What is Civil Engineering?

• Profession of designing and executing structural
  works that serve the general public, including
• Buildings bridges, canals, dams, harbors,
  lighthouses, roads, tunnels, and
• Environmental works (e.g., water supply systems)
• The modern field includes power plants, aircraft
  and airports, chemical-processing and water
  treatment plants, and water-treatment facilities
• Civil engineering today involves
• Site investigations and feasibility studies,
• Structural design and analysis, construction, and
  facilities maintenance.
• The design of engineering works requires the
  application of design theory from many fields
  (e.g., hydraulics, thermodynamics, nuclear
  physics)

What is Civil Engineering?

• A branch of engineering that encompasses the
  conception, design, construction, and management
  of residential and commercial buildings and
  structures, water supply facilities, and
  transportation systems for goods and people, as
  well as control of the environment for the
  maintenance and improvement of the quality of
  life.
• Civil engineering includes planning and design
  professionals in both the public design
  professionals in both the public and private
  sectors, contractors, builders, educators, and
  researchers. Civil engineering is a professional

What is Civil Engineering?

• Engineering discipline that deals with the
  engineering discipline that deals with the design
  and construction of the physical and natural
  built environment, including works such as
  bridges, roads, canals, dams and buildings.
• Civil engineering is the oldest engineering
  discipline after military engineering, and it
  was defined to distinguish it from military
  engineering
• Engineering is the application of objective
  knowledge to creation of plans, designs and
  means for achieving desired objectives.
• Technology deals with tools and techniques for
  carrying out plans.
