  • Scales Types of Scales Civil Engineering Scale
    Scales • The purpose of scales is to allow an engineer, architect, technician or contractor to determine scaled measurements from drawings or maps very quickly and easily. • Drawings and maps are drawn to different scales such as: 1” = 100’, 1” = 1’-0” or 1:2 (half size). Types of Scales Civil Engineering Scale 1 Architect’s Scale Metric Scale 2 Civil Engineer’s Scale • Full Divided Scale • 1” is divided into equal decimal units of 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 and 80 divisions. • For example, 1” = 100’ is a typical scale used for Civil Engineering Drawings. This means that 1” on the drawing represents 100’ in the real world. Scale & Size • 10 scale represents full size in decimal inches. 1” on paper represents 1” in real life. Hence the name “full size”. • 20 scale represents half scale where 1” on a drawing represents 2” in real life. • 40 scale represents quarter size where 1” on a drawing represents 4” in real life. 3 Applications • Civil Engineers typically design large things such as, bridges, roads, buildings, shopping centers etc. Therefore typical scales used include: 1” = 100’ for plan views of highway designs and 1” = 5’ vertical and 1” = 100’ horizontal for profile views. Section views are typically 1” = 5’ vertical and 1” = 10’ horizontal. Other Applications • Sometimes scales are used to compute quantities based on a graphical analysis. When this is the case units of measurement other than length are often used. Examples include: • 1” = 10 kips, 1” = 2000 volts, 1” = 50 buses, 1” = 20 GHz and 1” = 40 people. • Always remember that your answer will be recorded in a decimal format for the CE scale.

  • An Estimable Resource in the Actual Crisis of Civil Engineering?
    Proceedings of the First International Congress on Construction History, Madrid, 20th-24th January 2003, ed. S. Huerta, Madrid: I. Juan de Herrera, SEdHC, ETSAM, A. E. Benvenuto, COAM, F. Dragados, 2003. History of construction: An estimable resource in the actual crisis of civil engineering? Wemer Lorenz RISE AND DECLINE -A FIVE-MINUTE HISTORY OF THE CIVIL ENGINEER In the year 1762, the librarian of the Roman cardinal Albani, Johann Joachim Winckelmann, born in the North German town of Stendal, published a pamphlet titled «Anmerkungen über die Baukunst der alten Tempel zu Girgenti in Sizilien» (Remarks on the Architecture of the 01d Temples at Girgenti in Sicily) (Winckelmann 1762). In no time, this publication became the manifesto of the young neo-c1assicist movement in Europe. Evaluating his own systematic research of antique architecture, Winckelmann ca11s it the most appropriate model for any form of architecture, inc1uding contemporary. He distinguishes c1early between the «Wesentliche» (essential) and the «ZierJichkeit in der Baukunst» (daintiness of architecture). The c1ear distinction signifies an abrupt turning away from the previous baroque perception of architecture. The concept of the «essential» introduces construction as a defining parameter into architectural theory. According to Winckelmann architecture results primarily from constructive considerations. Noteworthy also is the context of his publication. Only a few years prior, in an Italian publication from 1748, one can find the term «inginiero civile» and in 1768, the term civil engineer is used for the first time in England, where the first «Society of Civil Engineers of the Kingdom» is founded in 1771. The Figure 1 civil engineer is born.

  • Electrical and Computer Engineering: Past, Present, and Future
    Electrical and Computer Engineering: Past, Present, and Future Randy Berry1, chair, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering The field of electrical and computer engineering (ECE) has had an enormously successful history. This field has pushed the frontiers of fundamental research, led to the emergence of entirely new disciplines, and revolutionized our daily lives. ECE departments2 are found in nearly every engineering school and have historically been one of the larger departments both in terms of faculty and student enrollments. Academically, a strong ECE department is highly correlated with the reputation of an engineering school. Of the top 10 engineering schools in the latest US News and World Report rankings of graduate programs, nine have top 10 ranked ECE programs. Nevertheless, ECE is a field that finds itself facing challenges. In this paper, we will look to the field’s past issues and note how the field repeatedly reinvented itself to push to new heights. Finally, we argue that the time is ripe for another reinvention and show how aspects of such a reinvention are already emerging. Areas such as machine learning and data science, the Internet of things, and quantum information systems provide promising directions for ECE — and embracing them provides a path to a bright future. The Present Situation In many ways, ECE is a victim of its own successes. Advances such as computer-aided design tools reduce the number of designers needed. The increased integration reflected in Moore’s law means that more functionality can be integrated into a single integrated circuit (IC), replacing the need for engineering to integrate multiple components in custom designs.

  • Civil Engineer Vs Architect- Differents in Job, Salary
    Civil engineer vs Architect- Differents in Job, Salary If you are a civil engineer or an architectural engineer then I think I need not describe about Civil engineer vs Architect to you. Right?. You should already have some knowledge about them. Don’t you? Not to worry even you don’t know, I am here to explain it to you. But, if you are choosing to be graduate among civil engineering and architectural engineering, then you are at the right place to know “Civil engineer vs Architect” In any construction work or creation of structure like a bridge, building, airport, etc there require good knowledge and understanding of civil and architecture engineers. The skill of both professions is most required for the aesthetic and stable structure to be made. If the structure is attractive in look but not safe for landing or using, then there is no point in constructing a structure or if the structure is safe but not well manage for efficient work then also there is no point in constructing the structure. So, in short, you can understand the work of an architectural engineer is to manage and give an aesthetic look to the structure and the work of a civil engineer is to analyze and make a safe structure. However, there are some considerable differences between Civil engineer vs Architect. Let us discuss this. Civil engineer vs Architect S.N Architecture Engineer Civil Engineer Architecture engineers initialize the construction through their design. The After that the remaining designing of structure for 1 work for civil engineers aesthetic purpose means to give to proceed.
