Foundation design
involves analyzing soil and rocks to assess stability and design foundations for construction projects
Geotechnical engineering
involves analyzing designing and ensuring the stability of various structures including buildings bridges and dams
Structural engineering
also involves inspecting existing structures for safety and recommending repairs or upgrades
Structural engineering
focuses on the design and management of water systems to ensure efficient and sustainable use of water resources
Water resource engineering
involves designing and manufacturing materials composed of two or more components with distinct properties
Composite engineering
involves designing structures to withstand seismic activity by incorporating engineering principles and materials to minimize damage
Earthquake engineering
Incorporates knowledge of geology seismology and structural engineering
Earthquake engineering
involve moving large quantities of soil or rock to shape the land for construction or landscaping purposes
Earthworks
play a crucial role in preparing a site for building structures or creating effective drainage systems
Earthworks
are synthetic materials used in civil engineering projects for applications like soil reinforcement erosion control and drainage systems
Geosynthetics
is the process of evaluating soil and rock to determine their properties for construction projects
Geotechnical investigation
involves enhancing soil properties to support construction projects such as compacting soil adding stabilizers or treating contaminated land
Ground improvement
refers to the process of determining the amount of work or resources needed to complete a task or project efficiently
Load calculation
involves studying the behavior of soil and rocks in the marine environment to support safe and effective offshore construction projects
Offshore geotechnical engineering
involves planning organizing and overseeing tasks to achieve specific goals involves techniques to prevent land erosion and sloping surfaces from collapsing ensuring safety and sustainability
Slope Stabilization
involves examining the organizational framework to identify strengths weaknesses opportunities and threats
Structural analysis
involves removing contaminants from water before releasing it back into the environment to prevent pollution and protect public health
Wastewater treatment
The structural design process of building can be divided into three stages
load calculation
structural analysis and
design
Structural engineering specialties for buildings include
Earthquake engineering
Façade engineering
Fire engineering
Roof engineering
Tower engineering
Wind engineering
involves the application of technical and scientific knowledge to infrastructure construction projects
Construction engineering management (CEM)
blends engineering (which focuses on design) with construction management which is concerned with overseeing the actual construction
Construction engineering management
Some common areas of focus for CEM include
Commercial business or housing construction
Electrical system design
HVAC/mechanical
Highway /heavy construction
responsibility to plan design build operate and maintain these systems of transport in such a way as to provide for the safe efficient and convenient movement of people and goods
transportation engineer
Engineers are able to treat wastewater so that it can be used for irrigation potable water or even as cooling water for industrial plants
Updating Wastewater Treatment Facilities
To provide clean drinking water water resource engineers are integrating ultraviolet disinfection technology into water treatment plants
UV Disinfection Technology
Water resource engineers are helping confront global warming through the process of cooling waterways and oceans
Cooling Waterways and Oceans
refers to the group of materials that are used in the construction of manmade structures and components
Engineering materials
The major classification of engineering materials include
Metals Polymers Ceramics and Composites
are the most commonly used class of engineering material
Metals
are the most common metal alloys the most common metal alloys in use due to abundance of iron ease of production and high versatility of the material
