2. Civil Engineering
Civil engineering focuses on
the infrastructure of the world:
Water works, Sewers, Dams, Power
Plants, Transmission Towers/Lines,
Railroads, Highways, Bridges,
Tunnels, Irrigation Canals, River
Navigation, Shipping Canals, Traffic
Control, Mass Transit, Airport
Runways, Terminals, Industrial Plant
Buildings, Skyscrapers, etc.
3. Civil Engineering
• In the beginning, Civil Engineering
included all engineers that did not
practice military engineering; said
to have begun in 18th century
France
• First “Civil Engineer” was an
Englishman, John Smeaton in 1761
• Civil engineers have saved more
lives than all the doctors in history
--- development of clean water
and sanitation systems
4. Civil Engineering
• Henry H. White, first KY Civil
Engineering Graduate from
Bacon (Georgetown) College in
1840
• Fall of 1886, “State College” (UK)
established civil engineering
degree
• John Wesley Gunn of Lexington
received first Civil Engineering
degree from A & M College (UK)
in 1890

7. Civil Engineering
Specialties
• Construction • Structural
• Environmental/ • Surveying
Water Quality • Transportation
• Geotechnical • Water
• Hydraulics Resources
• Materials
8. Construction Engineers
• Design formwork, scaffolding,
lifting apparatus, etc.
• Management of construction
resources: labor, materials,
equipment, money and time.
9. Environmental
Engineers
• Apply fluid mechanics,
biology and chemistry to the
design and operation of
environmental control
systems, e.g., municipal and
industrial wastewater
systems.
• Model and monitor the
movement and behavior of
water pollutants in natural
waters.
10. Geotechnical Engineers
• Analyze soil and rock that
affect the behavior of struc-
tures, pavements,
underground facilities, and
containment structures for
solid and liquid wastes.
• Design foundations, retaining
walls, roadway cuts, etc.
• Field and laboratory work
along with design.
11. Hydraulic Engineers
• Analyze and design systems
to transport liquids.
• Small and large systems of
pipes as well as engineered
and natural channels.
• Hydraulic machinery such as
pumps and turbines, hydraulic
controls such as valves and
weirs, and hydraulic structures
such as dams and spillways.
13. Structural Engineers
• Design and analyze all man-
made objects whose primary
function is load resistance:
buildings, bridges, aircraft,
transmission towers, radar
domes and antennas, drilling
platforms, etc.
• Must also consider the
economics, esthetics and
social implications of their
creations.
14. Surveyors
• Precisely locate and layout
engineering projects.
• GIS (Geographic Information
Systems), GPS (Global
Positioning Systems), and
lasers distance measurement
devices.
• Maps and aerial photos.
15. Transportation
Engineers
• Analyze movement of persons
and goods.
• Plan, design, construct,
maintain and operate various
transportation modes (e.g.,
highway, railway, air, water,
etc.).
• Design traffic management
systems.
16. Water Resources
Engineers
• Develop, use and manage
world’s water resources.
• Design water distribution
systems, wells, reservoirs,
canals, locks and dams, port
facilities and flood control
systems.
• Analyze the impact of other
engineering projects on the
natural hydrologic system.
