Introduction
to Civil
Engineering
What is Engineering
The word engineer originates from the
Latin term ingenerare, meaning to
invent, to create or to regulate
It is the professional art of applying
scientific principles to every day things
to help make life easier
Engineer vs. Scientist
• Deviations between engineers and scientists
arise through the differences in the ways
both apply their educations in mathematical
and natural sciences to their work
Scientists Engineers
Use their education to acquire
new knowledge
Use their education to
develop usable
devices, structures and
processes
Seek to know Aim to do
What is a Civil Engineer?
• One who improves the quality of life
through the production of infrastructure
– Buildings, bridges and other structures
– Highways
– Dams and levees
– Water treatment plants, waste disposal
• This infrastructure must be safe,
functional, elegant and economically
sound
Why We Need Civil Engineers
• Make sure our human habitat is livable
• Make sure we use resources wisely
– Sustainable development
• Help maintain our competitiveness in
the global economy
– Increase productivity

Geotechnical Engineering
• Geotechnical Engineering is concerned with
engineering behavior of earth materials
• Geotechnical engineers:
• Investigate existing subsurface conditions
(tunnels excavations, pipelines)
• Determine physical and chemical properties
relevant to project considered
• Assess risks posed by site conditions
• Design earthworks and structural foundations
• Monitor earthwork and foundation
construction

The World Islands
A modern marvel of geotechnical engineering!
The World Islands Fun Facts
•Located 2.5 miles off the coast of
Dubai, United Arab Emirates
•The 300 islands are composed of 321 million cubic meters
of sand and 31 million tons of rock
•The land used to create the islands largely consists of
sand dredged from Dubai’s shallow coastal waters
•Overall development costs are estimated at $14 billion USD
•Cost for full ownership of one of the undeveloped islands
ranges between $10 million and $45 million USD
Transportation Engineering
Planning, Design, Operation and Maintenance
of safe and efficient transportation systems
Incorporating new technologies to improve
system performance
Intelligent Transportation Systems

• Lesson:
– Goals the same, techniques change
One last example …
Pretty Amazing!
A WATER BRIDGE .. OVER A RIVER!!!
Activity – Penny Boats
• Construct your boat using only one piece of
the heavy duty aluminum foil provided.
• Predict how many pennies your boat will
hold: _______________
• Slowly add pennies to your boat. Once water
enters the boat, or if any part of the boat
touches the bottom of the container, your
turn is over.
• The last penny added will not count
in the total amount held.

Engineer vs. Scientist • Deviations between engineers and scientists arise through the differences in the ways both apply their educations in mathematical and natural sciences to their work Scientists Engineers Use their education to acquire new knowledge Use their education to develop usable devices, structures and processes Seek to know Aim to do
  • 4. What is a Civil Engineer? • One who improves the quality of life through the production of infrastructure – Buildings, bridges and other structures – Highways – Dams and levees – Water treatment plants, waste disposal • This infrastructure must be safe, functional, elegant and economically sound

  • 33. Activity – Penny Boats • Construct your boat using only one piece of the heavy duty aluminum foil provided. • Predict how many pennies your boat will hold: _______________ • Slowly add pennies to your boat. Once water enters the boat, or if any part of the boat touches the bottom of the container, your turn is over. • The last penny added will not count in the total amount held.
