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
