CONSTRUCTION ENGINEERING

RESOURCE SPEAKER: ENGR. RENATO DG. FAUSTINO

Construction Engineering brings the paperwork design
to reality. Time, Cost and Quality are tangible
parameters of construction engineering. Construction
Engineer ensures the implementation of design and
specifications at site.
What does a Construction
Engineer do?
Construction engineers’ responsibility is to
confirm availability of material,
equipment, and labor, identify any constraint and
hazard, scope and trend,
economical and safety aspect of a project.

He schedules the cost and duration of a project

and manages the execution throughout
completion.

STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING

RESOURCE SPEAKER: ENGR. ROMUALDO S. CALUAG

Structural engineering is the field of engineering particularly
concerned
with the design of load-bearing structures.

It analyze and design the structure, that could resist

applied loads. These loads may include forces and stresses
due to gravity loads as well as lateral forces.
What does a Structural
Engineer do?
Structural Engineer works out material and sizes
required for a
particular structure that could make it durable,
sustainable and
constructible.

TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING
RESOURCE SPEAKER: ENGR. CECILIA A. GERONIMO
Transportation engineering deals with planning and designing of infrastructure
that could help in safe, efficient and quality movement from one place to
another. Transportation Engineering is itself a broad term.

It includes Highway Design

Engineering, Bridges, and Tunnels, Railways, Airports and Airways,
Waterways,
Canals, and Pipelines.

Subfields of Transportation Engineering:

-Highway engineering
-Traffic engineering
What does a
Transportation Engineer
do?
Transportation engineers are involved in the total
transportation system, including the planning,
design, implementation, administration,
management, and performance evaluation.

WATER RESOURCE ENGINEERING
RESOURCE SPEAKER: ENGR. FLORENCE T. SAMONTE
 Water Resources & Hydraulics Engineering is the study of fluid
mechanics, hydraulics and water resource management. Water
Resource Engineer study the natural cycle of water and work out
methods to use it efficiently.

They observe all the natural water reservoir and ways to preserve
them. They design facilities for
supply of water to localities. They also design irrigation water supply
system.
What does a Water
Resource Engineer do?
Engineers in this field design system for flood
control, harbor and river
development and water quantity management.

It also includes hydrology, which

encompasses the occurrence, distribution,
movement and properties of the waters of the
Earth and their environmental relationships.

ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING
RESOURCE SPEAKER: ENGR. FLORENCE T. SAMONTE
Environmental engineering is the branch of civil engineering that
deals with the environmental feasibility of a project.

It concerns with the treatment of water, solid waste, chemical and

industrial effluent that may pollute the environment. It focuses on
the improvement of environment to provide clean water, air and
land for human habitation.
What does an
Environmental Engineer
do?
Environmental engineers design systems for water
quality and treatment,
wastewater treatment, hazardous waste management
and treatment and control
of air pollutants.

They aim to provide safe drinking water, pollution

free environment, recycling of water and waste
material and renewable energy
generation.

GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING
RESOURCE SPEAKER: ENGR. ACE DHENNIEL V. DARIA
 Geotechnical engineering concern with the properties of soil and rocks on
which the foundation of any structure have to be laid down.

Soil engineering experimentally workout soil types, bearing capacity,

penetration tests, moisture content and shear capacities. On the basis of these
result, the foundation of a
structure is designed at site.
What does a Geotechnical
Engineer do?
Geotechnical Engineers are concerned with design and
construction of structures built on or below the ground
surface and the physical characteristics of soil and
rocks or composite material.

They design the foundations of bridges and buildings,

design of tunnels and dams, and the analysis of
geological factors affecting all
structures.
