A People Serving Profession

CIVIL ENGINEERING

Civil engineering is a professional engineering discipline that deals with the design, construction and maintenance of the physical and naturally built environment, including works such as:

� Bridges� Bridges� Roads� Canals� Dams and � Buildings

Civil engineering is the oldest engineering discipline after military engineering

CIVIL ENGINEERING

Civil engineering focuses on the infrastructure of the world:

• Water works• Sewers• Dams and Power Plants• Transmission Towers/Lines• Transmission Towers/Lines• Railroads and Highways• Bridges and Tunnels• Irrigation Canals, River Navigation and Shipping Canals• Traffic Control and Mass Transit, • Airport Runways• Terminals• Industrial Plant Buildings• Skyscrapers, etc.

CIVIL ENGINEERING

•The earliest practices of civil engineering may have commenced between 4000 and 2000 BC in Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia when humans started to abandon a nomadicexistence, thus causing a need for the construction of shelter.

•In the 18th century, the term civil engineering was coined to incorporate all things civilian as opposed to from military engineering.

•The first self-proclaimed civil engineer was John Smeaton who constructed the Eddystone Lighthouse in 1771

CIVIL ENGINEERING SUB-DISCIPLINESGeotechnical Engineering

Geotechnical engineering is an area of civil engineering concerned with the rock and soil that civil engineering systems are supported by.

One of the most famous examples of problems related to soil-bearing capacity is the Leaning Tower of Pisa which was built in 18th century.

CIVIL ENGINEERING SUB-DISCIPLINESHydraulic Engineering/Water Resources

Hydraulic engineering is a sub-discipline of civil engineeringconcerned with the flow and conveyance of fluids, principally water. This area of engineering is intimately related to the design of bridges, dams, channels, canals, levees, elevators, and to both sanitary and environmental engineering.Water resources engineering is concerned with the collection and Water resources engineering is concerned with the collection and management of water (as a natural resource).

CIVIL ENGINEERING SUB-DISCIPLINESTransportation Engineering

Transportation engineering is concerned with moving people and goods efficiently, safely, and in a manner conducive to a vibrant community. This involves specifying, designing, constructing, and maintaining transportation infrastructure which includes streets, canals, highways, rail systems, airports, ports, and mass transit.
