Civil Engineering Throughout my lifetime, I have never had to think very much about the working world and everything that went with it. All through high school I took classes I liked or thought would be interesting to me, but never thought that all of those classes were preparing me for what was to come. Before I knew it, it was time to go to college. The four years of high school had flown by and now it was time to choose a major for college. I had never given much thought as to what I wanted

from a team effort of several disciplines of science. From mechanical engineering (in building more efficient motors or cars), passing through civil engineering (by planning the roads or finding solutions for a sustainable urbanism) to social sciences (because it is important to understand the human behaviour in order the find the optimum solution). In this paper we will focus on the solutions and proposals from a civil engineering point of view. It will start by attempting to bring a definition to
CIVIL ENGINEERING Civil engineering is the oldest of the main branches of engineering. Civil engineers use their knowledge to supervise and plan construction projects such as roads, airports, bridges, canals, tunnels, and wastewater systems. They also collaborate with architects to design and construct various types of buildings. Some other civil engineering endeavors include highways, airports, pipelines, railroads, levees, and irrigation and sewage systems. Civil engineers try to design their
Historically, Civil Engineering is the oldest branch of engineering and dates back at least 5,000 years to the profession of "master builder" involving pyramids, temples and irrigation projects. Engineering has changed greatly since those days but the fundamental principles have stayed the same. Engineers solve peoples problems with applied science and innovation. Today's problems are more complex and the needs of current and future societies have created challenges for engineering unparalleled in
The career the I'm interest me the most is Civil Engineering. Civil engineering is designing and overseeing construction and maintenance of building structures and facilities. May work on roads, railroads, airports, bridges, harbors, channels, dams, irrigation projects, pipelines, power plants, water and sewage systems, or waste disposal units. May be architectural, structural, traffic, ocean, geo-technical or other kind of engineer. I chose this career because I would see my mom's side of the family
Einstein). Civil engineering is the professional engineering discipline that deals with the design, and construction, and built something like rods, bridge, dam and building. It’s also called one of the oldest engineering disciplines. This discipline also gives an opportunity to educator to use knowledge of
The civil engineering field is about gathering and interpreting data, being able to give technical presentations to colleagues, team work to design and build a project, projects range from the design and construction of dams, bridges, buildings, roads, and water supply systems. In most cases the works of engineers are admired and sought after. Engineers play an important role in the development and improvement of a society. Yet, like other technical and non-engineering careers the civil engineers
Civil Engineering The need for Civil Engineers is rapidly growing from day to day. Civil Engineers are vital to the advancement of society. Civil Engineering is the combination of common knowledge and practical planning to the layout of the cities, towns, and communities being developed today. Civil Engineers are involved in the designing and building of the new structures surrounding us, as well as keeping them maintained. Also, Civil Engineers are responsible for finding efficient methods for
INTRODUCTION: Civil Engineering is evolving and its evolution needs to increase. This report endeavours to place the progression of technology and the addition of engineering into its archival background. With the increasing problems that tackle the world of civil Engineering and Structural designs, solutions need to be yielded to protect and maintain structural forms not just in our present age but in the future to come. The major setback is that our present approach to advancement is unsustainable
1. Introduction: Value engineering (VE) has been defined by various researchers, for example Connaughton and Green (1996) defined it as “a systematic approach to delivering the required functions at lowest cost without detriment to quality, performance and reliability” and Kelly and Male (1993) defined VE as ''The process of identifying and eliminating unnecessary cost during design and construction stages'' Going back to the history of VE, In1947 VE methodology was initially implemented as “value

Civil engineering keeps our surroundings safe, modern, and efficient. Unexpectedly, civil engineering is the oldest of the foremost disciplines of engineering. Engineering was a significant element of civilizations, leading to the development of the first engineering school. In 1747, the National School of Bridges and Highways in France launched and allowed expansion of engineering to occur. John Smeaton was the first person to actually call himself a "Civil Engineer". In the 21st century, civil
A scientist dreams of doing great things, but an engineer do them. Civil Engineering is a professional engineering discipline that deals with the design, construction, and maintenance. Since childhood my dream is to become a civil engineer whom my father would be proud of, he is a well experienced civil engineer and a good role model. He inspired me to do civil engineering with specialisation in structural engineering. He used to take me to his work site where they were building huge structures,
Civil Engineering. In today's society we can't imagine our infrastructures without the help of civil engineers. It all started with the ancient civilizations. It started off with the Egyptians and the Mayans. In this essay I will discuss the history of civil engineering ,famous engineers and the prospects of engineering in the future years. Engineering is one of the oldest professions. About 4400 years ago Imhotep, the first documented engineer , built a famous stepped pyramid of King Zoser located

The perception of engineering has existed since ancient times when humans devised fundamental and useful inventions such as the pulley, wheel and lever. These simple devices are all categorized under “inventions exploiting basic mathematical principles that are useful” which is the modern definition of engineering. The word engineering, is derived from the word engineer which dates back to 1325 when an engineer was defined as “a constructor of military engines”. Later, as the construction of civilian
Civil Engineering has been a part of mankind since the beginning of time. The structures of the ancient Greeks, Egyptians, and Babylonians still amaze people today. Wonders like the Lighthouse of Alexandria and the Pantheon are proof that humans have the ability to construct great things. Civil Engineers design bridges to help cars get across large bodies of water and tall buildings to house hundreds of workers for a company. Most people would be surprised to learn that many of the simple things
