Soil mechanics is one of the new disciplines of civil engineering‚ concerning the study of soil. It gathers data and provides the theoretical base for analysis in geotechnical engineering. In earlier times‚ constructions were built based on assumptions. After some important foundation-related engineering problems‚ example of the Leaning Tower of Pisa‚ engineers

1) engineering as a professional : a) Differentiate between Job and Professional Job stands for "just over broke" thus requiring minimal education and one with little to no experience will suffice to get the job done. One can easily be replaced at a job. Profession is a commitment to a higher level of education where on must attend and acquire skilled training. A profession requires critical thinking skills.

Civil engineering is the oldest of the main branches of engineering. The title “civil engineering” was first used about 1750 by John Smeaton‚ an English engineer. Civil engineers plan and supervise the construction of buildings‚ bridges‚ waterways‚ streets‚ highways and sewerage systems. Other civil engineering projects include railroads‚ tunnels‚ dams‚ canals‚ airports and irrigation systems. Civil engineering should be familiar with the many materials used in the structures he builds. Materials

Genetic Engineering is a scientific process that has recently come a long way. Within the past four years of the twentieth century we have witnessed the most rapid adoption of a new technology in history. Millions of acres of farmland have been planted with genetically engineered crops since 1996. The crops consist mainly of corn‚ soybeans‚ and cotton. Genetic engineering techniques allow scientists to insert specific genes into plants and/or animals. Also‚ species are very easily crossed using genetic
