Here is the overview of how the test is being conducted as per Resolution No. 02 Series of 1995 of the
Board of Civil Engineering:
Qualifications
Terms of Office
The members of the Board shall hold office for a term of three years after appointment or until
their successors shall have been appointed and shall have qualified.
As a civil engineer, engineers are expected to exhibit the highest standards of honesty and integrity.
We play a vital role in Sustainable Development. Civil Engineers has the responsibility to ethically
combine all the disciplines interests and produce a perfect design. Civil engineers should do their best
to improve welfare, health and safety of the people. Engineers has the full responsibility for their own
work. A responsibility to advance the infrastructures of our society in a way that not only meets the
demand needs, but also meets those needs in a way that is both environmentally and socially
responsible.
6. Professional Practice for Civil Engineers
As a faithful trustee to the public interest and private interest of clients, civil engineers have the
following responsibilities:
Civil engineers shall conduct themselves in a highly professional manner and faithfully serve
their clients and employers.
Civil engineers are bound by the Canon Laws.
Sustainable development is the top priority in professional engagement.
The highest standard of Ethical Professional Practice should be maintained when civil engineers
are dealing with employers or clients
Construction Engineering
Construction engineering is a type of civil engineering service that involves planning, constructing, and
maintaining structures. It is the implementation of the designs made by other engineers according to
the exact specifications given by clients.
Structural Engineering
Geotechnical engineering or geotechnics is the branch of civil engineering concerned with the
engineering behaviors of earth materials.
It utilizes the basic principles of soil and rock mechanics for solving its respective engineering problems.
It also relies on knowledge learned from geology, hydrology, geophysics, and other related sciences.
Transportation Engineering
Transportation engineers have to provide engineering services related to improving the transportation
facilities of an organization. Therefore, the transportation engineering department has to operate with
departments responsible for planning, construction, and transportation facilities.
Surveying
The surveying department provides engineering services involving surveying and leveling land by
utilizing various instruments to map and shape the terrain. The primary aim of surveying is to locate and
measure property lines, lay out buildings, bridges, channels, highways, and pipelines for construction.
The primary move for a client in selecting an engineer is to define the scope of works in a project. The
client determines performance requirements. The following are factors in the selection process for the
private sector:
A civil engineer is often engaged to make a study and to render a planning report on the
contemplated project including alternative solutions, layouts, and locations along with initial estimates
of the probable project cost. This may involve alternative or phase implementation schemes which add
flexibility to the project.
Is the estimated total cost of constructing the facility to be covered by the proposed detailed
design or construction supervision services, excluding the fees and other costs of such services, the cost
of land and right of way, and legal administrative expenses of the agency.
