3. ROLE OF DIFFERENT CIVIL ENGINEERS
1. STRUCTURAL ENGINEER
• PLAY AN ACTIVE ROLE IN PREPARING THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN OF AN AREA.
• SPECIFICATIONS SHOULD BE FOLLOWED, STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS SHOULD BE
DONE USING THE LATEST TECHNIQUES AND ADVANCED METHODS LIKE
PERFORMANCE BASED DESIGNS MUST BE FOLLOWED RATHER THAN SIMPLE CODE
BASED APPROACHES.
2. GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEER
• STUDY OF THE GROUND BEHAVIOR IS A MUST.
• EXAMINATION OF THE SUBSOIL BY A GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEER IS A VERY
IMPORTANT CRITERIA IN CONSTRUCTION WORKS, ENSURING THE STRUCTURE
WILL NOT GIVE IN IN THE FACE OF A CALAMITY AND TO UNDERSTAND THE SITE
SPECIFIC RESPONSE.

4. ROLE OF DIFFERENT CIVIL ENGINEERS
3. HYDRAULIC ENGINEER
• PROVIDE INFORMATION ABOUT BRIDGES AND DAM CONSTRUCTION AND ALSO
SUGGEST FLOOD CONTROL MEASURES.
4. CITY PLANNER
• CITY PLANNERS MUST KEEP IN MIND THE VULNERABILITY OF A SPECIFIC AREA TO
DISASTERS.
• SPECIFICATIONS AND GUIDELINES SHOULD BE ISSUED FOR CONSTRUCTION
ACTIVITIES IN THESE AREAS.

• STORM WATER MANAGEMENT
• SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL
• PUBLIC HEALTH
• LAND MANAGE 5

15. ROLE OF CIVIL ENGINEERING STUDENTS
• THE COURSE STRUCTURE AND SYLLABUS IS DESIGNED TO IMPART THE
NECESSARY THEORETICAL BACKGROUND OF ALL ASPECTS OF CIVIL ENGINEERING.
• MORE SITE VISITS AND INTERACTION WITH PROFESSIONALS WILL ENABLE A
BETTER CONCEPT OF THE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS AND WILL FAMILIARIZE
STUDENTS WITH THE LATEST PRACTICES.
• SEMINARS AND PROJECT WORK IN ADVANCED AND INTERDISCIPLINARY AREAS
WILL BROADEN THE STUDENTS’ KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE CIVIL ENGINEERING
FIELD.
• THE INVOLVEMENT OF STUDENTS IN ON-SITE TRAINING STRENGTHENS THEIR
UNDERSTANDING OF VARIOUS CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES.
• STUDENTS SHOULD LEARN ABOUT VARIOUS TYPES OF DISASTERS, AND ABOUT
THE BEHAVIOUR OF VARIOUS STRUCTURES DURING EARTHQUAKES, TSUNAMIS
AND CYCLONES. STUDENTS SHOULD ALSO BE AWARE ABOUT THE BLAST-
RESISTANT FEATURES OF STRUCTURES.
