Architectural engineering
Architectural
engineering, also known as building engineering, is the application
of engineering principles and technology to building design and
construction. Architectural engineers create much of the physical environment
in which we all work, live. and play. gaining and honing the needed analytical
and design abilities is challenging and never ending . in a course on
construction materials and methods , you"ll learn about construction
process, building codes, and working with concrete metals, wood and plastics.
you might visit a construction site and then write about the choice the
architects and engineers have made / you could design a building in detail and
might even get to build part of it.
Construction engineering
Construction engineering is a professional
discipline that deals with the designing, planning, construction, and management of infrastructures
such as highways, bridges, airports, railroads, buildings, dams, and utilities.The entire environment of homes, buildings, roads, freeways,
bridges, and much more result from the delivery of construction projects. It is
the responsibility of the construction engineer and construction manager to
deliver these projects in a manner that maximizes value – a quality product at
a fair price, safely constructed in a timely fashion. This final step in the
development of our infrastructure – construction – is one of the most visible
products in all of engineering.
Earthquake engineering
Earthquake
engineering or engineering seismology is an
interdisciplinary branch of engineering that searches for ways to
make structures, such as buildings and bridges, resistant
to earthquake damage. The focus of
our Earthquake Engineering practice is two-fold: post-earthquake investigations
of causative mechanisms resulting in structural damage, failure, or collapse;
and earthquake planning and risk mitigation, which includes identification,
quantification, and mitigation of risk through optimal repair strategies,
performance-based upgrades, and customized solutions. We offer multi-faceted
holistic support to property owners, insurance and legal communities, and
government agencies, both in the aftermath of earthquakes and in pre-earthquake
planning and mitigation.
Hydraulic engineering
Hydraulic engineering as a
sub-discipline of civil engineering is concerned with the flow and
conveyance of fluids, principally water and sewage. One feature of these
systems is the extensive use of gravity as the motive force to cause the
movement of the fluids.hydraulics engineering is a field within the civil
engineering discipline that addresses the control and management of water resources.
As a hydraulic engineer, you"ll plan and manage the flow and storage of
water.
Mining engineering
Mining engineering is
an engineering discipline that involves the practice, the
theory, the science, the technology, and application of extracting and
processing minerals from a naturally occurring environment. Mining Engineers design mines and will use engineering
principles, technology and scientific theory for the safe and effective
extraction of natural resources from these mines. Mining Engineers plan, design
and operate the mining processes, both underground and above ground. Mining
Engineers will be responsible for the overseeing of both mining operations and
miners, and are employed by many mining-related organizations.
Mining
Engineers will often work with Geologists and Metallurgical Engineers to find
and evaluate new mineral deposits. Some Mining Engineers will be involved in
the development of new equipment or direct mineral-processing operations to
separate minerals from dirt, rock, and other materials.
Transportation engineering
Transportation engineering or transport
engineering is the application of technology and scientific principles to
the planning, functional design, operation and management of facilities for any
mode of transportation in order to provide for the safe, efficient,
rapid, comfortable, convenient, economical. Transportation has always played an essential role in the
development of society, originally with regard to trade routes and harbours,
but more recently with regard to land- and air-based systems as well. It is the
transportation engineer's responsibility to plan, design, build, operate and
maintain these systems of transport, in such a way as to provide for the safe,
efficient and convenient movement of people and goods.
Geotechnical engineering
Geotechnical
engineering is a civil engineering discipline that is concerned with
building on, in, or with soil and rock. Geotechnical engineers design dams, embankments, cuts,
foundations, retaining walls, anchors, tunnels, and all other structures
directly interacting with the subsoil, both onshore and offshore. Geotechnical engineering is
the branch of civil engineering concerned with the engineering behavior of earth materials. Geotechnical engineering is important in civil
engineering, but also has applications in military, mining, petroleum and other engineering disciplines that are concerned with construction occurring on the
surface or within the ground. Geotechnical engineering uses principles of soil mechanics and rock
mechanics to investigate subsurface conditions and materials; determine
the relevant physical mechanical and chemical properties of these materials;
evaluate stability
of natural slopes and man-made soil deposits; assess risks posed by site
conditions; design earthworks and structure foundations; and monitor site conditions, earthwork and foundation
construction.
