have been living in Peru, where people are shocked when they hear that as a woman I studied civil engineering at university. Certainly, this shows the antiquated thought process in Peru’s culture, where civil engineering is not seen as a suitable career path for a woman. I must mention that my choice of major started way back at my uncle’s house, where I first saw a laboratory of geotechnical civil engineering. Its machines and the work done impressed me significantly. I really longed to understand
Roles and responsibilities of a civil engineer in the Mauritian society – including the importance of good and clear communication. Good and clear communication is fundamental in the civil engineering sector, in fact for any other profession where information needs to circulate from one individual to the other. Especially, in Mauritius where there is an abundance of cultures with a variety of languages. As stated by Rose Johnson (2017), good communication skills help to reduce the barriers erected
Civil Engineering is all about problem solving, you are always looking to figure out a puzzle or trying to enhance a certain concept or a technique to help you remove ambiguities and come up with smart and innovative solutions, and that what makes it exciting and challenging. Civil Engineering has a peerless impact on the quality of people’s lives; it’s directly associated with human civilization aspects. Pursuing a Master Degree in civil engineering is something necessary to me in order to extend
ones. The results of engineering activities contribute to the welfare of man by furnishing food, shelter, and comfort; by making work, transportation and communication easier and safer; and by making life pleasant and satisfying. Engineering is the professional art of applying, science to the optimum conversion of the resources of nature to benefit man. The words engineer and ingenious are derived from the same Latin root “ingenerate” meaning “to create”. The role of a civil engineer is to design
learners: A study Ammaji Nalli&Prof. Jayaprada Abstract The ability to read academic texts is considered one of the most important skills that undergraduate students of engineering learning English as a Second Language (ESL) need to acquire. That is the reason engineering colleges in Andhra Pradesh have English in the engineering curriculum. Reading well is a skill that is non-negotiable. It has long been recognised that ability to use reading strategies when reading enables the reader to negotiate
Most of the training and research which was previously done on an aircraft is now done in an artificial setup called flight simulator. With the passage of time more sophisticated flight simulators are being developed to meet the increasing demand in civil aviation and military. In military various simulation techniques are being employed in the aviation technology to train amateur pilots about both fixed and rotary wing aircraft flight. This reduces the cost of training as well as lessens the probability
modern civilization cannot be denied. The wide scope of a variety of studies of Geology encompasses everything that has been on the surfaces of the Earth. This study can be applied in different fields and discipline such as chemistry, biology, civil engineering, history, economics and even politics. In the US there are over 386 schools offering geology programs, grant geology degrees, or offer geology courses. (Koch & Lee, 2011-2013) With these numbers, there is no doubt that most of these universities
(2016) emphasized the importance of testing as it functions as one of the most common ways of detecting whether an improvement is achieved by educational institutions through measuring the students’ achievement in a test. In line with this, he anchored his study on a number of variables such as age, civil status, course schedule, scholarship grants, work status, grades in Algebra and Trigonometry (which are considered pre-requisite subjects in Math courses) affecting the academic Physics performance

Abstract 1.0 Introduction On March 11, 2011, the northeastern of Japan was struck by a massive earthquake, also known as the Tōhoku earthquake [1], which was followed by a devastating tsunami less than an hour later. This had caused great destruction on the coast as well as three nuclear meltdowns and an uncontrollable release of radiation into the air. There were over 27,000 fatalities due to the earthquake and tsunami but none of them directly related to the nuclear disaster [2]. More than 160
