Career in civil engineer

  Careers

The education and careers of our students are our Raisonsed entre. The faculty, staff, 

and university administration would not be here were it not for the students. It is 

self-understood that after providing them with a superb education, we also assist 

them with career counseling and job placement. This is one of the major advantages

 we have as a small department in a small engineering school. We can afford to pay

 individual attention to our students after graduation.

The Greater New York Area has more job opportunities to offer to civil engineers than

 any other city in the country. Our faculty maintains close relationships with the local

 industry. Many of our adjunct faculty are practicing engineers from the area and hold

 leadership positions. We have an Industry Advisory Committee that consists of industry

 leaders and meets regularly to advise us on educational and professional matters. Then

                   there are many close ties to our alumni as well to industry and local professional organizations that facilitate the job placement of our graduates.

               

Future or career in civil life

                                 Career as Civil Engineer

 Civil Engineering is the oldest branch of engineering and incorporates the design and construction of roads, airports, tunnels, bridges, water supply and sewage systems, dams, harbours, railroad systems, docks, power supply systems, buildings and even nuclear power plants etc.
   
 Civil Engineering has several specialties.
                                   
Civil engineers work as construction engineers, transportation engineers, hydraulic and irrigation engineers, Geotechnical engineers,
   environmental engineers, public works engineers.

                                           job profile

- Civil engineers have to work in the office and at the site. Contracting engineers as well as consulting civil          engineers have to work on several sites at the some time

-They are also required to deal with critical problems such as disaster mitigation and management

- Structural  engineers design oil rigs, multi-storied car parks or office blocks to ensure that the structural
    framework of the building is strong enough to take the load for which the structure is meant. It is also               designed to withstand heat, cold and tremors. They develop non conventional construction materials and          techniques, e.g., special bridge structures,building framework etc.

-Water management engineers specialize in water supply, sewerage systems and pollution control Highway
 engineers are involved in assessing, planning rebuilding road networks, one way systems, traffic lights, lanes,   parking spaces etc.

-Highway engineers are concerned with road building and traffic management

diploma in engineering

The Diploma in Engineering Diploma in Technical Studies is a technical degree below the undergraduate rank which aims to provide students with some basic knowledge of engineering, scientific, computing, mathematical techniques, a sound knowledge of English to communicate in the job field and ability to apply the basic problem solving techniques. Its duration is 3–4 years. Many countries in the world recognize it as equivalent to Inter-Science or Pre-Engineering for further studies purpose. After successful completion of Diploma in Engineering course, students can either continue further Engineering studies in undergraduate level or get employment as supervisors, foremen, sales engineers, workshop technicians, graughtsman, service station managers, auto engineers, agricultural overseers, farm managers, junior instructors, workshop superintendents etc. In most of the countries one can apply for studying diploma in engineering degree after completion of 10th grade or the secondary school certificate.

Some basic knowledge about civil survey

Definition of surveying

Surveying Surveying is the technique of determining the relative position of different features on, above or beneath the surface of the earth by means of direct or indirect measurements and finally representing. them on a sheet of paper known as plan.  position of int       Surveying is the science and art of making all essential measurements to determine the relative position of   physical and cultural details above, on, or beneath the surface of the Earth, and to depict them in a usable form, or to establish the position of points or details.re usually on the surface of the Earth, and they are often used to es
   

  Importance of surveying   

The knowledge of surveying is advantageous in many phase of engineering. Surveying is of vital importance in any engineering project. Some of the basic importance of Surveying is discussed below.The first necessity in surveying is to prepare a plan and a section of area to be covered by project. From these prepared maps and sections the best possible alignment, amount of earth work and other necessary details depending upon the nature of the project can be calculated.

    The planning and design of all civil engineering projects such as railways, highways, tunneling, irrigation, dams, reservoirs, water works, sewerage works, airfields, ports, massive buildings, etc. are based upon surveying measurements.
    During execution of project of any magnitude is constructed along the lines and points established by surveying.
    The measurement of land and the fixation of its boundaries cannot be done without surveying.
    The economic feasibility of the engineering feasibility of a project cannot be properly ascertained without undertaking a survey work.
    The execution of hydro-graphic and oceanographic charting and mapping requires.
    Surveying is used to prepare topographic map of land surface of the earth.
