A Key Note On Civil And Environmental Engineering


 

Civil engineering is a professional branch of engineering discipline which deals with the design, construction and maintenance of the physical and naturally built environment which includes the works like roads, bridges, canals, dams, buildings etc. Environmental engineering deals with the treatment of chemical, biological, thermal waste, purification of water, air and the remediation of contaminated sites due to prior waste disposal or accidental contamination. Every engineer must know the concept of sustainable development and the particular application of construction materials in its related areas without affecting the green environment.The knowledge of Civil and Environmental Engineering focuses on interactions between human activities and the natural environment. Its mission is to use science, engineering and policy to improve quality of life and sustain environmental systems. This includes intelligent use of natural resources such as the raw materials, energy, and ecosystems needed to sustain modern society. The area of Civil and Environmental Engineering is especially concerned with:

  • Understanding of natural cycles, systems, and processes relevant to human activities
  • Use of natural analogs for designing new materials, industrial processes, and infrastructure systems
  • Development of new building and transportation technologies
  • Advances in information infrastructure and logistics
  • Creation of attractive and sustainable physical environments

The main aim of this paper is to bring the awareness about the environment while constructing and to minimize the hazardous effect to the environment.

Abstract


Civil engineering is a professional branch of engineering discipline which deals with the design, construction and maintenance of the physical and naturally built environment which includes the works like roads, bridges, canals, dams, buildings etc. Environmental engineering deals with the treatment of chemical, biological, thermal waste, purification of water, air and the remediation of contaminated sites due to prior waste disposal or accidental contamination. Every engineer must know the concept of sustainable development and the particular application of construction materials in its related areas without affecting the green environment.The knowledge of Civil and Environmental Engineering focuses on interactions between human activities and the natural environment.
