Hello and Namaste,

Wishing a happy Tihar to all of you.

This week, we present a conversation with Swastik Bhandari, a Project Consultant at Civil and Environmental Consultants. Swastik got his master’s degree in civil engineering with a focus on water resources from southern Illinois university Carbondale and is a professional engineer working as a consultant. In this episode, we discuss ins and outs of Civil engineering career in the US from Swastik’s point of view, we hope you will enjoy it.

We start the conversation with chitchat about football and begin by introducing Swastik’s job description. We talk about many aspects of civil engineering and career in the US. Probably the most informative nugget in this episode is about the fundamentals of engineering and the professional engineering certification that almost every civil engineering graduate in the US takes. While it is not mandatory, Swastik explains how having these certifications helped him with his career.

All in all, this was a good conversation with a lot of interesting informative nuggets, and by our character a conversation about living as ex-pats on foreign soil. Hope you will enjoy it. Thanks
