Critical Infrastructure

Welcome to This Week in Civil Engineering (TWiCE), the first weekly audio and video podcast covering weekly news stories and events related to civil engineering and its sub-disciplines. In this week’s episode, we provide you with the latest news in the Civil Engineering industry including covering how the inspection Robot market has the potential to grow to 3.72 billion dollars between 2020 and 2024, bolstered by industries spanning energy, oil and gas, and mining. Also featured is how Percepto pivots from drone-based products to general robotics-driven inspections incorporating third-party platforms like Boston Dynamics’ Spot for the critical infrastructure .

Career Inspiration of the Week:

It might be difficult to look back and ask yourself what you have accomplished professionally this year. I recommend that you list your small wins every month to track your progress. It is much easier to look back on a course of a few weeks, compared to an entire year and to ask yourself what accomplished this year. In the coming year, consider listing your wins and goals each month, and you will see how it motivates you for the next month. This strategy is also extremely helpful when it’s time for your annual company review.

Quote of the Week:

 “You don’t need to be excellent at everything you do, but be authentic, understanding, and be a good listener to those around you.” ~ Muzamil Husain, PE
