4. 3 Civil Engineering Scavenger Hunt Here's how you play the game. You will need to cruise around this presentation and find all the items on your list. Items can be text or images within the site or at one of the links. As you find the items, return to the scavenger list page and fill in the answer on the notepad. There is only one right response to each question; however, you can also delete items from your notes that you think are incorrect. Oh, by the way, the object of the game is to find all the items in the shortest amount of time so quit reading and start looking. Good luck! START SKIP GAME

7. 6 What is Civil Engineering???? Civil engineering is a composite of many specific disciplines. –Structural & solid mechanics. –Waste treatment & environmental. –Transportation. –Geotechnical & soil mechanics. –Hydraulics & water management. –Construction management. SCAVENGER LIST (click)

8. 7 Structural & Solid Mechanics Structural engineers design steel, concrete, or timber framed structures such as: –Tall buildings & towers, –Bridges, –Dams, –Retaining walls, & foundations, &. –Stadiums. Link: Mackinack Bridge Link: Chesepeake Bay Bridge/Tunnel SCAVENGER LIST

9. 8 Waste Treatment & Environmental. Wastewater treatment engineers are civil or environmental engineers trained to design or analyze water treatment plants. Water treatment plants are categorized as follows: –Sanitary waste treatment facilities, –Industrial waste treatment facilities, –Potable (drinking) water treatment facility. Largest treatment basins in the USA Link: Visit Sewage World SCAVENGER LIST

10. 9 Transportation Transportation Engineers design and analyze –Highways, –Railways, –Airports, –Urban and Suburban Road Networks, –Parking Lots, and –Traffic Control Signal Systems. Link: Transportation at work SCAVENGER LIST

11. 10 Geotechnical & Soil Mechanics Geotechnical Engineers analyze the subterranean rock and soil to determine its suitability to support extreme loads. Proper geotechnical engineering is essential for a safe and secure structure. Link: A bad engineering job SCAVENGER LIST

12. 11 Hydraulics & Water Management Water management involves the use of hydrologic and hydraulic principles to design: –Drainage systems, –Detention/retention ponds, –Navigational waterways, and –Flood control levees, dams, and lakes. Link: Hoover Dam Link: Flood Pictures SCAVENGER LIST

13. 12 Construction Management Construction managers: –Review contracts, –Order materials, –Hire and schedule sub- contractors. The job of a construction manager is to: –Provide quality control and insure project is completed on time and. –Within budget. Link: Golden Gate Bridge Construction SCAVENGER LIST
