is a mirror of the history of human beings on this earth
the history of civil engineering
The earliest practices of Civil eng’g may have commenced between
4000 and 2000 BC inAncient Egypt and Mesopotamia (Ancient Iraq)
considered the first instances of large structure constructions
Pyramids in Egypt (circa 2700-2500 BC)
Around 2550 BC
the first documented engineer
Imhotep greatest contribution to engineering was his
discovery of the art of building with shaped stones.
The first self-proclaimed civil engineer was
John Smeaton
who constructed the Eddystone Lighthouse. In 1771
John Smeaton
When was the world’s first engineering society
the Institution of Civil Engineers was founded inLondon In 1818
1820 the eminent engineer became the Institution of Civil Engineers first president
Thomas Teiford
When was the institution received a Royal Charter in and formally recognizing civil engineering as a profession
1828
In 1905 graduated from Cornell as the very first woman to ever receive a degree in civil engineering
Nora Stanton Blatch
The term “civil engineer” was made to contrast engineers working was established by
John Smeaton in 1750
Named as it is because it is a part of Science which deals with the comfort accessories required by the civilians
Civil Engineering
is a five-year degree program in the Philippines that is concerned with the use of scientific and mathematical principles in the construction of buildings and infrastruetures
The Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering (BSCE)
The first civil engineering school in the Philippines is the School of Engineering of
the University of Santo Tomas (UST)
UST BSCE was established on
May 18 1907
He was the first registered civil engineer of the Philippines and the father of National Artist forMusic Lucrecia Kasilag
Marcial Kasilag
was the first Civil Engineering organization in the country formed by a group of Civil Engineers mostly from the govemment sector and was
Philippine Society of Civil Engineers (PSCE)
Man used the old shelter caves to protect themselves from weather and harsh environments and used a tree trunk to cross the river, which being the demonstration of
ancient age civil engineering.
The Philippine Association of Civil Engineers(PACE) was formed in
1937
was the culmination and fulfillment of a visionto merge two separate organizations of civil enginecrs in the country: (PSCE) and the (PACE)
Philippine Institute of Civil Engineers (PICE)
Enhance and improve civil engineering standardscurricula and facilities in schoolsprovide encouragement
Philippine Institute ofCivil Engineers
The main role of is to guarantee that the buildingand construction process is safe and conformsto the Philippine code and regulations
the civil engineer
are allowed to practice in the Philippines under international conventions or agreements
Foreign civil engineers
a professional engineering discipline that deals with the design construction and maintenance of the physical and naturally built environment
Civil engineering
is the branch of science and technology that deals with the application of science and math tosolve problems
Engineering (Eng’g)
The creativity and innovative spirit of civil engineers are showcased in the projects they have created throughout the world
ASCE’s Historic Civil Engineering Landmarks program honors
Their identified set of challenges include
Estimating sea levels Enhancing disaster management through infrastructure resiliene Reducing soil erosion Improving building energy efficiency Managing groundwater Monitoring the health of infrastructure Reducing traffic congestion lmproving construction productivityEnhancing construction site safety
