THE CIVIL ENGINEERING PROFESSION
THE CIVIL ENGINEERING PROFESSION You see things; and you say "Why?" But I dream things that never were; and I say "Why not?" George Bernard Shaw What is an engineer? Engineers are problem solvers! ENGINEERING is concerned with the implementation of a solution to a practical problem. A scientist may ask "why?" and proceed to research the answer to the question. By contrast, engineers want to know how to solve a problem and how to implement that solution. In other words, scientists investigate phenomena, whereas engineers create solutions to problems or improve upon existing solutions. A scientist builds in order to learn. An engineer learns in order to build. ( ) One way to define ENGINEERING is: how to do new things in new ways (Win Phillips, 1997) Another definition is: " ENGINEERING is the application of math and science to create something of value from our natural resources.
Civil Engineering is the oldest and quintessential engineering profession. It encompasses a variety of sub-disciplines and jobs. The civil engineering curriculum at the University of Colorado (CU) and most other U.S. universities emphasize the following major sub-disciplines: • structural • environmental • water resources • geotechnical ...
