Civil engineering

Architecture is more than steel and glass. The edifices that humans have built throughout history stand as a testament to the people and the ideals that embodied their society. Buildings are places where people live, work, and play. Architects play a vital role in how humans will interact with their structures. They will also have an influence on the way people behave within the space. Architects play a role in shaping the future of society by the structures that they create. By creating the…

power removes abilities of Indigenous communities to self finance forms of development like water treatment infrastructure. The IA not granting band councils full municipality status limits their ability to self develop because they cannot fund water infrastructure through methods like levying a municipal tax for loans. Furthermore, the inability to levy a municipal tax also reduces their access to loans for infrastructure because they can not make repayment guarantees. The second dependency…

Humankind have been constructing magnificent structures as far as history can remember. Many engineered marvels have been questioned as how such lengths were pushed to erect the tallest and elaborate creations without the modern tools we know and use today. But, there was a time where all knowledge for construction had seized. On the contrary, there was one willful man in Florence, Italy, Filippo Brunelleschi (1377 – 1446) who was up to the challenge and to prove it the Cathedral of Santa Maria…

Tesen 1 Dr. Chris Blankenship English 1010 11/30/2015 Civil Engineer The growth of urban settings and the never ending maintenance for building structures and roadways demand constant work, civil engineers are just some of those people that have that responsibility. Some of the common jobs and responsibilities of a civil engineer are to plan and design bridges, tunnels, highways, waterways, airfields, sewage systems, and buildings. They…

that gender is often overlooked when diversity is discussed. Engineering has been and still is a male dominated field of study. Women have often been overlooked and seen as incapable of this type of work but in reality this is not true. Since NC State has a very large engineering program, I have had the opportunity to experience this on campus. Amelia Coley is a senior here at NC State and she is currently studying civil engineering. After meeting with Amelia and discussing her experiences as…

engineers is professor Henry Petroski. He is a professor in civil engineering, but also he is an author who uses his major to write many great books that talk about engineering. Being an engineering and author at the same time makes him special in my view because in that case he tells people about engineering and about his great experience. Professor Petroski was…

services covering water, air, and land. Furthermore, Amec Foster Wheeler spearhead the number one position in leadership for environmental consulting and engineering in the world. Like most projects, the ones I have worked on at Amec had a project life cycle. This intel initiation, planning, execution, and close out. In the Air Force Civil Engineering we shorten the phrase by saying…

since my options were limited and in the end of the long road I end up striving for Chemical Engineer. My decision was based off of many different reason, the greatest being my childhood life. The global demands for occupations such as chemical engineering keeps on growing for many different aspect of fascination as well as necessity to improve many societies. Many people might ask why anyone would desire a job where an individual is asked to sit in a lap and observe all the chemical reactions…

Yuhao Zheng Northwest Corner Building The Northwest Corner building locates on 118 Broadway, northwest of Columbia University Morningside campus. The different scale and material of the building make it easy to identify and hard to forget, however, not every resident and critics have positive opinion of the building. The critic Mark Lamster says: “This is not the building most New Yorkers were expecting from either Moneo or Columbia. I think there was an expectation of something contextual,…

energy sources. I have always been interested in science and engineering, because they are the foundation to societal advancement. It is the future generation's responsibility to make a change and more towards a sustainable future, and I want to be a part of that change. I want to use my knowledge of physics and engineering to create something that pushes the limits of what is possible. Science is the ability to predict the future, but engineering is the ability to control the future, and I…
