10. Personal Background

13.  Build on, in and with Soil  Investigate the Soil  Meet with Structural Engineer  Plan and Conduct Soil Borings  Create Soil Profile  Identify the Problem  Analyze Alternatives  Design a Solution

23.  Moving People and Goods through Air, Water and Land ◦ Highways ◦ Trains ◦ Tunnels ◦ Rails ◦ Bicycles ◦ Boats ◦ Planes

24.  LOS A ◦ Free-flow operation  LOS B ◦ Reasonably free flow ◦ Ability to maneuver is only slightly restricted ◦ Effects of minor incidents still easily absorbed From Highway Capacity Manual, 2000

25.  LOS E ◦ Operation near or at capacity ◦ No usable gaps in the traffic stream ◦ Operations extremely volatile ◦ Any disruption causes queuing  LOS F ◦ Breakdown in flow ◦ Queues form behind breakdown points ◦ Demand > capacity From Highway Capacity Manual, 2000

41. Personal Background

50. You have two options at Florida Tech

51. 1. Civil Engineering option ◦ Mostly science & engineering subjects ◦ Primary education is for design ◦ Leads to Professional Engineering license ◦ Requires some job training for construction 2. Construction Management option ◦ Engineering basics & management subjects ◦ Primary education for construction mgt ◦ No qualification for design or PE ◦ Leads to General Contractor license ◦ No job training needed for construction

52.  Civil Engineering option ◦ Mostly engineering subjects ◦ Math & Science heavy ◦ Primary focus is for design ◦ Leads to Professional Engineering license  Construction Management option ◦ Engineering basics & management subjects ◦ Basic science + Business & Management ◦ Primary focus is for management ◦ Leads to General Contractor license
