Civil engineering focuses on Civil engineering focuses on the infrastructure of the world:the infrastructure of the world:

Water works, Sewers, Dams, Power Plants, Transmission Towers/Lines, Railroads, Highways, Bridges, Tunnels, Irrigation Canals, River Navigation, Shipping Canals, Traffic Control, Mass Transit, Airport Runways, Terminals, Industrial Plant Buildings, Skyscrapers, etc.

Civil EngineeringCivil Engineering• 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

Civil EngineeringCivil Engineering

• 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

• Design foundations, retaining walls, roadway cuts, etc.

• Field and laboratory work along with design.

Hydraulic EngineersHydraulic Engineers

• Analyze and design systems to transport liquids.

• Small and large systems of pipes as well as engineered and natural channels.

• Hydraulic machinery such as pumps and turbines, hydraulic controls such as valves and weirs, and hydraulic structures such as dams and spillways.

Materials EngineersMaterials Engineers

Design, analyze, and construct materials such as:

• Steel

• Concrete

• Masonry

• Asphalt

• Composites

Structural EngineersStructural Engineers• Design and analyze all man-

made objects whose primary function is load resistance: buildings, bridges, aircraft, transmission towers, radar domes and antennas, drilling platforms, etc.

• Must also consider the economics, esthetics and social implications of their creations.
