Our Evolving in Time
By: Matthew Koch
Civil engineering has been around almost since the begging of man kind. Simple things such as Building a tepee poetry or even canals. Those are some example that were used in the early years of mankind. We have evolved greatly from building or using objects like that to building skyscrapers, massive bridges and sophisticated road ways. I will now go into more detail about the history of engineering exploring the subjects of the different of techniques, materials, and also knowledge needed to become a civil a civil engineer.
Most civil engineers have a civil engineering academic degree, you will normally get this degree in 3 - 5 years. During these years you will normally stumble over the topics physics, mathematics, project management, design and specific topics in civil engineering. Initially such topics cover most, if not all, of the sub-disciplines of civil engineering. Students then choose to specialize in one or more specific topics like environmental engineering, geo-technical engineering, structural engineering, transportation engineering, municipal or urban engineering, water resources engineering, materials engineering, coastal engineering, surveying, and construction engineer. These are the different categories in civil engineering that you can choose from. After you get your degree your on your own. There is no specific things that might happen but normally you will start out with small projects and then you will gain trust to work on bigger projects.
Most of the materials that were used 1000 years ago for buildings was stone and wood. They would build all houses out of these to materials. These were very efficient to what we have now. Now we have more materials such as steal, asphalt, and concrete. These materials can with stand more weight and pressure. Today are materials are more efficient but more costly.today we also know about how our materials are able to withstand and when they need to be replaced every so often. We also changed are techniques by building many cities instead of castles and massive churches. We went from giant walk ways to sophisticated highways. he have evolved by creating new materials many times stronger then the ones we have had before. We have reached a turning point in our capability to do almost any thing we want.
