• About 8 Different Subsets
1. Structures
2. Water Resources
3. Transportation (includes Traffic)
4. Urban Planning
5. Environmental Engineering
6. Surveying (Geomatics)
7. Construction
8. Geotechnical (Soils)
Structural Engineering
Structural materials include...
1. Steel
2. Reinforced concrete
3. Masonry (brick)
4. Wood
Structural Engineers design:
Bridges
Buildings
Dams
Tunnels
Tanks
Power plants
Retaining walls
California Structural Engrs must design for
seismic forces
Structural Engrs often work w/ Architects and Contractors
Water Resources
Large Scale Projects include...
Aqueducts
Reservoirs
Dams
Hydroelectric Projects
Flood Control
Smaller scale projects include
Pipeline and valve design
Water wells
Water treatment
Pumping systems

California aqueduct, Central Valley

Glen Canyon Dam, Page, Arizona
Transportation
Concerned with:
Safe and efficient movement of both people and goods
Projects include:
Harbors and Ports
Highways, Streets, Roads

Airports
Mass Transit Systems
Railroads
Traffic Engineering:
Light timing, traffic flow
Urban Planning
Most Urban Planners do not have Civil Engineering backgrounds
Most Urban Planning projects involve Civil Engineering
projects: Buildings, roads, bridges
Urban Planning Projects include…
Housing density
Greenspace (parks) planning
Traffic flow
World Trade Center Design Finalists

Roundabout, Santa Barbara
Environmental Engineering
Has evolved into its own separate branch of engineering at
many universities
HSU: Environmental Resources Engineering
Occasionally grouped with Mechanical Engineering, more
commonly associated with Civil Engineering
Responsible for controlling, preventing, and eliminating air,
water, and land pollution
Projects might include:
Waste water treatment
Sewage treatment
Air quality control

Recycling
California’s MTBE
dilemma (MethylTertiary-Butyl-Ether)
Surveying (Geomatics)
At one time, Land Surveying was a required course for all
engineering majors; Today, it is an elective for Civil Engrs
Responsible for ‘mapping out’ construction sites, locating existing
landmarks, establishing boundary lines between properties.
Equipment includes theodolites, transits, levels, Philadelphia
rods, surveyor’s chains.
Projects might include:
Construction staking
Constructing topographic maps
Photogrammetry & aerial photography
Construction
Usually responsible for construction projects from start to finish,
including:
Estimating construction costs
Determining equipment and
personnel needs
Supervising construction
A typical construction project may involve…
Architects (often head the project)
Civil Engineers, including Structural & Construction
Electrical Engineers
Mechanical Engineers
Contractors: (Responsible for actual construction)
Planners
Landscape Architects
Geotechnical Engineering
Also known as Soils Engineering, involved in:
Foundation design
Retaining Walls
Landslide abatement
Geotextiles
Soil Testing
Coordination with Structural Engineers
in large building construction
