2. 61% are clueless
about engineering
Why?
Civil Engineering is a
composite of many
specific disciplines.
◦ Structural
◦ Waste Treatment
◦ Transportation
◦ Geotechnical
◦ Water Management
◦ Construction Management
3. Civil engineering mainly involves
Buildings & Structures: Cities
Infrastructure: Transportation
Culture: Art: Architecture
The Future: Without Limit!
4. Civil engineering is a
composite of many specific
disciplines.
◦ Structural & solid mechanics.
◦ Waste treatment & environmental.
◦ Transportation.
◦ Geotechnical & soil mechanics.
◦ Hydraulics & water management.
◦ Construction management.
6. Wastewater treatment
engineers are civil or
environmental engineers
trained to design or analyze
water treatment plants.
Water treatment plants are
categorized as follows:
◦ Sanitary waste treatment facilities,
◦ Industrial waste treatment facilities,
◦ Potable (drinking) water treatment
facility.
7. Transportation
Engineers design and
analyze
◦ Highways,
◦ Railways,
◦ Airports,
◦ Urban and Suburban
Road Networks,
◦ Parking Lots, and
◦ Traffic Control Signal
Systems.
8. Geotechnical Engineers
analyze the subterranean
rock and soil to determine
its suitability to support
extreme loads.
Proper geotechnical
engineering is essential
for a safe and secure
structure.
9. Water management
involves the use of
hydrologic and hydraulic
principles to design:
◦ Drainage systems,
◦ Detention/retention ponds,
◦ Navigational waterways, and
◦ Flood control levees, dams,
and lakes.
10. Construction managers:
◦ Review contracts,
◦ Order materials,
◦ Hire and schedule sub-contractors.
The job of a construction
manager is to:
◦ Provide quality control and insure
project is completed on time and.
◦ Within budget.
