Civilengineering

Civilengineeringisaprofessionalengineering disciplinethatdealswith thedesign,construction, and maintenance ofthe physicalandnaturallybuiltenvironment, including workslikebridges, roads, canals,dams, andbuildings.[1][2][3]Civilengineeringistheoldest engineeringdisciplineaftermilitaryengineering,[4]anditwasdefinedtodistinguishnon-military engineeringfrommilitary engineering.[5] Itistraditionallybrokenintoseveralsub-disciplinesincludingenvironmental engineering,geotechnicalengineering,structuralengineering, transportationengineering,municipalorurban engineering,waterresourcesengineering,materialsengineering,coastalengineering,[4] surveying, andconstructionengineering.[6]Civilengineeringtakesplaceon all levels:

inthepublic sectorfrommunicipalthroughto nationalgovernments, and in theprivatesectorfrom individual homeowners throughtointernationalcompanies。

 History ofstructuralengineering

Engineeringhasbeen anaspectoflifesincethebeginningsof humanexistence.The earliestpracticesofCivilengineering mayhavecommencedbetween4000and2000BCin Ancient Egypt andMesopotamia(AncientIraq) whenhumansstartedto abandon anomadicexistence,thus causinganeedforthe constructionofshelter. Duringthistime, transportationbecameincreasingly importantleadingtothedevelopment ofthewheelandsailing.

Until moderntimes therewasnocleardistinctionbetweencivilengineeringandarchitecture,andthetermengineerandarchitectwere mainlygeographicalvariationsreferring to the same person, oftenusedinterchangeably.[7]The constructionofPyramidsinEgypt(circa2700-2500BC)mightbeconsideredthefirstinstancesoflargestructureconstructions.Otherancient historic civilengineeringconstructionsincludetheParthenon by Iktinosin Ancient Greece (447-438BC),theAppian Way by Romanengineers(c。

 312BC), theGreatWallofChinaby GeneralMeng T'ienunderordersfromCh'inEmperor Shih HuangTi(c。

220BC)[6]andthestupasconstructedinancientSriLankaliketheJetavanaramayaandtheextensiveirrigationworks in Anuradhapura.TheRomansdevelopedcivilstructures throughouttheirempire,includingespeciallyaqueducts, insulae, harbours,bridges,damsandroads.

Inthe 18th century,the termcivilengineeringwascoinedto incorporate all thingscivilian asopposedtomilitary engineering。

[5]The firstself-proclaimed civil engineerwasJohnSmeaton whoconstructedtheEddystoneLighthouse.[4][6]In1771SmeatonandsomeofhiscolleaguesformedtheSmeatonian Society of CivilEngineers, agroup ofleadersof theprofessionwhometinformallyoverdinner。

Thoughtherewasevidenceofsometechnicalmeetings,itwaslittlemore thanasocial society。

In 1818theInstitutionofCivilEngineerswas foundedin London,andin1820theeminentengineerThomasTelfordbecameitsfirstpresident。

Theinstitution receiveda RoyalCharterin1828,formallyrecognising civilengineeringasaprofession.Itscharterdefinedcivilengineering as:

The firstprivate collegetoteachCivilEngineeringin theUnitedStateswasNorwich University foundedin1819byCaptainAldenPartridge。

[9]ThefirstdegreeinCivil Engineeringinthe UnitedStates wasawarded byRensselaerPolytechnicInstitutein1835。

[10]Thefirstsuchdegreetobeawardedtoa woman wasgranted byCornellUniversityto NoraStanton Blatch in1905.

History ofcivilengineering

Civilengineeringistheapplicationofphysical andscientificprinciples,anditshistoryisintricatelylinkedtoadvancesinunderstandingofphysicsandmathematics throughout history.Becausecivilengineering is awiderangingprofession,includingseveralseparatespecializedsub—disciplines,itshistoryislinkedtoknowledgeof structures,materials science,geography,geology,soils,hydrology,environment,mechanicsandother fields.

Throughoutancientand medievalhistorymostarchitecturaldesignand constructionwascarriedoutbyartisans,suchasstonemasons andcarpenters,risingtotheroleofmaster builder.Knowledgewasretainedin guildsand seldom supplantedbyadvances。

Structures, roadsand infrastructurethatexistedwererepetitive, and increasesinscalewereincremental.[12]

Oneoftheearliestexamplesofascientific approachtophysicalandmathematicalproblemsapplicable to civil engineeringisthe workof Archimedesin the3rdcenturyBC,includingArchimedesPrinciple, whichunderpinsourunderstanding ofbuoyancy,andpracticalsolutions such asArchimedes' screw.Brahmagupta,an Indianmathematician,used arithmeticinthe7thcentury AD,basedonHindu-Arabicnumerals,forexcavation (volume)computations.[13]

Civilengineers typicallypossess anacademicdegreewitha majorincivilengineering。

Thelengthofstudyforsuchadegreeisusuallythree tofiveyearsandthecompleteddegreeisusually designatedasaBachelorofEngineering, thoughsome universitiesdesignatethedegree asaBachelor ofScience.Thedegreegenerallyincludes units coveringphysics,mathematics,projectmanagement, designandspecifictopicsincivilengineering.Initiallysuch topicscover most,ifnotall,ofthesub-disciplinesofcivilengineering。

Studentsthen choose tospecializeinoneor moresub-disciplinestowardstheendofthe degree。

[14]WhileanUndergraduate (BEng/BSc)Degreewill normallyprovidesuccessfulstudentswithindustry accredited qualification,someuniversities offerpostgraduateengineeringawards(MEng/MSc)whichallowstudentstofurtherspecialize intheirparticular areaofinterestwithinengineering.[15]

Inmost countries, aBachelor’sdegreeinengineeringrepresentsthe firststeptowardsprofessionalcertificationandthe degreeprogram itself iscertifiedbyaprofessional body.Aftercompletingacertifieddegreeprogramtheengineermustsatisfyarangeof requirements(including workexperienceand examrequirements)beforebeingcertified。

Once certified,theengineerisdesignatedthetitleofProfessionalEngineer (intheUnited States,CanadaandSouthAfrica),CharteredEngineer(inmost Commonwealthcountries), CharteredProfessional Engineer (inAustraliaandNewZealand),orEuropeanEngineer (inmuch of theEuropeanUnion).Thereareinternationalengineering agreementsbetweenrelevantprofessionalbodieswhicharedesignedtoallowengineerstopracticeacrossinternationalborders.

Theadvantagesofcertificationvary dependinguponlocation.Forexample,intheUnitedStatesand Canada ”onlyalicensedengineer mayprepare,sign and seal,andsubmit engineeringplansanddrawingstoapublicauthority for approval,orseal engineeringworkforpublic andprivate clients.".[16]ThisrequirementisenforcedbystateandprovinciallegislationsuchasQuebec'sEngineersAct.[17]Inothercountries,nosuchlegislationexists.In Australia,statelicensing ofengineersislimitedtothe stateofQueensland.Practicallyallcertifyingbodiesmaintainacodeofethicsthat they expectallmembersto abidebyorriskexpulsion.[18]In thisway,theseorganizations playanimportant roleinmaintainingethicalstandards fortheprofession。

Evenin jurisdictionswherecertificationhaslittle ornolegalbearingon work, engineersaresubject tocontractlaw。

Incaseswhere anengineer'sworkfails heorshemaybe subjectto thetortofnegligence and,in extremecases,thecharge ofcriminal negligence。

[citationneeded] Anengineer’sworkmust alsocomplywithnumerous otherrulesandregulationssuchas buildingcodesandlegislation pertaining toenvironmentallaw.

Careers

Thereisnoonetypical careerpathforcivilengineers.Mostpeoplewhograduatewithcivilengineering degrees start with jobs thatrequire a lowlevelofresponsibility,andas the newengineers provetheircompetence,theyare trusted withtasksthathavelarger consequencesand require a higherlevelofresponsibility.However, withineach branch ofcivilengineeringcareerpathoptionsvary.In somefields andfirms,entry—level engineersare puttowork primarilymonitoringconstructioninthefield, serving asthe"eyes andears”ofseniordesignengineers;whilein otherareas,entry-levelengineersperform themoreroutinetasksof analysisor designandinterpretation.Experiencedengineersgenerallydomore complexanalysisor designwork,ormanagementofmorecomplex designprojects,or managementofotherengineers,or intospecializedconsulting,includingforensicengineering。

Ingeneral,civil engineeringisconcernedwiththeoverall interfaceofhumancreatedfixedprojectswiththegreaterworld。
