Each specialization has its own distinct purpose and set of challenges, but they share the same general objective- to design, build, and maintain infrastructures in order to enhance the safety, functionality, and sustainability of the built environment.  TYPES OF CIVIL ENGINEERING SPECIALIZATION STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING Structural Engineering is a specialization in civil engineering that focuses on the design, analysis, and construction of structures, ensuring that they can support and resist all types of loads, including dead, live, and environmental loads. Structural engineers are the ones who plan and design structures like buildings, bridges, towers, dams, and tunnels. They aim to provide a high-strength, rigid, and stabilized structure, ensuring its capability to withstand forces and loads that it will face in the long run. STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING CONSTRUCTION ENGINEERING AND MANAGEMENT Construction and Engineering Management, a specialization in civil engineering, is pivotal in translating architectural and engineering designs into reality. This focuses on the practical aspects of building infrastructure, including managing contractors and materials and adhering to codes, budgets, and timelines. Construction managers serve as the connection between the project's designers, the construction team, and the client, ensuring that the project is completed efficiently, safely, and within the budget established at the outset. CONSTRUCTION ENGINEERING AND MANAGEMENT GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING Geotechnical engineering is a specialization in civil engineering that involves the study of the physical and mechanical properties—including the strength, compressibility, and permeability—of rocks, soils, and any artificial elements that support a system. Geotechnical engineers are the ones who investigate the construction site by conducting soil tests, borehole drilling, and sampling in order to assess its properties and workability. They also design foundations, ensuring that the structure being built has a stable base. GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING Transportation engineering is a specialization in civil engineering that focuses on the design, planning, construction, and maintenance of any sort of transportation system, such as roads, railroads, ports, and airports. Transportation engineers also study and design traffic flow and control systems—traffic signals, signage, and lane configurations—in order to optimize safe and smooth flow of people and goods through vehicles and to reduce congestion. TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING  WATER RESOURCES ENGINEERING Water Resources Engineering is an important specialization in civil engineering involving the management and utilization of water resources. It covers the design, planning, and management of water systems that are used for various reasons, including drinking water, flood control, and irrigation. Engineers in this field study the quality, distribution, and movement of water through different channels. They also design and analyze hydraulic systems such as dams, pipes, and open channels, ensuring efficient water management. WATER RESOURCES ENGINEERING  TYPES OF CIVIL ENGINEERING SPECIALIZATION A civil engineering specialization is a focused area or study under the broader field of civil engineering. Each specialization has its own distinct purpose and set of challenges, but they share the same general objective- to design, build, and maintain infrastructures in order to enhance the safety, functionality, and sustainability of the built environment. SELECTION OF A CIVIL ENGINEER  SELECTION OF A CIVIL ENGINEER 1. Qualifications: Formal education, certifications, and specialized expertise. 2.Experience: Track record of successful projects and demonstrable competence. 3.Reputation: Industry standing and recognition for quality work and ethical practices. 4.Client Service: Commitment to clear communication, responsiveness, and meeting client expectations  PRIME PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE  PRIME PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE It refers to the engagement of engineering services through direct and indirect modes of primary practice. Direct Practice -It is the engagement of engineering services where the civil engineer as prime professional works directly with the client- the owner of the project. Indirect Practice -It is where the civil engineer works as sub-consultant through another architect or engineer as prime professional.  PRIME PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE Direct Practice The civil engineer directly communicates with the client to understand and plan their preferences and project goals. The engineer takes full responsibility for the project’s engineering aspects and allows to make decisions autonomously about methodologies used in the project. Indirect Practice The engineer communicates through the primary consultant. The engineer’s role often more focused and specialized compared to direct practice. EMPLOYMENT  EMPLOYMENT involves a wide variety of roles that utilize civil engineers' skills in creating and maintaining essential infrastructure. Civil engineers can be found working in several industries, and each role brings specific responsibilities and challenges. CIVIL ENGINEERS FIND WORK IN VARIOUS SECTORS 1. CONSULTING FIRMS They offer services such as project design, planning, and management to private and public clients. Example: DM Consunji Inc. (DMCI) a leading engineering, construction, and project management company in the Philippines.  CIVIL ENGINEERS FIND WORK IN VARIOUS SECTORS II. GOVERNMENT AGENCIES Engineers work on public infrastructure projects like roads, bridges, and water systems, ensuring safety standards and regulations are followed. Example: Deparment of Public Works and Highways Civil engineers can work on various projects, including road construction, bridge design, and infrastructuremaintenance. CIVIL ENGINEERS FIND WORK IN VARIOUS SECTORS III. CONSTRUCTION FIRMS They manage the building process, ensuring that projects are completed on time, within budget, and to specifications. Example: Ayala Land A leading property developer with a wide range of projects, including residential, commercial, and industrial developments CIVIL ENGINEERS FIND WORK IN VARIOUS SECTORS IV. EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS Civil engineers may teach and conduct research to advance engineering practices. Example: Polytechnic University of the Philippines provides graduate programs in civil engineering with a focus on infrastructure development and management CIVIL ENGINEERS FIND WORK IN VARIOUS SECTORS V. MANUFACTURING/COMMERCIAL FIRMS Engineers design industrial facilities and commercial structures, ensuring their safety and operational efficiency. Example: Automotive Manufactures & Retail Chains - Civil engineers can be involved in designing and constructing manufacturing plants; site layout, infrastructure, and building design of retail store, etc.  DESIGN COMPETITION  DESIGN COMPETITION Design competition is a process through which a Civil Engineer is selected above other competitors based on proposal or an innovative approach to solving a client’s need. Invitation is through: Directly through solicitation Indirectly through a letter of request through publication or newspaper  DESIGN COMPETITION Civil engineers are shortlisted based on their responses to a client's request, which can be communicated directly or through public announcements. The selection is often made by a jury that evaluates the submissions against predefined criteria, which may include technical merit, creativity, and feasibility CONTINGENCY BASIS OF EMPLOYMENT  CONTINGENCY BASIS OF EMPLOYMENT This refers to arrangements where engineers are hired or paid based on the outcome of their work or specific conditions being met, rather than a fixed fee or salary.  CONTINGENCY BASIS OF EMPLOYMENT TYPES OF CONTINGENCY EMPLOYMENT Contract Worker - someone who is hired for specific projects with defined timelines and deliverables. Consultants - are those experts which were brought in for specialized knowledge on particular aspects of a project. Temporary Staff - pertains to people who fill a position for a short period of time to address short-term work, peak demands, and skill shortages.  CONTINGENCY BASIS OF EMPLOYMENT ADVANTAGES CHALLENGES Flexibility for Firms Job Security Concerns Cost Efficiency Limited Benefits Access to Specialized Skills Integration Issues Scalability Quality and Consistency  CONTINGENCY BASIS OF EMPLOYMENT Canon 5c of the PICE Code of Ethics provides that “Engineers may request, propose or accept professional commissions on a contingency basis only under circumstances in which their professional judgments would not be compromised”. Although contingent commission are permissible, it is the general view of PICE that it is not in the best interest of the client or the public for the Civil Engineer to provide professional services on a contingency basis. PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE OF FOREIGN CIVIL ENGINEERS  PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE OF FOREIGN CIVIL ENGINEERS RA 8981 ALLOWS FOREIGN ENGINEERS TO PRACTICE IN THE PHILIPPINES BY THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS: 1. Laws of the foreign country also allow Filipino civil engineers to practice their profession on the foreign soil. 2. Allowed under international agreement. 3.
