Structural &
Solid Mechanics
Structural engineers design steel, concrete, or timber framed structures such as:– Tall buildings & towers,
– Bridges,
– Dams,
– Retaining walls, & foundations, &.
– Stadiums.

Waste Treatment & Environmental.
Wastewater treatment engineers are civil or environmental engineers trained to design or analyze water treatment plants.
Water treatment plants are categorized as follows:– Sanitary waste treatment
facilities,
– Industrial waste treatment facilities,
– Potable (drinking) water treatment facility.

Transportation
Transportation Engineers design and analyze – Highways,
– Railways,
– Airports,
– Urban and Suburban Road Networks,
– Parking Lots, and
– Traffic Control Signal Systems.

Geotechnical &
Soil Mechanics
Geotechnical Engineers analyze the subterranean rock and soil to determine its suitability to support extreme loads.
Proper geotechnical engineering is essential for a safe and secure structure.

Hydraulics & Water Management
Water management involves the use of hydrologic and hydraulic principles to design:– Drainage systems,
– Detention/retention ponds,
– Navigational waterways, and
– Flood control levees, dams, and lakes.

Construction
Management
Construction managers:
– Review contracts,
– Order materials,
– Hire and schedule sub-
contractors.
The job of a construction
manager is to:
– Provide quality control and
insure project is completed on
time and.
– Within budget.
