| 12 Feb 2021 | Episode 55 - A Primer on Forensics | 00:32:23 | |
This weeks guest is a little different than usual. We're talking with Sarah Lazar, a very specific recruiter working for the firm LVI. Sarah recruits for forensic engineering firms and only in the Midwest, but we're not talking to Sarah because we're looking for a job. She is also passionate and knowledgeable about the field of forensics structural engineering and offered to share what she knows with us. we hope you like it. Also, we've started a little newsletter. Now I know more email is not what most people are looking for, but we're hoping you'll make an exception. Every Tuesday morning we send out a short snip highlighting the most important engineering related story of the past week, as well as a 1 minute trivia for those studying for an exam or looking to stay sharp.

Warning: This is not an episode we know all that much about! We talked with Kevin LaMalva who wrote the book (many of them) on performance based fire engineering. This is not that episode, that comes next. Before we get to the high level, Zach and I try to learn for ourselves what the IBC says about fire proofing, how it is applied, and what structural engineers should know.

| 19 Sep 2019 | Episode 25 - Wise Words from a Structural Plans Reviewer | 00:37:20 | |
If you're familiar with the term "frenemy", this is how many engineers might describe a plans reviewer. Plans reviewers hold the key to getting your project through city/county approval. It's an important step in assuring we have safe buildings to live and work in., and..... it can be kinda annoying. Sit down this week and learn what plans reviewers look for in a project, what is a clean calc packet, and probably the best job search advise we've heard yet.

| 23 Jan 2024 | Episode 80 - The future of Mass Timber - Countless Reasons To Learn | 00:42:31 | |
In this installment, we delve further into the realm of Mass Timber design. As the popularity of this material rises, we're looking forward to continuing out education and helping spread the conversation. Our guest for this episode is Mark Robertson, an engineer who has been at the forefront of the Mass Timber movement throughout his entire career. Join the discussion, and feel free to ask any questions you may have for him (or us). Let's explore the exciting developments in Mass Timber together! | |||

| 03 Jun 2021 | Episode 60 - Sustainability with Holmes | 00:40:48 | |
This week we talk with Megan Stringer and Erik Kneer of Holmes Structures. Both Megan and Erik are committed advocates for more sustainable practices in structural design. I admittedly didn't know how much SE's could do to reduce the total carbon emissions of a building project, but I was happy to find not only do we have a role in this space, but it's truly crucial to a sustainable, low carbon future.

| 17 Jun 2021 | Episode 61 - Mighty Buildings | 00:32:48 | |
In this episode we talk with Sam Ruben, the Co-founder of Mighty Buildings, a company attempting to change the way we build residential and even commercial structures through 3D printing. At the SEP we believe the future of structures should, and will, look a lot different then our current practice. (Do you know how long we've been building houses with wood!?) If I were to place a bet, I think 3D printing will be a big portion of that, and these guys have a very cool system to help us get there. Email: info@theengineeringpodcast.com | |||
| 23 Jan 2020 | Episode 33 - Dynamic Isolation Duo | 00:40:22 | |

| 23 Feb 2024 | Episode 82 - Financial Engineering | 01:02:07 | |
This week is unique for us, as it's not a direct structural engineering resource but it's a topic that I am certain you need to understand while you plan out your career. Zach and I are talking with Ryan Sullivan, an engineer who left his design job to go after a passion in financial planning. This is a great story for all the engineers with a pocket full of "numbers" questions, and we finally have the right person to ask. So join in while we learn how we should think about this critical, and engineering adjacent, decision framework for your work life. Ryan Website can be found here: https://www.obpfinancial.com/ And I also wanted to link in Connor's (Episode 77) new Python course, I'll certainly be joining in since I see this as a beneficial future set of skills for our profession, Check it out here: https://www.structuralpython.com/

| 25 Aug 2020 | Episode 48 - Performance Based Structural Fire Design | 00:54:08 | |
We're talking with Kevin Lamalva this week of Warrington Fire all about PBSFD. If you've never heard of this, in short, its using additional strength within the structure and rigorous analysis over a "blind" application of fireproofing material. There are a number of advantages here, from potential cost savings to a more defined level of performance. Traditional fire rating is terribly outdated, and PBSFD is on it's way to becoming a competitive technique. Kevin is the Author of many design guides, references, and white papers on the topic, and is truly one of the experts in the field.

| 12 Jun 2020 | Episode 44 - Skinny Braces | 00:36:14 | |
This week we're talking with Thor Matteson, A structural engineer in California, and the inventor of Skinny Braces. These unique braces attach a ductile fuse to an old fashioned cantilever column system to create a chimera of unmatched R value. Or really, you get to use an R=6.5, just like a wood framed shear wall. This gives you all the benefits of a cantilever column system without the huge footings and low R. The skinny brace is aptly named because it takes up a tiny amount of space compared to the competitors in the soft story retrofit space.

This Episode is unique in its guest but relevant and valuable in content. This week we get the chance to talk with Dan Oblinger, a hostage negotiator, and business coach focusing on the engineering side of things. Zach has had Dan come to his firm and it was a fantastic experience, If you get the chance to have Dan come help your team, make sure to listen to the end of the show for a special deal on the coaching Dan provides for podcast listeners.
