Civil Engineering

Engineering for Civilization

Egyptian pyramids Great Wall of China Roman Aqueducts

What do Civil Engineers do?

• Structures• Environmental• Transportation• Geotechnical• Construction• Materials• Water Resources

Civilization and Infrastructure

The sub-disciplines combine in things we ALL use and are often public owned or shared:

• Buildings• Streets and Roads• Water Supply and Distribution• Airports• Bridges• Flood Protection …

Is Civil Engineering a good fit for YOU?

• Are you interested in large infrastructure projects

that improve society?

• Do you enjoy being part of an interdisciplinary team?

• Do you like to see the results of your labor?

(building, bridge, canal, etc.)

Architectural Engineering

Engineering a more aesthetic future for the world!

Sydney Opera House

What is Architectural Engineering?

• Any engineering applied to a building project that either enables or enhances the intended use of the facility

• All engineering design that falls within the building “envelope” falls within the category of architectural engineering

What’s the difference between an Architectural Engineer

and an Architect?• Architectural Engineer - responsible for the design of theengineering systems in a building including the structural system,HVAC, plumbing, power distribution, acoustics, and illumination as well as the construction of the building. Registered Professional Engineer (PE)

• Architect - responsible for the aesthetics or the appearance ofthe building and the floor plan/layout.Registered Architect (AIA)

Emphasis Areas (Architectural Engineering)

• Structural Engineering - framing, supports, walls, floors, ceilings

• Mechanical Engineering- acoustics, heating, ventilation and air conditioning

• Electrical Engineering- lighting - power

• Construction Materials Engineering- building material selection

• Construction Management- execution of construction documents and specifications- design/build oriented firms

Is Architectural Engineering a good fit for YOU?

• Are you comfortable with math and physical science?

• Are you curious and do you have a creative side?

• Do you value independence and responsibility?

• Do you want to make a world of difference through the

useful application of science?

Environmental Engineering

Optimizing the balance of man’s development and the impact on our global and local environment

Before and After “Environmental Engineering”

The Great London Smog Lasted for five days and resulted in about 4,000 deaths

Cuyahoga River, Ohio Caught fire 15 times

Before After

Cuyahoga

• Water supply and treatment• Air pollution control• Wastewater treatment• Hazardous waste remediation and management• Solid waste disposal• Public health• Policy and law

What is Environmental Engineering?

Why is Environmental Engineering important?

Environmental Engineering: discipline needs broad knowledge in manyareas that were previously not covered inany one field.

Is Environmental Engineering a good fit for YOU?

• Do you have interest in the environment?

• Do you like large scale challenges?

• Are you comfortable with interdisciplinary issues?

Job Outlook for Environmental Engineers

Environmental engineers are expected to have employment growth of 31 percent over the projections decade, much faster than the average for all occupations. More environmental engineers will be needed to help companies comply with environmental regulations and to develop methods of cleaning up environmental hazards.
