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 ³Civil 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

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 theeconomics, esthetics and
social implications of their creations.
