Civil engineers touch on everything everybody uses every day…literally. But even then, the profession isn’t as famous as others. That’s what Michael Bempah set out to change!
After graduating in Chicago, Illinois, he noticed pretty soon that nobody knew what civil engineers do. Especially members of minority groups, who didn’t even see it as a possible career for them.
As an African-American himself who had a good job at the Illinois Department of Transportation and then even started his own firm, Pinpoint Precision Engineering, he knew the field doesn’t get as much good rep as it should.
In this episode, we dive into the lessons from his book, How to Become a Civil Engineer, on how to spread the word about the profession…
…and how practicing civil engineers like you can (and should) help!
Check it out! 🎧

Passing the Civil PE Exam after 20+ years? 😲 That’s a huge feat already. But doing this as a Mechanical Engineer with no civil engineering background whatsoever…that’s a whole nother level! 🤯
In this episode, we interview Joe Ebinger, a mechanical engineer by education who’s been working in the civil engineering industry for 21 years. Because of his job, he decided to go for the Civil PE Exam, which came with one (big) problem: he knew very little about the heavy civil topics we learn in school, like concrete and transportation. 😨
“I never studied to pass the exam. I studied to become a Professional Engineer.” With this mindset, he decided to teach himself the topics in which he lacked. Even though it might’ve taken him a bit longer to study and fully prepare…he made it!
His journey is an inspirational story to every PE test-taker. If you’re well into your career, he did it in his late 40s. If you’re a mechanical engineer, he’s living proof you can pivot. Check out our interview with Joe. It’s awesome!
TUNE IN TO LEARN:
From Mechanical to Truss Engineer in the civil world (Painful) Lessons learned delaying the FE and PE exams What studying for the PE Exam really means and entails from you The most important thing when managing your study time One thing you need to build during your prep so the knowledge comes The test-taking strategy you need to use on exam day Why 70% on the PE Exam is not enough for an Engineer How he found Civil Engineering Academy and why he went with it His approach to studying civil topics he didn’t know a thing about What you should do before taking practice exams The right way to take practice exams Why it’s important to have people on your corner Does he recommend the Civil Engineering Academy?✅ RESOURCES MENTIONED:

Picture this: You have a good engineering job. You make decent money. Your family is fine. So, why do you feel unsatisfied with your life and career? 🤔 The answer…you’re not being intentional with either of them.
In this episode, we interview Jeff Perry, a career coach and the author of The Intentional Engineer book. Based on his own life experiences, he’s been working one-on-one with engineers and tech professionals to help them find and build a career that aligns (keyword there!) with their life visions.
Now, he’s put all his frameworks and step-by-step processes to do this into a book. With actionable exercises, the book helps you take a hard look at your life and finally find “career-life fit,” no matter what that looks like to you. 👷
