- Is the mother of all Engineering Courses
- Civil engineering is the application of physical and scientific principles for solving the problems of society
- Igenious means Clever person in latin
- Engineer cleverly uses the available natural resources for the benefit
- is a professional engineering career that deals with the design, construction, and maintenance of the physical and naturally built environment, including public works such as roads, bridges, canals, dams, airports, sewage systems, pipelines, structural components of buildings, and railways.
- Civil engineering is traditionally broken into a number of sub-disciplines. It is considered the second-oldest engineering discipline after military engineering, and it is defined to distinguish non-military engineering from military engineering. Civil engineering can take place in the public sector from municipal public works departments through to federal government agencies, and in the private sector from locally based firms to Fortune Global 500 companies.
- the art of directing the great sources of power in nature for the use and convenience of man, as the means of production and of traffic in states, both for external and internal trade, as applied in the construction of roads, bridges, aqueducts, canals, river navigation and docks for internal intercourse and exchange, and in the construction of ports, harbor’s, moles, breakwaters and lighthouses, and in the art of navigation by artificial power for the purposes of commerce, and in the construction and application of machinery, and in the drainage of cities and towns.
- Ingenious means ‘Clever person’ in Latin
- Engineer cleverly uses the available natural resources for the benefit of mankind
- Provides comfort to mankind and makes life comfortable.
- Application of scientific and mathematical knowledge and rational thinking to improve living standards
- Constructions are against nature.
- A professional engineering discipline that deals with the application of physical, mathematical and scientific principles
- John Smeaton was the first self proclaimed Civil Engineer
- Oldest branch of engineering, next to Military engineering.
Oldest branch of engineering, next to Military engineering. All engineering works other than for military purposes were grouped in to Civil Engineering. Mechanical, Electrical, Electronics & present day Information technology followed it.
A professional engineering discipline that deals with the analysis, design, construction and maintenance of infrastructural facilities such as buildings, bridges, dams, roads etc.
Constructions are against nature.
Application of physical, mathematical and scientific principles for the convenience of civilization.
Began b/w 4000 BC and 2000 BC (during Ancient Egypt,
Mesapotamia, Indus Valley Civilisations).
John Smeaton was the first self proclaimed Civil Engineer
who built Eddystone Light House in 1771.
There are a number of sub-disciplines within the broad field of civil engineering. General civil engineers work closely with surveyors and specialized civil engineers to design grading, drainage, pavement, water supply, sewer service, dams, electric and communications supply. General civil engineering is also referred to as site engineering, a branch of civil engineering that primarily focuses on converting a tract of land from one usage to another. Site engineers spend time visiting project sites, meeting with stakeholders, and preparing construction plans. Civil engineers apply the principles of geotechnical engineering, structural engineering, environmental engineering, transportation engineering and construction engineering to residential, commercial, industrial and public works projects of all sizes and levels of construction.
