CEO Flashcards
involves planning, coordinating, and overseeing construction projects to ensure they are completed on time with budget meet and quality standard
Construction Engineering Management
involves creating a strong base for a business idea through market research identification of target audience and crafting a value proposition
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
