A SHORT ESSAY OF CIVIL ENGINEERING BY : ALFATIHATU RAHMI CIVIL ENGINEERING ENGINEERING FACULTY ANDALAS UNIVERSITY PADANG
Definition of Civil Engineering : Civil Engineering is one of branch of engineering that studies how to design, build, renovate buildings and infrastructure and cover the environment for human well-being. In Civil Engineering, students are accustomed for working groups, either through practicum or major tasks. Because basically a great engineer must be in a great group.
Different between Civil Engineering and Architect : In some circles, they think that civil is the same as an architect. In fact, it is very different. The difference lies in the position of civil engineers in a project. Architects donate designs, ideas, and possibilities of implementing development on paper. The draft results are submitted to the civil engineering expert for development implementation. This stage, civil engineers make improvements / suggestions from the implementation of planning, coordination in the project, observing the course of the project to fit the planning. In addition, civil engineers also develop financial concepts and project management on matters that affect the holding of the project.
Description of Civil Engineering : Civil engineers not only deal with the construction of a building project, but in other fields such as those relating to informatics, it is possible to model a form with the help of CAD programs, modeling earthquake damage, flooding. This is particularly important in develop countries as a benchmark for the feasibility of building a vital building which has the risk of causing many human victims such as nuclear reactors or dams, in the event of a failure of technical planning. The design of the building is usually modeled in computers with given the threat factors such as earthquake building and material structure collapse. The role of civil engineers is still valid even though the construction phase of a building has been completed, as it lies in the maintenance of the building's facilities.
A great engineer is belong to great group.
