Civil engineering is a versatile and broad industry that covers lots of different engineering areas with different objectives. Civil engineering generally covers the design, plan, construction, and maintenance of man-made and natural structures built for human use or benefit. Civil engineers build infrastructures like roads, bridges, dams, stadiums, pipelines, and…
Careers in civil engineering are wide-ranging, allowing you to choose a specialization. Civil engineers work both on-site and off-site helping to make sure that every stage of the project, from pitch to completion, runs smoothly and produces excellent results. The process of becoming a civil engineer isn’t extensive but it…
Civil engineering is a great industry to enter, providing a great starting salary, varied work, and the opportunity to specialize later in your career. Civil engineering is a fairly broad career path, with five main branches of civil engineering to choose from: Structural engineering Transportation engineering Water resources engineering Environmental…
The fields of mechanical and civil engineering are similar in a lot of ways—they both involve designing, planning, and constructing. Their main difference is the types of structures they work on. Both types of engineering offer great careers, but mechanical and civil engineers each need a specific type of knowledge…
Civil engineering is one of the broadest industries and careers out there. It covers the research, design, construction, and maintenance of buildings and infrastructure, both natural and man-made. The buildings and infrastructure civil engineers construct are mostly designed for public use and benefit people around the world. These buildings…
Civil engineering is the field of engineering that deals with the design, manufacturing, and maintenance of natural and man-made infrastructures. Civil engineers can work in the public or private sector. The infrastructures they work on can include dams, bridges, roads, airports, pipelines, railways, sewage systems, power plants, and sports stadiums.…
Unless you’re a budding physicist, marine biologist, or are experienced with equipment used in our oceans, the idea of multibeam sonar mapping may be perplexing. But the truth is, although it may sound technical and difficult to understand, it’s actually not. Put simply, sonar beams use sound waves to detect…
3D laser scanning is the process of making accurate and precise digital models of real-life objects, people, or spaces. 3D laser scanning can be used for 3D printing or for projects that need a portable, digital copy of something that can be annotated or adapted. For example, 3D modeling is…
Mobile mapping is the process of collecting geospatial data by using mobile vehicles like cars, drones, boats, trains, or airplanes. These vehicles are typically equipped with a range of GNSS, photographic, laser, radar, LiDAR or other remote sensing systems. Mobile mapping systems allow for the continuous calculation of 3D…
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) defines wetlands as “areas where water covers the soil or is present either at or near the surface of the soil all year or for varying periods of time during the year.” There are two different types of wetlands: Coastal or tidal wetlands. These can…
