Hello everybody, I hope you’re all thriving out there!
I’m back with another podcast episode, speaking to Dr. Seán Carroll.
Dr. Carroll is a chartered engineer and founder of engineeringskills.com, where he teaches a broad range of structural engineering courses, many of which include Python and other open-source tools.
With a Ph.D. in Civil Engineering Dynamics from the University of Nottingham, he has extensive experience in higher education, including:
Senior Lecturer in Structural Engineering at the University of Exeter
Assistant Professor in Structural Engineering at the University of Warwick
Dr. Carroll has helped over 20,000 online learners enhance their skills. His courses are designed for both students and professionals, offering practical applications of structural dynamics, finite element analysis, concrete/steel design and much more.
There is a wealth of information from basic to advanced topics and many of the courses employ Python to demonstrate practical examples or key concepts.
This is an excellent resource for anybody who feels the need to brush up on or expand their technical understanding of core engineering concepts. Often, we are buried in code requirements and project specifications, and get lost in the minutiae. A solid grasp of the fundamentals is the cornerstone of effective engineering.
Join Dr. Carroll on engineeringskills.com and take a look at the course library.
Seán has provided a 30% off link for the Flocode Community, valid until the end of August 2024. Please use:

I’m a member of EngineeringSkills and have taken a number of Seán’s courses. His material is thorough, clear and excellently presented. He got me started on Blender, a fantastic 3D modelling tool that has become a great addition to my toolbox, particularly for building complex FE and CFD models with irregular geometry.
I’ve also leaned on his ‘Multi-Degree of Freedom Dynamics, Modal Analysis and Seismic Response Simulation in Python’ course as well as a few others.
You can connect with Seán on LinkedIn and Youtube.
Check out his fantastic introduction to OpenSeesPy.
We had a great chat and I look forward to doing it again.
See you in the next one.
