CIVIL ENGINEERING COURSE
CIVIL ENGINEERING COURSE
Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering is a five-year course designed for students to help them acquire the basic concept of Civil Engineering. The course is tailored to equip the students the proper skills and trainings in preparation to actual practice in the field of construction management, planning the design, aside from the theoretical aspect of the Civil Engineering field of specialization, the program integrated the actual exposure of these students to the actual engineering environment to develop expertise and gain experience.
The BSCE program provides technical skills and knowledge in planning, design, construction, supervision, and maintenance of civil engineering works. Examples of civil engineering works include infrastructures for transportation (roads, railroads, bridges, ports, airports), commerce (shopping malls), education (schools, universities), human settlements (large scale housing projects, water supply, sewage disposal), energy development (power stations, power lines) and agriculture (irrigation, farm drainage).
Civil engineers collaborate with architects with regards to the design of infrastructures; they also coordinate and supervise construction, working with other engineers and contractors. They make decisions on the best materials and methods, review and approve project drawings, manage budgets, schedule equipment and materials purchases and delivery, and make necessary changes when the situation warrants or when clients change their minds about something.
Civil Engineering is one of those branches of knowledge which properly take their places both amongst the sciences and the arts; for a science consists of a collection of general principles or truths relating to any particular subject, while an art are the application of those principles to practice, for the purpose of affecting some particular object. The Science of Civil Engineering, then, informs us of the general principles of mechanics and

    On October 7th, the lecture was on Civil Engineering. The Presentation lecture was by Ned J. Araujo. Mr. Araujo introduced himself as a ‘Civilized Engineer’ with a PE titled. The PE title is known as a Professional Engineer as a requirement to receive the title of PE, one has to complete a four year degree at an accredited university and also work under a PE for two years; with also taking the FE (fundamentals of Engineering) exam and the PE after thereafter. Mr. Araujo started off the lecture by giving us, his educational background, originally from Brazil. Mr. Araujo began like most of us at Community College, he attended Cerritos College. Soon after he mentioned he struggled to come up with a way to pay for university, so he joined the US Navy Construction Battalion as a reservist.…

    Civil Engineers have to know how to design and assemble shapes to construct buildings, dams, bridges, tunnels, highway systems. Civil Engineer must understand and know how to compute such quantities as lengths, areas, volumes, centroids, moments of inertia, and curvatures of a building. Civil Engineers also help build my most favorite place in the world, they help with the designing of soccer fields. The whole field is 120 by 75 yards, the midfield has to be right in the middle of the field, they also have to measure the size of the keeper box which is 6 yards by 20 yards and the penalty box is 18 yards by 40 yards,they also have to help construct the goals that is the length of 8 yards, and last the corners of the field have to be exactly 90 degrees with a quarter circle on the inside of the field so we know where to take the corner kick…

    I had the pleasure of interviewing Bob Appleton, a civil engineer at Texas A&M. The questions I asked him that taught me the most about civil engineering were “What is your daily job as a civil engineer?” and “What are the personal qualities you need to be a civil engineer? For example, motivation, etc.” Mr. Appleton said as a civil engineer, your daily job is to take data that surveyors collected in the field, either on the the ground or by aerial photographs (which he explained as being similar to images seen on Google Earth). Then you use the data to create drawings and designs for many different structures such as buildings, roads, bridges, ports, etc. Mr. Appleton said that to be a civil engineer you need to possess the qualities of integrity…

    Since I am interested in civil engineering, I paid a lot of attention to learning the different branches in the work field. In the second meeting of this year, a geothermal engineer gave us a presentation on his daily job. I found it very intriguing for being able to travel sites in different kinds of geographical area while collecting data to research on the building types that can be built on that place. Knowing this definitely helped to understand the perception of the job about the challenges and the exciting part of it. I would love to take courses in geotechnical and I am also interested in having areas of focus in hydraulic and structural.…

    In my quest for deciding what course to pursue, I also did a 6-week internship with Larsen & Toubro limited, at their under-construction ICICI Bank building (Composite Structure). Here, I was thoroughly exposed and actively involved in the various stages of construction, i.e. Planning, Field Execution, Safety Measures and Quality Control. This gave me a very good and generic idea on Civil Engineering projects, right from when it is conceived to the finishing stages.…

    Throughout the last few years, technology has been improving the lives of people from all walks of life and all fields of study. One of the big pieces of technology in the civil engineering field today is computer aided drafting. AutoCAD is a computer aided design software for the 2D and 3D design of certain objects or places. Computer aided drafting is widely used in the civil engineering field because of its ability to plan sites a lot easier then hand drawings, it can help design a lot of engineering supplies, and is constantly upgrading. Up until a few years ago, civil engineers would hand draw their design plans which could take a while. Computer aided drafting makes this process faster and easier. It can also lay out sites, roads, sidewalks, bridges and other engineering items. There are constant upgrades to computer aided drafting being made every year to improve the system and help civil engineers.…
