DEFINITION OF CIVIL ENGINEERING

Civil engineering is a professional engineering discipline that deals with the
design, construction, and maintenance of the physical and naturally built
enviroment, including works like roads, bridges, canals, dams and buildings. Civil
engineering is the second oldest engineering discipline after military engineering.
Civil engineering takes place in the public sektor from municipal through
to national goverments, and in the private sector from individual home owners
through to international companies.

BRANCHES OF CIVIL ENGINEERING

a. Construction Engineering
This civil engineering branch deals with the planning, construction and
maintenance of structures. Construction engineering is the planning and
execution of design form site development, enviromental, structural,
transportation and structural engineers. They must ensure that the plans that
have been designed by other engineers are implemented to their exact
specifications. Construction engineers will supervise field work during the
entire project. They are in a sense a cross between an engineer and manager
as they will overse the project from start to finish and handle any problems
that come up throughout the duration of the project.
b. Structural Engineering
This branch of civil engineering encompasses the structural analysis
and design of structures. It is the responsibility of the structural engineer tp
analyze and design a structure that will safely bear or resist the stresses, forces
 and loads. The design must satisfy the project spesifications while meeting all
safety regulations. The structure must endure massive loads as well as natural
disasters and cilmate changes
c. Geotechnical engineering
In geotechnical engineering the engineer studies soil, foundations and
bearing capacities. The engineers will study the behavior af the earth materials
and how they will affect a structre that is to be constructed. They will also
evaluate pre-existing structures that are showing signs of problems with the
earth materials under or near the structure.
d. Transportation Engineering
Civil engineers that specialize in trasnportation engineering will work
with the planning, construction, and management of transportation facilities.
They will design and implement the infrastructures that deal with
transportation in order to provide a safe, comfortable, conenient, economical
and enviromintally compatible mode of transport.
e. Surveying
This type of civil engineering branch handles the surveying and leveling
of land by using different instruments to map and contour the terrain.
f. Water resource engineering
These engineers deal with the design and construction of hydraulic
structures. These sctructures include dams, canals, and water distribution
system.
g. Enviromental Engineering
This civil engineering type is the study of enviroment friendly design,
pollution and their resolutions and sewage management.
h. Municipal Engineering
Tehese engineers will work with urban or city goverments on the
planning and management of the township.
i. Coastal Engineering
This branch of civil engineeering deals with coastal ang marine
structures. These structures include groynes and embankments.
j. Tunel Engineers
Civil engineers who specialize in tunnel engineering are responsible for
the planning, designing, construction, safety and maintenance of tunels.
k. Earthquake Engineers
Earthquake engineers study the seismic forces and earthquake
resistant strucutres. In regions that are known for seismic activities, engineers
must design and construct structures based on how well thwy will react within
an earthquake situation.
l. Material Enginnering
This branch of civil engineering deals with the study of materials
strength, properties of materials used in construction and ceramics.

WORK LIST FOR CIVIL ENGINEERING

a. Civil engineering Could Be Civil Servants

Government institutions also need graduates such as the Ministry
of Public Works (PU), dealing with various matters relating to the
construction of state facilities. It also can work at the National Planning
Agency, the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (Energy and Mineral
Resources), the Company Landscaping town and many more.
b. State-owned enterprises
Employment prospects Civil Engineering study program in the
state, for example in Hutama, Cipta Karya (Planning), and many more
state-owned enterprises that receive civil engineering.
c. Building Construction Contractors
The construction is still in need of a job building construction
Consultants have many options for those who still want to opt for civil
engineering such as structural engineer, site engineer, pengkira about, and
much more.
d. Other fields
Graduates can work in the dam project for power generation in
addition to civil engineering undergraduate at the bank or financial
institution to analyze the visibility of projects to be undertaken with the
borrowing of money, such as bridges and buildings.
e. Lecturer in Civil Engineering
An engineer of civil engineering is still needed as a teacher in both
public and private universities with large salary paying jobs to pursue a
master program in advance.
