replyCivil Engineering is hard, and concrete is a perfect example of how something as "simple" as concrete in reality requires significant interdisciplinary collaboration with domain experts in ChemE, MatSE, Physics, Applied Math, and CS.
Some of the most robust HPC applications I saw back when I was an undergrad were done by Civil and Structural Engineers in the ONG space.

replyThat’s funny because I don’t see civil engineers being “glazed” much online. Usually they’re the butt of jokes and ridicule from other engineering majors who perceive civil engineering as less ‘rigorous’ than other disciplines. I’m curious where you see this civil engineering “glazing”?
replyThey're usually held up to as the pinnacle of "real engineers" in discussions where software people are trying to portray software as insufficiently rigorous.
replyYeah the other varieties of "real engineer" think of them about the same way that NPs think of MDs.
Come fight me, Java nerd.
