and Society and Other Professions Civil Engineering
• Function • Work Environment • Qualifications Functions
• Civil Engineers conceive, design, build,
supervise, operate, construct, and maintain infrastructure projects and systems in the public and private sector. Work Environment • Civil Engineers generally work in a variety of locations and conditions. It is common for them to split their time between working in an office and working outdoors at construction sites so that they can monitor operations or solve problems onsite. Most work is full time. Qualifications Education • Civil Engineering need a bachelor’s degree in CE, in one of its specialties. They typically need a graduate degree and licensure for promotion to senior positions. Qualities • Decision making skills • Leadership skills • Math skills • Organizational skills • Problem solving skills • Speaking skills • Writing skills Civil Engineering and Society What do we mean by Society? • Defined as a group of people, who share a common economic, social and industrial infrastructure. Society is an organization of people who share a common cultural and social background. What is the practice of Civil Engineering to the Society? Role • Maintaining the overall safety of the society in a number of ways Rural Engineering. • Planning and overseeing different construction efforts and apply civil engineering principles. • Analyzing different factors regarding a construction project Construction Area Surroundings Area Work that needs to be completed Steps or the process of work for the construction
Process of analyzing different factors
Investigation Verifying whether that location is feasible for the construction or not Role • After Analyzing different factors Preparing Reports - detailed description of the various factors present and also the factor that need to be changed before commencing the construction. Ensuring Rules, Regulations and Guidelines are been properly followed Contributions
• Giving shape to the history of a nation.
• Increasing Health and Quality of life.
Common Issue • Corruption on Public/Private Infrastructure - Solution • As a Civil Engineer/ a future CE we must perform our duties according to what was the ethics that we’ve learned especially in the field of engineering. Civil Engineering and Other Professions Professions/Professionals How to be professional? • You should have vocational qualifications, often involving an element of practical training. Usually they are linked with a specific industry and are designed to help you improve and develop relevant skill for a particular career path. Civil Engineering and other Professions Role • A Co-worker Architects Architects plan and design houses, factories, office buildings, and other structures. Civil Engineering Technician Civil engineering technicians help civil engineers to plan, design, and build highways, bridges, utilities, and other infrastructure projects. They also help to plan, design, and build commercial, industrial, residential, and land development projects. Construction Managers Construction managers plan, coordinate, budget, and supervise construction projects from start to finish. Environmental Engineers Environmental engineers use the principles of engineering, soil science, biology, and chemistry to develop solutions to environmental problems. Landscape Architects Landscape architects design parks and the outdoor spaces of campuses, recreational facilities, businesses, private homes, and other open areas. Mechanical Engineers Mechanical engineers design, develop, build, and test mechanical and thermal sensors and devices, including tools, engines, and machines. Surveyors Surveyors make precise measurements to determine property boundaries. Urban and Regional Planners Urban and regional planners develop land use plans and programs that help create communities, accommodate population growth, and revitalize physical facilities in towns, cities, counties, and metropolitan areas. Contribution • Providing presentable infrastructure to the other professions Ex: Clinics for registered Doctors
• Extra income for other professions from
private transactions (legal) Ex: Business Contracts Common Issue with other professions • There are some instances that Civil Engineers might have a sabotage with other professionals. • Example: contractors of a certain structure and the CE Solution • Together with other profession CE’s must be a good role model in a way of performing their job with a guidance of moral principle. Conclusion • Civil Engineering and society and other professions should work together for a purpose especially for the common good and they should instill in their minds the code of professional ethics.
