Mechanical and Civil Engineer

Analysis A civil engineering job requires the engineer to analyze survey reports, maps, drawings, blueprints, aerial photography, and other topographical or geologic data to plan projects. The factors mentioned above are necessary to make an apt decision required for the project. Planning The job of a civil engineer requires him/her to plan and design transportation or hydraulic systems and structures, following construction and government standards, using design software and drawing tools. The planning phase marks the initiation of the project. Computation Once the planning phase is completed the civil engineering job requires the engineer to compute load and grade requirements, water flow rates, and material stress factors to determine design specifications. Based on the design specifications necessary materials are chosen. Inspection A civil engineering job requires the engineer to inspect project sites to monitor progress and ensure conformance to design specifications and safety or sanitation standards. At each step, inspection is performed to ensure the quality of work.
