3 Civil & Environmental Engineering: The Past, The Present, The Future, Technical Specialties, and Careers (adapted in part from the American Society of Engineers, CIVIL ENGINEERING: AN EXCITING CAREER WITH AN INCREDIBLE HISTORY AND A TREMENDOUS FUTURE From the pyramids of Egypt to the exploration of space, civil engineers have always faced the challenges of the future - advancing civilization and building our quality of life. Today, the world is undergoing vast changes - the technological revolution, population growth, environmental concerns, and more. All create unique challenges for civil engineers. The next decades will be the most creative, demanding, and rewarding times for civil engineers. Making a Mark on the World Throughout history, civil engineers have designed and built facilities that have advanced civilization and have provided for a higher standard of living. The Pyramids of Egypt- a symbol of ancient engineering. The Glories of Ancient Rome the Coliseum, great aqueducts, and great roads for trade. The Symbol of London - the majestic Tower Bridge spanning the River Thames. The Panama Canal - to shorten the voyage between New York and California. The Hoover Dam - for water conservation, power production, flood control, recreation, and fish and wildlife enhancement on the Colorado River. Crossing San Francisco Bay - the Golden Gate Bridge. Civil Engineering: The Present Today, civil engineers are in the forefront of technology. They are the leading users of sophisticated high-tech products - applying the very latest concepts in computer-aided design (CAD) during design, construction, project scheduling, and cost control. Civil engineering is about community service, development, and improvement. It involves the conception, planning, design, construction, and operation of facilities essential to modern life, ranging from transit systems to offshore structures to space satellites. Civil engineers are problem solvers, meeting the challenges of pollution, traffic congestion, drinking water and energy needs, urban redevelopment, and community planning. A Showcase of Excellence The Channel Tunnel - One of the most current and exciting civil engineering feats has linked Britain and France for the first time in 8,000 years. The Channel Tunnel (or "Chunnel") is among the largest engineering projects in history and the longest undersea tunnel ever built. High-speed trains are now crossing the English Channel on a regular schedule. Very Tall Buildings - There has been an on going effort to create the tallest building in the world. The Chrysler Building dominated New York's skyline for years until the opening of the Empire State Building which was soon surpassed by the World Trade Towers, the Sears Building in Chicago, and most recently the Petronas Towers in Malaysia. High Speed Trains - Sleek, silvery bullet trains reach speeds near 300 mph in Japan and Europe. Today, more and more sophisticated rail lines are being proposed to solve transportation needs around the world. Harbor Rescue - The quality of our environment has always been a high priority of civil engineers. One of the many "green" projects today is the Deer Island Wastewater Treatment Plant, the multi-billion dollar cleanup effort of the Boston Harbor. The project used state-of-the-art design and included the boring of a 16-kilometer outfall tunnel beneath the ocean.

4 Freedom Update - The technology of living in space is continually refined with the developments of the space station Freedom. Its many advanced features put this project in the forefront of worldwide engineering. These are just a few examples which illustrate civil engineering as a lively and innovative profession. One of the greatest rewards of civil engineering is to see your own enduring creation helping to improve the quality of life. Civil Engineering: Technical Specialties Environmental and Water Resources Engineering Geotechnical Engineering Structural Engineering Transportation Engineering Environmental and Water Resources Engineering - The skills of environmental engineers are becoming increasingly important as we attempt to protect the fragile resources of our planet. Environmental engineers translate physical, chemical, and biological processes into systems to destroy toxic substances, remove pollutants from water, reduce non-hazardous solid waste volumes, eliminate contaminants from the air, and develop groundwater supplies. In this field, you might be called upon to resolve problems of providing safe drinking water, cleaning up sites contaminated with hazardous materials, cleaning up and preventing air pollution, treating wastewater, and managing solid wastes. As a water resources engineer, you might be involved in the design, construction, or maintenance of hydroelectric power facilities, canals, dams, pipelines, pumping stations, locks, or seaport facilities. Geotechnical Engineering - Almost all of the facilities that make up our infrastructure are in, on, or with earth materials, and geotechnical engineering is the discipline that deals with applications of technology to solve these problems. Examples of facilities in the earth are tunnels, deep foundations, and pipelines. Highway pavements and many buildings are supported on the earth. And earth dams, levees, embankments, and slopes are constructed with the earth. In addition, many soil-like waste materials are deposited in containment areas. To design these facilities, geotechnical engineers must conduct analyses based on the principles of mechanics and mathematics. These analyses require input data to quantify the properties of the earth materials, and this information is usually obtained from laboratory or field tests. Structural Engineering - As a structural engineer, you will face the challenge of analyzing and designing structures to ensure that they safely perform their purpose. They must support their own weight and resist dynamic environmental loads such as hurricanes, earthquakes, blizzards, floods, and even terrorist explosions. Stadiums, arenas, skyscrapers, offshore oil structures, space platforms, amusement park rides, bridges, office buildings, and homes are a few of the many types of projects in which structural engineers are involved. You will develop and utilize knowledge of the properties and behaviors of steel, concrete, aluminum, timber, and plastic as well as new and exotic materials. To make certain that the plans are being followed, you will often be on the construction site inspecting and verifying the work. Transportation Engineering - Because the quality of a community is directly related to the quality of its transportation system, your function as a transportation engineer will be to move people, goods, and materials safely and efficiently. Your challenge will be to find ways to meet the increasing travel needs on land, air and sea. You will design, construct, and maintain all types of facilities, including highways, railroads, airfields, and ports. An important part of transportation engineering is to upgrade our transportation capability by improving traffic control and mass transit systems, and by introducing high-speed trains, people movers, and other new transportation methods. Civil Engineering Careers In considering any of these technical specialties, you may decide to teach in an accredited program or to participate in research to improve basic knowledge. In choosing a career in education or research, you will need to earn advanced degrees. Beginning as an assistant professor, your experience may lead you to become a professor, department head, or university administrator. You may teach both graduate and undergraduate students. As your reputation grows, you may be in demand to serve on technical boards and commissions associated with major engineering projects. You may also decide to pursue a career in the area of engineering management. This may involve overseeing the completion of projects costing billions of dollars, requiring both technical and business related skills. Management requires a technical education combined with an ability to coordinate personnel, materials, equipment, and money. Civil engineers may be found through the workplace in a variety of functions. Aside from traditional engineering Last updated: 6/28/13

6 Earn While You Learn There are many sources of financial aid available to civil engineering and technology students. You may opt for cooperative education and work-study programs, which allow you to earn tuition by attending classes for a portion of the year, then work in an engineering-related job for the remainder of the year. "Co-op" students generally take five years or more to complete their engineering degrees. You can also pay for tuition with: part-time employment and summer jobs; scholarships and grants; loans; ROTC-sponsored programs; or other special programs. There is also an undergraduate honors program (that provides up to 3 credit hours for working on a research project, 6 hours of graduate credit and pays approx. $1000/semester. Your best source of information is the financial aid officer at the school you plan to attend. Geotech Lab Research Undergraduate Research Poster Presentation at the State Capitol Thermal Imaging of the Columns Transportation Research Beyond the Bachelor's Degree More than one-third of civil engineering graduates today go on to earn a master's degree. Most full-time graduate students are supported as Teaching or Research Assistants. Some pursue graduate studies part-time while working full-time. More and more civil engineers are continuing on to the doctorate degree, usually to prepare for careers in research or teaching, and to solve more sophisticated design problems. Obtaining a master's degree or Ph. D. will greatly help you become an expert in your chosen field. In civil engineering, as in any profession, your education never ends; old knowledge is continually supplemented by new knowledge. To keep up with the changes, you may pursue continuing education programs made available by universities and by professional societies, such as the American Society of Civil Engineers. The Fundamentals of Engineering Examination: Your First Step to Professional Licensure As a civil engineering professional, you will be directly responsible for public safety and welfare. Your buildings must perform according to their specifications. Your highways must carry traffic safely. Your dams cannot fail. In other words, your work reflects your experience, and must conform with accepted principles and practices of civil engineering. To become a licensed civil engineer (professional engineer), you must complete the requirements for professional licensure established by the state or territories in which you plan to practice. This requires a combination of education, experience, and the successful completion of at least two exams. Each individual state and/or territory maintains updated information regarding specific licensing requirements. Your First Job: Gaining Valuable Experience In your first job, you will likely be teamed with a senior engineer. You will be guided through a variety of assignments, depending on the civil engineering specialty area you pursue. Later, job responsibility will increase with your continuing education and experience. This allows you to build your problem-solving skills and your selfconfidence. Set the Pace for the Future by Becoming a Civil Engineer The world of tomorrow will look to you to help clean the air, improve our cities and transportation systems, purify our water, and provide many solutions that are vital to life. With the skills you learn, you can be among the leaders shaping our 21st century. Last updated: 6/28/13

7 Undergraduate Research Program The College of Engineering Undergraduate Research Program can give you a $1,000 for each semester to conduct undergraduate research under the supervision of a faculty advisor. Generally undergraduate researchers start during their sophomore or junior year. That s getting an early start on research, which will not only look good on your resume (you were all thinking it), but will give you first hand experiences with research faculty and graduate students. Besides being future references, they ll give you valuable work experience as you begin your career - early. What other benefits does the Undergraduate Research Program have for you? If you elect to participate in the Engineering Honors Program as well, you ll be able to shorten your graduate career by counting up to six hours of undergraduate research towards graduate credit. You ll also have developed expertise that can help you start immediately on a graduate-level research project when you go to grad school and you can use your work experience as the basis for an Honor s thesis. Then there s the Bachelor of diploma with the Honors Scholar designation that you ll receive upon graduation. Requirements $1,000 stipend per semester to do undergraduate research. This is not a scholarship, so it has no impact on your eligibility for College of Engineering scholarships! Exposure to research early on in your academic career First-hand experience with research faculty and graduate students If enrolled with the Honors Program, up to six undergrad research hours can count as graduate credit Graduating with Honors Scholar designation You must maintain a 3.0 overall GPA Forms On the application form, you must have a signature from a faculty mentor along with signatures indicating financial support from the home department or mentor. Download the New Application Form (DOC) Download the Renewal Application (DOC) Other important notes There is no automatic academic credit from this program. To receive academic credit, you must register for credit hours in CV_ENG 4995 (Honors Research). You must do an average of 10 hours of work per week in a research or laboratory setting to qualify for the stipend. You ll be encouraged to jointly enroll in graduate school during last 15 hours of your BS degree, so that any additional course work you take as an undergraduate (and not required for your degree) can be used for graduate credit. If you participate in the Undergraduate Research Program, you ll be considered an employee of the university. You must see your department administrator to complete all necessary employment documentation before you begin work for your faculty mentor. Adapted from: Last updated: 6/28/13

8 How to Succeed in Engineering During Your First Semester The transition from high school to college can be difficult if a student is not prepared for the responsibilities and expectations placed on college students. You are responsible for your success or failure. Please consider the following to help you make your first semester a success. 1. Attend every lecture, lab, recitation, and discussion group meeting for your classes. If you must miss a session due to illness find a way to catch up with the material and the work. 2. Work two hours outside of class for every credit-hour. Complete and submit all homework on time. Read and understand everything your instructor assigns. 3. Your full-time job for the 16 weeks of your first semester is to be a successful student. This will require about 45 hours per week. During the semester you will receive a one week vacation, and, when it ends, you will have a four week vacation. That is not a bad deal. 4. Even though you will be working 45 hours per week on school work, you will still have time for many enjoyable recreational and social activities. Find ones you value. 5. If your grades after your first semester are lower than you desire, then find a way to work more efficiently (e.g. better study location, better study time, etc). If your grades are too high then you may choose to work less (please smile, that was a joke). 6. There are definite benefits to this approach. Students who study more earn significantly higher salaries in later years. The better you are as an engineer, the better and more interesting will be the projects you undertake in your career.

10 The following information correlates to the Plan of Study: SBS/HFA: All engineering students must take nine-credit hours in each of two areas: (1) avioral (SBS) and (2) Humanities/Fine Arts (HFA). One course must be upper level course 2000/3000/4000). One course in SBS must also be either History or U.S. Govt. Students may choose from: History 1100, 1200, 1400, 2210, 2440, 4000, 4220, 4230 or Poli Sci 1100 or There must be at least two departments represented in each of the nine-hour blocks. Engineering students may elect to fulfill the humanities and fine arts (HFA) requirement by satisfying at least 12 hours in a single foreign language (achieving proficiency). The language option fulfills the upper level course requirements and exempts the student from having two departments represented in that block. Consult with language department to determine if completion of an upper level course can lead to transcripted hours for lower level courses not needed. The list of accepted SBS & HFA courses can be found at: generaleducation.missouri.edu.
