What percent of civil engineers work for the construction industry? - (ANSWER)11% *
environmental/water quality - (ANSWER)1) apply fluid mechanics, biology and chemistry to the design
and operation of environmental control systems, eg, municipal & industrial wastewater systems
2) model & monitor the movement and behavior of water and air pollutants
geotechnical - (ANSWER)1) analysis of soil and rock that affect the behavior of structures, pavements,
underground facilities, and containment structures for solid and liquid wastes
2) design foundation, retaining walls, roadway cuts, etc
3) field and lab work along w design
hydraulic - (ANSWER)1) analysis and design of systems to transport liquids
2) small and large systems of pipes as well as engineered and natural channels
3) hydraulic machinery such as pumps and turbines, hydraulic controls such as valves and weird, and
hydraulic structures such as dams and spillways
structural - (ANSWER)1) Design and analysis of all man-made objects whose primary function is load
resistance, eg, buildings, bridges, aircraft, transmission towers, radar domes and antennas, drilling
platforms, etc
2) Must also consider the economics, esthetics and social implications of their creations
surveying - (ANSWER)1) precisely locate and layout engineering projects
2) GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and GPS(Global positioning systems) involving satellites are
two new technologies being widely used in surveying as well as lasers and aerial photography
transportation - (ANSWER)1) Movement of persons and goods
2) Planning, design, construction, maintenance and operation of various transportation modes

UPDATE!!
water resources - (ANSWER)1) development, use and management of world's water resources
2) design water distribution systems, wells, reservoirs, canals, locks and dams, port facilities and flood
control systems
3) Analyze the impact of other engineering projects on the natural hydrologic system
construction - (ANSWER)1) integrates design knowledge into an execution plan
2) management of construction resources: labor, materials, equipment, money and time
construction industry statistics - (ANSWER)-$950 billion total annual volume
- 8% of US GDP
- Overall production dropped 6-8%
- 80% of projects are privately financed
- 20% are paid by various public agencies
Average number of employees per firm in the construction industry? - (ANSWER)9.5 *
construction vs manufacturing - (ANSWER)Construction:
-Worksites are not permanent
-Finished product is unique
-Requires highly skilled craftsmen
-Capital is locked (more risk)
-Operators are subject to weather
-Owner is typically highly involved
Manufacturing:
-Products designed and produced with a designated purchaser
-Manufacturing: smaller units, larger batches
