Engineering as Social Experimentation Similarities to Standard Experiments 1. Any project is carried out in partial ignorance. 2. The final outcomes of engineering projects are generally uncertain. 3. Ongoing success depends on gaining new knowledge. Monitoring is thus as essential to engineering as it is to Common Mistakes of Engineers • Lack of established channels of communication. • Misplaced pride in not asking for information. • Embarrassment at failure or fear of litigation. • Plain neglect

Historically‚ Civil Engineering is the oldest branch of engineering and dates back at least 5‚000 years to the profession of "master builder" involving pyramids‚ temples and irrigation projects. Engineering has changed greatly since those days but the fundamental principles have stayed the same. Engineers solve peoples problems with applied science and innovation. Today’s problems are more complex and the needs of current and future societies have created challenges for engineering unparalleled in

1980s computer-aided design programs reduced the need of draftsmen significantly‚ especially in small to mid-sized companies. Their affordability and ability to run on personal computers also allowed engineers to do their own drafting and analytic work‚ eliminating the need for entire departments. In today’s world‚ many students in universities do not learn manual drafting techniques because they are not required to do so. The days of hand drawing for final drawings are virtually over.
