What is Civil Engineering? Profession of designing and executing structural works thatProfession 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 incl des po er plants aircraft and airports 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 ofThe design of engineering works requires the application of

design theory from many fields (e.g., hydraulics,thermodynamics, nuclear physics) 2

What is Civil Engineering? Engineering discipline that deals with the engineering

discipline that deals with the design and construction of theh i l d t l b ilt i t i l di kphysical and natural built environment, including works

such as bridges, roads, canals, dams and buildings. Civil engineering is the oldest engineering discipline after Civil engineering is the oldest engineering discipline after

military engineering, and it was defined to distinguish itfrom military engineering

Engineering is the application of objective knowledge tocreation of plans, designs and means for achieving desired

bj tiobjectives. Technology deals with tools and techniques for carrying out
