has an annual budget of about 6 mi l l ion d o l l a r s , the sources of t hese funds beine

divided approximately equa l ly between appropr i a t ed S t a t e funds and funds acquired

through the e f f o r t s of the Department from o u t s i d e s o u r c e s . Some s i x t h f a c u l t v

The program of the Depar tment embraces the primary a reas of i n s t r u c t i o n

r e sea rch , and publ ic s e r v i c e . The i n s t r u c t i o n a l program inc ludes a broad spectrum of

course o f fe r ings both in the undergraduate and g radua te l e v e l s . Approximately ha l f

of the e f for t of the Department i s devoted t o r e s e a r c h , which i s an i n t e g r a l and

necessary component of the graduate educa t iona l program.

This Department i s one of the c e n t e r s of e x c e l l e n c e i n C i v i l E n g i n e e r i n g

t h i s Department i s found in the accomplishment of i t s a lumni , many of whom a re

CIVIL ENGINEERING IS . . . .

STRUCTURES:

Structural engineers design and supervise the erection of major structural systems.

Many factors that apply to safety, economy, function, and appearance must be considered

in the design of such structures. Structural engineers must be able to identify loads

and forces, consider the effects of storms and earthquakes, select the appropriate

geometric form, and choose the materials used in building structural systems.

Structural engineers emphasize their studies in the areas of engineering mechanics,

properties and behavior of materials, and structural analysis and design.

TRANSPORTATION

Transportation engineers are responsible for the planning, analysis, design, con­

struction, maintenance, and safe operation of all types of transportation facilities

needed for the efficient, convenient movement of people and goods. Transportation

engineers who are concerned with transportation planning must know the political, eco­

nomic, operational, and environmental aspects of transportation systems; while transpor­

tation facilities engineers concentrate their attention on the design, construction, and

maintenance of roadways, railroads, bridges, and airports.

CONSTRUCTION:

Construct ion engineers p lan, coo rd ina t e , and supe rv i se the bu i ld ing of major f a c i l ­

i t i e s . They transform plans and s p e c i f i c a t i o n s i n t o func t iona l p r o j e c t s t h a t se rve

s o c i e t y ' s needs. Construct ion engineers must have a thorough knowledge of the computer-

based schedul ing , e s t ima t ing , and resource a l l o c a t i o n techniques used by modern c o n t r a c -

t o r s . Th is i s because they p lan each Job from s t a r t t o f i n i s h , determining the

equipment, p l a n t , and workers r e q u i r e d , as we l l a s e s t i m a t e c o s t s and m o n i t o r

e x p e n d i t u r e s c o n c e n t r a t i o n within t h i s s p e c i a l i z a t i o n has emphasis in c o n s t r u c t i o n

engineer ing and management.

MATERIALS ENGINEERING

- *

Construction materials engineers are responsible for specifying, designing, and/or

manufacturing the materials with which they bu i ld t h e i r s t r u c t u r e s . S t u d i e s in

c o n s t r u c t i o n m a t e r i a l s a re Intended t o make the s t r u c t u r a l , t r anspor t a t ion a nd

foundation engineers aware of the fundamental properties with which they work. Topics

such as the physics and chemistry of metals, ceramics, and polymers are studied in

preparation for work in this area. They provide a basis upon which the behavior of

structural steel, asphalt, concrete, and other materials can be considered.

VERRAZANO-NARROWS BRIDGE PHOTOGRAMMETRIC AND GEODETIC;

Photogrammetric and geodetic engineers maps the e a r t h ' s surface using e lec t ron ic

surveying equipment and complex ana ly t ica l techniques. They are able to determine with

great accuracy the heights of mountains, the locat ions of r i v e r s , the dimensions of

geological formations, and the precise locat ions of points on, above, or beneath the

ear th ' s surface. Surveying is an essential tool for determining the physical character­

i s t i c s of project s i t e s and for laying out and constructing large f ac i l i t i e s according

to plan. The newest surveying techniques include measurements by s a t e l l i t e positioning

which proves to be very accurate and fas t .

GEOTECHNICAL

Geotechnical engineers work with the e a r t h ' s natural building mate r ia l s , s o i l s and

rocks . They design and supervise the construct ion of foundations for major s t r u c t u r e s ,

such as high-use bu i ld ings , power p l a n t s , dams, and bridges. Geotechnical engineers

must have an understanding of the o r ig ins and proper t ies of s o i l s and rocks and of the

u t i l i z a t i o n of these ma te r i a l s in modern cons t ruc t ion . Their knowledge and experience

enable them to use these mate r ia l s safely and, with respect for the natural envlrowwmt.

to build cana l s , t unne l s , and dams to serve s o c i e t y ' s needs. Emphasis i s placed on th»

geological sciences and s tructural mechanics for th is part icular apecia

ENVIRONMENTAL B^^^B^^^B^^B^^^B^^^B^^B^^^B^^^B^^B^B

Environmental engineers design and operate systems that purify air and H2o and/or

treat municipal and industrial wastes so that they can be recycled or disposed of

without harming humans or the environment. Environmental engineers are involved in the

development and management of our air and H20 resources. The production of pure

drinking H20 requires the removal of harmful chemicals and microorganisms. The

treatment of wastes for safe disposal requires a thorough understanding of pollutants.

A background in the chemical and biological sciences is necessary for this area of

specialization.

HYDRQSYSTEMS

Hydrosystem engineers are responsible for the planning, design, construction, and

operation of facilities for the control and utilization of water. Using modern

technology and sound planning, they work to assure an adequate supply of clean, safe

water to our cities, industries, and agricultural Installations; to relieve the effects

of erosion along coastlines and river beds; and to provide adequate drainage systems as

well as hydroelectric power. Hydrosystem engineers must able to apply engineering

and economic principles to the management and control of groundwater, lakes, rivers, and

estuaries. Knowledge of the hydraulic sciences is essential to the successful

completion and operation of projects such as reservoirs, canals, river navigation

systems, harbors, offshore facilities, and ocean structures.

STUDENT SOCIETIES IN CE

ASCE The American Society of Civi l Engineers.

Thi s society was founded in 1852 and represents the oldest national

engineering society. On the University scale, ASCE helps students through

their college years as well as preparing them for the future. On the

professional level, ASCE is devoted to the advancement of CE knowledge an

enhancement of the professional status of the civil engineer.

AGC The Associated General Contractors of America.

AGC is a group of students who share a common interest in the construction

industry and process. AGC sponsors activities throughout the yes

designed to further this interest and to give practical insight into how

projects go from paper to solid form.
