Civil Engineering "Civil engineering is the profession in which a knowledge of the mathematical and physical sciences gained by study, experience, and practice is applied with judgment to develop ways to utilize, economically, the materials and forces of nature for the progressive well-being of humanity in creating, improving, and protecting the environment, in providing facilities for community living, industry and transportation, and in providing structures for the use of humanity.” - American Society of Civil Engineers, 1961 Application of Math and Science as Services for Humanity

Lower Division Courses CE 11 – Engineered Systems & Sustainability o Basic principles of environmental science needed to understand natural processes as they are influenced by human activities CE 60 – Civil Engineering Materials o =Engr 45 + Lots of Concrete o Introduction to structure and properties of civil engineering materials such as asphalt, cements, concrete, geological materials (e.g. soil and rocks), steel, polymers, and wood CE 70 – Engineering Geology o Principles of physical and structural geology; the influence of geological factors on engineering works and the environment. o Field Trip to local points of geological interest

Lower Division Courses CE 93 – Engineering Data Analysis o Application of the concepts and methods of probability theory and statistical inference to CEE problems and data; applications to various CEE problems and real data will be developed by use of MATLAB and existing codes o Pay attention in Engr 25. MATLAB will come up a lot!!! Transition to Upper Division is tough More intense and in depth material Much more time devoted to study More need for independence Attend Office Hours!!!

Upper Division Courses ME 104– Engineering Mechanics II - Dynamics o Introduction to the dynamics of particles and rigid bodies. o Foundation for Automotive Engineering and Aeronautical Engineering o You will learn the basics of Rocket Science!!

Upper Division Courses CE 130– Mechanics of Materials o Introduction to the mechanics of deformable solids; elastic and ultimate resistance of materials; stress and deformation analysis o Builds on Engr 25 (Statics) and Engr 45 (Materials Engineering) o How and why objects deform and/or fail

Outside of Class Engineer-In-Training Examination o First step towards becoming a Professional Engineer o Usually taken junior/senior year o Review of basic engineering knowledge o Practically a necessity for a Civil Engineer GRE, Graduate Records Examination o SAT for Graduate School o Required if you want to go to graduate school (Masters, PhD)

Student Organizations American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) o Concrete Canoe o Steel Bridge o Career Fair: Many companies come to campus to recruit interns and new grads o Company Info Sessions

Student Organizations Chi Epsilon, National Civil Engineering Honor Society o Conception, Design, and Construction o Scholarship, Practicality, Character, Sociability o Social and Academic Events

Internships Provides practical experience See how the class work applies to the real world I have worked for the City of Palo Alto o Utilities Engineering – Water, Gas, Wastewater o Use AutoCAD to map underground utilities as well as do surveying in the field

The End… Any Questions???
