobby for me and something I do in my free time.
  • My YouTube channel communicates engineering in a way that people who are not technical or don’t have a lot of exposure to that field, can also understand.
  • I have a responsibility to the profession which I take very seriously. I want to make sure that people see the best side of what we do.
  • Exploring parts of engineering that I did not have much knowledge on before, has helped me to become a more well-rounded engineer.
