3. WHAT I HAVE DONE?
3
I have started with zero knowledge about engineering disciplines. All
that I know was the names of engineering.
With this amazing opportunity I have found a chance to speak
different types of engineering disciplines. Before starting to this work
experience I was planning to be an electrical engineer or computer
engineer but after seeing them in real world I have changed my mind
with civil engineering.
4. 4
• Civil engineers have the most varied career options
out of all the major engineering disciplines.
• Civil engineers understand the environment and how
they can use it safely and smartly to improve our
quality of life.
• Compared with the other disciplines, it is technically
less challenging.
WHY CIVIL ENGINEERING?
5. ENGINEERING DISCIPLINES
5
Engineering is a broad field that is divided into various disciplines
and sub-disciplines. The disciplines of engineering can be divided into
four main categories;
Chemical
Civil
Electrical
Mechanical
Each main discipline will provide with a “taste” of the various skills
and knowledge required to work in any field related to the discipline.
6. HOW DO THESE DISCIPLINES INTERACT?
6
In a project, engineers creates puzzle pieces all they need to do is
put everything together but without having any idea about the other
disciplines they’ll make a mess. Nevertheless all the engineers have
an idea about the middle part of the puzzle.
8. WHAT WE NEED BEFORE STARTING THE DESIGN?
8
Typical deliverables:
Report
Schedules, equipment and cables
Drawings [plans, elevations,
schematics]
Hand S- RAMS HAZID
Datasheets
