 History
 In the beginning, Civil Engineering included all engineers that
did not practice military engineering; said to have begun in
18th century France
 First “Civil Engineer” was an Englishman, John Smeaton in
1761
 Civil engineers have saved more lives than all the doctors in
history --- development of clean water and
sanitation systems
 Henry H. White, first KY Civil Engineering Graduate from
Bacon (Georgetown) College in 1840
 Fall of 1886, “State College” (UK) established civil
engineering degree
 John Wesley Gunn of Lexington received first Civil
Engineering degree from A & M College (UK) in 1890

 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.

12/07/21 msa 10
 Transportation

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

12/07/21 msa 11
 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.

12/07/21 msa 12
 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

12/07/21 msa 13
 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.
