What is Civil Engineering?

In this video I discuss "What is civil engineering?" Most people probably know this major consists of working on bridges, buildings, dams, and so on. But you may not know that civil engineering is broken up into different subfields that are very unique and different from one another. These subfields include structural engineering, geotechnical engineering, water resources engineering, and transportation engineering. Depending on the kind of projects you want to work on you will choose to focus on one of these four subfields. Note there are similar majors to civil engineering such as construction or architecture that people may confuse with civil. Be sure to understand the differences (which I explain at the end) so you can make a more educated decision on your college major.

    Math used to frustrate me. I would hate math almost every time. I would fail a class mostly with a D- or below. It became my greatest enemy. Especially geometry and trigonometry. All of a sudden, something awakened inside of me. I don't know what but i simply said to myself, "No. I'm not going to give up on math. I'm going to conquer it, just like it has conquered me". During my last year of HS, I took physics and I absolutely loved it! It wasn't easy but I certainly enjoyed it more than any other Math class i have ever taken. Now I'm in college, and I'm taking the Engineering pathway. I'm thinking about becoming Civil Engineer or something along that. I'm writing this little testimony, to hopefully inspire or awaken this passion to become someone in life. The passion for math has awakened in me and when you're passionate about something, you can do anything because you don't give up on something you enjoy and love!! Great Video by the way!

    Jake Voorhees I am a freshman in college and studying to become a civil engineer at the moment. I am torn about whether I should change it to environmental engineering so maybe a civil engineer such as yourself may help me in this predicament. I am interested in utilizing/developing environmental friendly, renewable energy technology that can be used widely in cities. Not only will it help the environment, but also, my goals will affect a large number of people’s lives for the better. I am torn though to decide whether, say, incorporating solar panels, transparent solar panel windows, and green roofs in many skyscrapers in large cities is civil or environmental. In retrospect, I want cities to become efficient, not only in spatial utilization, but also in energy and its carbon footprint.

    As a Civil and Structural Engineer, this is a really good resource for engineering students and people considering the field. I can confirm this video gives a very good representation of the field. One thing I would add is the necessity for on-site work, where a contract engineer reads engineering designs from a consulting engineer on-site and directs builders, it requires a broad understanding of technical knowledge.

    My son is 9 and has been showing interest in building stuff since he was 3. He used to watch hours of documentaries on how buildings and bridges were built. His teachers all know him as the construction boy because he would not play with anything else other than blocks and was always constructing something whether it was the titanic or Burj Khalifa. Now he uses Minecraft education edition to design stuff and taught himself how to code. I enrolled him in a coding class but I am afraid I'm not helping him to achieve his full potential because I am afraid of pushing him, I want to let him enjoy being a kid. Anyhow, I came on here to learn what the difference was between, an architect, civil engineer, mechanical engineer, structural engineer and what subjects he would need to develop or excel in to do well in this field. I really want to help guide and support him as he gets older. I appreciate these videos as well as the comments and feedback viewers provide.

I want to see structures built more efficiently, buildings with reduced heat loss, and able to stand strong the next 60 years. I love seeing the results of good engineering, like the Shanghai Tower or everything surrounding the Yamal LNG Project (I realize there are way more disciplines involved, but you get the idea), and hope to have a hand in the next engineering marvels to come. I'm 25 with a wife and a kid (another to come), and I would love to take a page out of your book and pursue a field of interest. Thank you for sharing!

    Civil engineering is the design and construction of public works, such as dams, bridges and other large infrastructure projects. It is one of the oldest branches of engineering, dating back to when people first started living in permanent settlements and began shaping their environments to suit their needs. Early engineers built walls, roads, bridges, dams, and levees; they dug wells, irrigation ditches, and trenches. As larger groups of people began living together in towns and cities, these populations needed reliable sources of clean water, the means to dispose of waste, a network of streets and roadways for commerce and trade, and a way to defend themselves against hostile neighbors. Ancient civil engineering projects include the roads of the Roman Empire, the Great Wall of China, the cliff dwellings at Mesa Verde and Mayan ruins at Copan, Palenque, and Tikal. Many early civilizations built monuments to their rulers or gods. These may have been simple mounds or truly remarkable achievements, such as the Pyramids of Giza and Stonehenge, whose construction by pre-industrial societies remains mysterious. The names of the engineers who designed these wonders are lost to antiquity. Today, the public is more likely to remember the names of great civil engineering projects than the names of the engineers who designed and built them. These include the Brooklyn Bridge (designed by John August Roebling and son Washington Roebling), the Hoover Dam (John L. Savage), the Panama Canal (John Frank Stevens) and the Golden Gate Bridge (Joseph Strauss and Charles Ellis). One notable exception is the Eiffel Tower, named after Gustave Eiffel, the French civil engineer whose company built it.

    All civil engineers also take dynamics , at least in the east coast. It’s useful for classes such as structure dynamic and earthquake engineering, which are taken by structural engineers. Some structural engineers work in aircrafts because the majority of the classes overlap with mechanical engineering, so they compliment each other: fatigue/fracture, advanced mechanics of solids/materials, finite element etc. I doubled major. Best decision I ever made. Structural engineering is just beautiful.
