Here's how you can enhance your skills and competencies as a structural engineer based on feedback.

Enhancing your skills and competencies as a structural or geotechnical engineer involves actively seeking and analyzing feedback, setting clear goals, and pursuing ongoing education. Embrace critiques to identify areas for improvement, and set actionable objectives to guide your professional development. Invest in advanced courses, certifications, and hands-on workshops to stay updated with industry trends. Practice diligently by applying new knowledge in your projects, and reflect regularly on your progress to refine your skills. Additionally, leverage innovative technologies and methodologies, such as BIM and sustainable design practices, to remain competitive and enhance your expertise in the ever-evolving field of engineering.

Asking feedback is essential to calibrate your works and to grow further. 1. Ask feedback once you completed with the project/task (if you involved a small part of project and you done with that particular project) 2. Receive feedbacks constructively to enhance and step towards flawless. Use it as an opportunity to learn and improve. 3. If something been wrong, work on that. Take ownership.

The most essential skill in the workplace is communication, which is essential for performance, teamwork, efficiency, and adding value. It took me a long time to understand that I need to learn communication in addition to all the technical skills. All projects need a team to get things done. Without proper communication, the given resources will not be efficiently utilized. I'm just asking for feedback, which is part of communication. However, it takes courage to be open-minded and receive effective feedback.

Its is crucial element to grow in any carrier, more so in engineering. Seeking sincere feedback can help you improve & develop your carrier skills. In my opinion one should seek 2 distinct kinds of feedback 1) technical skill and 2) soft skills. important aspect in any conversation is to listen , it’s important to listen, than taking this as a discussion opportunity. Don’t argue and you will get honest opinion. Another trick is to assume that received feed back is 100% accurate and then analyse with critical thinking. Your approach should not be proving one’s opinion on point wrong, it should be to learn and chart your path for future. Please bear in mind that you can only change someone’s perspective by your work and not by your word.

feedback is the best way to test your work and get the opportunity to correct errors and wrong assumptions. especially in construction sector due to many uncertainties, it is a must to actively seek for a feedback from different stakeholders and update the plans accordingly.

Analyzing feedback critically is crucial for growth. Identify patterns or recurring themes to pinpoint areas of weakness. Remember, feedback is about improvement, not personal attacks. Develop a targeted plan to address identified issues, which may involve training, mentorship, or practical experience. This proactive approach fosters continuous improvement and enhances professional development.

Critiques should be welcomed with a lot of positivity as when they are critically looked into, growth and advancement are inevitably registered. Anything contrary to this is often linked to a lack of objectivity which might lead to stunted growth

Second step as mentioned, is to analyze the resulted critiques. Thoroughly evaluation of feedback helps effectively to identify the weaknesses. Based on that identification, it will be simple to develop a targeted plan to eliminate such weaknesses through joining suitable training or arranged practical experience.

Criticism analysis There are some important points to be taken care of. First, make sure you receive the feedback about what you are looking to reshape it. Secondly, Once you are certain that the suggestion which is given is matching with the current scenario, look deeply into it if you could be the person who gave suggestion, what alternatives should have been adopted. Go and ask about it from more people nearby. Last but not least, once you done something which is different some how, leave it for the consumer or customer to check it and then again receive their feedback. Make sure you are receiving feedback from the different kind of people. Analysis of criticism is not an easy but a thrilling one.

Analyzing Critique gives opportunity to excel in your weak area while taking it positively.You can address your weak area and take it into consideration later while training others and mentoring.

Setting SMART goals is essential for skill improvement. Aim to master new design software, understand advanced materials, or enhance communication with stakeholders. These goals should be specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound, ensuring focused and trackable progress for effective skill enhancement.

Based on the done analysis, a SMART goals can be reached. These goals should cover needed improvement areas like searching new software, study of advanced technologies and materials, or negotiation skills. Doing this strategy, it will be proved that the exerted efforts expected to improve weaknesses and in turn enhance skills and qualifications.

Structural engineering as a career requires continuous growth and effective collaboration which comes with feedback. This feedback could be positive or negative. Therefore, one should critically analyse and seek feedback from different stakeholders involved in the design of the project. This will help the person to strengthen and sharpen one's skills as a Structural Engineer because the feedback will be able to clarify where necessary improvement should be done and sometimes how to do it.

Each day, we have more equipment, materials, software, and more cheaper and accessibility, All of them are one face of the best possibility solution.We have to analyze their best combination to obtain the most competitive alternative.

Since skillset can be varying due to saturation in subjects and updating technology and due to advancement in different softwares and Computer-Aided Structural Design and Technology,one need to work smartly with efforts by setting goal to achieve the enhancement.As the technology is advancing,one can get disturbed or confused,but to avoid the distractions set goals as per your areas of interests.

Continuing education is vital in structural engineering. Consider advanced courses or certifications related to feedback received, such as earthquake-resistant design or sustainable materials. Enhancing project management capabilities can also be beneficial. Formal education offers both knowledge and credentials to advance your career effectively.

For excelling in career and sustainable future in long run,following the guidelines as per the codal provisions is must.Learning the new design especially seismic resistant techniques ,seismic base isolation techniques can help.

Así es el conocimiento es el mejor regalo para uno mismo como profesional, se tiene mucho conocimiento por adquirir y mientras más preparados más oportunidades y retos más desafiantes como profesionales podemos tomar, sigamos aprendiendo para mejorar cada día.

Practice is crucial for skill mastery. Apply feedback and education to real-world projects, seeking diverse opportunities to apply skills in various contexts. Consistent practice fosters proficiency and confidence in enhanced capabilities over time.

Practising a skill is very important for development.Apply the gained knowledge to get the desired results.Consistency is the key.

Someone said *Practice makes a man perfect* It is indeed true. But there are multiple fields to do practices. Practice can be challenging and exciting simultaneously. One thing which is most important is that your practice should be in the circle of people who are better than you. Practice with having some goal in mind is awesome to go on with. Last but not least, along the practice do take some naps of natural beauty around you which gives some enrichment, so that you come back to practice with some cool thinking and jaw dropping ideas to shape your practice in enhance able ways. It's a great feeling when you contribute. It doesn't matter about the size,size and shape of it. Some one said that *A single drop of water makes an ocean*

De acuerdo la experiencia nos brinda la oportunidad de seguir mejorando, aprendiendo pero también nos permite visualizar de manera diferente cada tema y reto en Ingeniería a desarrollar.

Reflection is integral to professional growth. Regularly assess progress towards goals and the incorporation of feedback into your work. Reflecting on achievements and challenges fosters motivation and awareness, ensuring continuous development as a structural engineer.

Enhancing skills and competencies can be done on two broad fronts: 1) Self introspection: Knowing your strengths and weakness, where you stand in terms of technical knowledge and applicability. This is the most important part which is overlooked many times. The best person to know where you lack and where you are good is YOU. 2) Asking for feedbacks and incorporating them into your professional practice: Having constant discussions with colleagues and peers serves as a foundation for asking feedback. Don't feel shy to ask to your boss or colleges on areas where you can improve. Also during the process it is very important to keep in mind your goals and visions you set yourself. Constantly evaluate your progress towards those goals.

Much can be learned from outside peer reviews. This was common for commercial and educational projects. You can both learn and teach until both parties come to an agreement. This process leads to better Engineering over time.
