    Study Notes

    Geomatics Engineering

    • Application areas include aeromagnetic surveys, airborne geophysics, air navigation services, archaeological excavation and survey for GIS applications, and more
    • Roles of Geomatics Engineers include designing, developing, and operating systems for collecting and analyzing spatial information about the land, oceans, natural resources, and man-made features

    Earthquake Engineering

    • Interdisciplinary branch of civil engineering that designs and analyzes structures with earthquakes in mind
    • Goals include making structures more resistant to earthquakes and avoiding serious damage or collapse in a major earthquake
    • Roles of Earthquake Engineers involve constructing structures that will not be damaged in minor shaking and will avoid serious damage or collapse in a major earthquake

    Materials Engineering

    • Dealing with the study of material strength and the properties of materials used in building and construction
    • Roles of Materials Engineers involve studying the properties of materials used in construction

    Branches and Roles of Civil Engineering

    • Branches of Civil Engineering include Construction, Materials, Structural, Earthquake, Geotechnical, Transportation, Tunnel, Environmental, Coastal, Water Resources, Municipal, and Geomatics Engineering
    • Roles of Civil Engineers involve being involved in a situation or activity and having an effect on it

    Construction Engineering

    • Deals with the planning, construction, and maintenance of structures
    • Roles of Construction Engineers include planning and executing designs from site development, environmental, structural, transportation, and structural engineers
    • Construction engineers supervise field work during the entire project and handle any problems that come up throughout the duration of the project

    Structural Engineering

    • Encompasses the structural analysis and design of structures
    • Roles of Structural Engineers include analyzing and designing a structure that will safely bear or resist the stresses, forces, and loads
    • The structure must satisfy the project specifications while meeting all safety regulations and endure massive loads as well as natural disasters and climate changes

    Geotechnical Engineering

    • Studies the behavior of earth materials and how they will affect a structure that is to be constructed
    • Roles of Geotechnical Engineers include evaluating pre-existing structures that are showing signs of problems with the earth materials under or near the structure
