Lecture # 1

Department of Civil Engineering

Swedish College of Engineering and Technology-Wah Cantt.

What is Civil Engineering? • Profession of designing and executing structural works that serve the general

public, including: • Buildings bridges, canals, dams, harbors, lighthouses, roads, tunnels, and • Environmental works (e.g., water supply systems)• The modern field includes power plants, aircraft and airports, chemical-

processing and water treatment plants, and water-treatment facilities• Civil engineering today involves: • Site investigations and feasibility studies, • Structural design and analysis, construction, and facilities maintenance. • The design of engineering works requires the application of design theory

from many fields (e.g., hydraulics, thermodynamics, nuclear physics)

3

What is Civil Engineering? • A branch of engineering that encompasses the conception,

design, construction, and management of residential and commercial buildings and structures, water supply facilities, and transportation systems for goods and people, as well as control of the environment for the maintenance and improvement of the quality of life.

• Civil engineering includes planning and design professionals in both the public design professionals in both the public and private sectors, contractors, builders, educators, and researchers. Civil engineering is a professional

4

• Engineering discipline that deals with the engineering discipline that deals with the design and construction of the physical and natural built environment, including works such as bridges, roads, canals, dams and buildings.

• Civil engineering is the oldest engineering discipline after military engineering, and it was defined to distinguish it from military engineering

• Engineering is the application of objective knowledge to creation of plans, designs and means for achieving desired objectives.

• Technology deals with tools and techniques for carrying out plans.
