CIVIL ENGINEERING

By: Alexander Ibarguen Mendoza

WHAT IS THAT?

Let's beging knowing what is Engineering. The engineering is a art

that use the sciences for makes many things.

It's uses the ingenuity for solution to problems.

Now, I'll speak about the Civil Engineering. The Civil Engineering is a
nice profession that use the sciences for design and/or build many
things.

WHAT IS CIVIL ENGINEER?

The Civil Engineer is a person who has a professional legal degree of

Civil Engineer and is authorized to practice this profession through a
card or a registration that accredits it.

This person uses their knowledge about the sciences and

administrative principles to create civil works.

WHAT ARE THISE CIVIL WORKS OR PROJECTS?

Civil works are all those projects that are made or build for to solve
problems in the environment where lives the people.

Those civil works are:

● Bridges.
 ● Homes.
● Buildings.
● Airports.
● Seaports.
● River ports.
● Roads.
● Pavements.
● Canals.
● Retaining walls.
● Towers.
● Aqueducts.
● Sewers.
● Industrial wineries.
● Dams.
● Protection structures.
● Content structures.
● Schools and Colleges.
● Stadiums.
● Create new materials.
● And more.

OTHER THINGS OR JOBS THAT CAN DO IT

How can they do it?

Like the Civil Engineering is a independent profession, a Civil
Engineer can does their work alone or with other professionals. When
the Civil Engineers work into a team, they can do it as team members
o as team leaders. Their job can do on field (outside) or into a office.

What can they do?

A Civil Engineers can have many jobs. Because they have a integral
education. Some of this job are:

● A project manager.
 ● A designer.
● A builder.
● A teacher (High schools, Colleges, and others)
● A company manager.
● A head project.
● A drawer.
● A evaluator.
● A inventor.
● A builds pathology.
● A consultant or a advisor.
● A laboratory's manager.
● A software programmer (or as a consultant for this).

FINALLY

Some people doesn't know the difference between a Civil Engineer

and an Architect and believes that are the same. But this is not
correct.

The Civil Engineers and Architects have only one common thing:
Both can be builders. But their education and professional areas are
very different.

The architecture is more artistic, work with spaces and the Civil
Engineering is more scientist. Like a example: when both (Architect
and Civil Engineer) are in a project, designing a building, the
Architect design the spaces distribution, the facades and the
landscaping but the Civil Engineer uses the mathematical and
scientific principles to design the structure and foundation that will
support the building; designs, too, the nets that will supply water,
electricity and air into the building, the drainage nets and study the
soil to guarantee the stability of the landscaping works.

If a project be a human body. The Architect design the skin and

located where will be the legs, arms, head and others. But the Civil
Engineer design the size and proportion of the bone system, the
digestive system, the circulatory system, the nervous system and each
of its organs; the size of the feet to support the body.

The Architect's work is visible but the Civil Engineer's work,

frequently, is invisible.

CONCLUSION

By that, when you be crossing a bridge, driving your car on a highway,

arriving in a port (in a plane, on a ship or on a little boat), taking a
shower, walking or running on a pavement; when your house, or your
building doesn't fall after a earthquake or a hurricane; when your
neighborhood isn't flooded, think and thank to those unknown
Engineers, for you, who have designed those structures.

We don't see a lot of their works because are invisible, but those
works are there, around us as hidden angels, doing our life more easy
and sure.
