LICQual Level 7 International Diploma in Civil Technology Course in Islamabad
Civil technology is the field of drafting, cartography, traffic technology and the analysis of construction
materials to support construction, engineering, and architecture for roads, bridges and other public
structures.
Among all the marvels of human achievement, there is the work of a civil engineer, which includes
building soaring skyscrapers and epic bridges, but also monuments to human history, as well as roads,
highways, and airports.
Civil engineers have their hands in every aspect of the built human environment. It is a thrilling, creative,
and growing engineering discipline, widely considered the second oldest, next to military engineering.
What Is Civil Engineering
Civil engineers work in both the public and private sectors. That includes municipal, state, and national
governments, as well as for private homeowners and multinational corporations. They work in the built
environment but also in the natural world. Wherever there are humans, there are civil engineers.
Civil engineers plan projects, choose and evaluate construction material, and prepare cost estimates.
They use design software and oversee surveying teams. Civil engineers may manage entire cities,
ensuring water and electricity, as well as roads and bridges, are safe and reliable.
These are just a few of the many common responsibilities in this exciting and ever-changing career.
What Does Civil Engineering Technology Refer To?
Civil engineering technology, as a field, is a sort of combination of two related fields: civil engineering
and engineering technology. Civil engineering technicians (or technologists) focus on using technology to
assist civil engineers, both in the office and at job sites. They use computer programs to design
engineering plans and drawings, visit project sites to check and maintain equipment, and use statistics
to write reports for management review.
What Does a Civil Engineering Technician Do?
For instance, after a civil engineer chooses a site for an electrical substation, a civil engineering
technician may take soil measurements and evaluate the surveying data. Then, after the engineer
recommends construction materials and systems, the civil engineering technician will conduct a
structural analysis to ensure that the specific components are appropriate based on the mechanical
requirements and cost restrictions of the construction project.
What Technology Is Used in Civil Engineering?
Civil engineering is reliant on technology in all of its phases. During design, civil engineering technicians
use computer-aided design to prepare and analyze engineering plans. During preparation, civil
engineering technicians use technological tools to measure the characteristics of the land and materials.
And during construction, an engineering technician may act as an inspector, monitoring the construction
site to ensure that the actual project matches the design parameters.
What Skills Do Civil Engineering Technicians Need?
Civil engineering technicians must be interested in both hands-on and computer-based problem-solving.
They must have a strong math and science background and must be able to engage in critical
thinking. Civil engineering technicians must also have a strong knowledge of both public and industry
requirements and best practices. Finally, engineering technicians must be comfortable using a wide.
variety of civil engineering technology equipment.
What Is a Career in Civil Engineering Technology Like?
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor and Statistics, professional civil engineering technicians make a
decent salary: about $54,000 per year on average, though this gets higher with more experience. They
work both in offices (doing design and analysis) and in the field (helping to manage construction
projects). There are relatively few jobs in civil engineering technology, but this figure is growing faster
than in the larger field of civil engineering.
Civil engineering may be divided into some following fields:
1. Surveying
2. Building materials
3. Construction technology
4. Structural Engineering
5. Geo technology
6. Hydraulics
7. Water Resources and Irrigation Engineering
8. Transportation Engineering
9. Environmental Engineering
10. Town planning
Surveying:
Surveying is the science of map making. To start any development activity in an area the relative
positions of various objects in the horizontal and vertical directions and required. this is approved be
surveying the area. Earlier, the conventional instruments like chain, tape and leveling instruments were
used. In this electronic era, modern equipment like distance meters and total stations are used to get
more accurate results easily. The modern technologies like photogrammetry and remote sensing have
made surveying easier.
Building materials:
Shelter is the basic need of civilization. To get good shelter continuous efforts are going on right from
the beginning of civilization. Stones, bricks, timber, lime, cement, sand, jellies and tiles are the
traditional building materials. Use of steel, aluminum, glass, glazed tiles, plaster of Paris, paints and
varnishes have improved the quality of buildings. The appropriate mixture of binding materials like lime
and cement with sand is known mortar
Construction technology:
Construction is the major activity of civil engineering which is continuously improving. As land cost is
going up there is demand for tall structures in urban area while in rural areas need is for low cast
construction. One has to develop technology using locally available materials in Pakistan
Structural Engineering:
Load acting on a structure is ultimately transferred to ground. In doing so various components of the
structure are subjected to internal stresses. For example, in building load acting on a slab is transferred
by slab to ground through beam, columns and footling. Assessing the internal stresses in the
components of a structure is known as structural analysis and finding the suitable size of the structural
component is known as design of structure.
Geo technology:
Soil property changes from place to place. Even in the same place it may not be uniform at various
depths. The soil property may vary from season to season due to variation in moisture content. The load
from the structure is to be safely transferred to soil.
Hydraulics:
Water is an important need for all living being. Study of mechanic of water and its flow characteristics is
another important field in civil Engineering and it is known as hydraulics.
Water Resources and Irrigation Engineering:
Water is to be supplied to agriculture field and for drinking purposes. Hence suitable water resources
are to be identified and water is to be stored. Identifying, planning and building water retaining
structures like tanks and dam and carrying stored water to field is known as water resources and
irrigation engineering.
Transportation Engineering:
Transportation facility is another important need. Providing good and economical road is an important
duty of civil engineers. It involves design of base courses
Environmental Engineering:
Proper distribution of water to rural areas, towns and cities and disposal of waste water and solid waste
is anther field of civil engineering.
Town planning:
Aesthetically good structures required. Towns and cities are to be planned properly. This field of
engineering has grown considerably and has become a course separate from Civil Engineering.
