CIVIL ENGINEERING.
Built around real course units and objectives!
Structural Engineering - Answer: Major technical specialty determination of loads,
foundation design, structural behavior, structural members, structural erection.
Water Resources Engineering - Answer: Concerned with the supply and access of water.
Transportation Engineering - Answer: Safe and efficient movement of people.
Environmental Engineering - Answer: Impact of structures and building on environment.
Construction Engineering - Answer: Manage, coordinate, and organize the flow of materials
and workers in order to stay on budget and on time.
Geomatics Engineering - Answer: - Measure, collect, and analyze information regarding the
land, ocean, and natural resources.
- Land surveyors, digital mapping, etc.
American Society of Civil Engineers - Answer: ASCE
Piers - Answer: Bridge component that transfers load into the ground.
Abutments - Answer: Connect the bridge to the ground.
Truss Bridge - Answer: A beam bridge that uses small parts arranged in triangles to support
the deck. The load spreads out through all structural members and each structural
member in compression or tension. It can carry heavier loads over longer spans.
