Posted: December 10th, 2013

report that researches the profession of civil engineering.

a) What is civil engineering? What do civil engineers do? Use examples to help you define
and describe the general civil engineering profession and each of the major sub disciplines? (environmental engineering, geotechnical engineering, structural engineering, transportation engineering, Hydraulic engineering and construction engineering) At least one page for part “A”
b) What sub-discipline of civil engineering are you currently interested in and leaning
toward in your career? Discuss this sub-discipline with somewhat more detail than the
others. (talk about transportation engineering)
c) Discuss how do you become “specialized” in one of the civil engineering sub-disciplines. (transportation engineering)
d) Perform a case study that discusses an existing civil engineering project and the
relevance of your chosen sub-discipline. The choice of project to be analyzed can be
anything that illustrates the profession of civil engineering and construction
management: recent or ancient, large or small, famous or little known, etc. (Talk about any transportation engineering project)
