Under what circumstances should a civil engineer use bridge bearings? Why are they so indispensable?

This might be one of the most intriguing questions that I have ever had about my career. Every day I pass by enormous bridges and I can't think but visualize how bridges can withstand great amounts of forces. Essentially, a bridge bearing is a component of a bridge that provides a resting surface between the bridge deck and the bridge piers. I would like to know a bit more as to why they are critical in complex bridge. #college #engineering #engineer #civil-engineering #bridge

As a future Civil Engineer, what area should civil engineers pay greater attention to, aesthetics or functionality? why?

As I prepare to transfer to the University of Texas at San Antonio and get ready to finally begin taking classes with regard to my major, I wonder if aesthetics is as important as functionality is on a project. Since Civil Engineering deals with the design and maintenance of the naturally built environment, I want clear that doubt from my head and understand which area is more substantial. #college #engineering #civil-engineering #aesthetics #functionality

What are the similarites and differences between civil engineering, architecture, and architectural engineering?

Hello, I'm currently a civil engineering student at the University of Dayton. I'm in a sort of dilemma where, like any other college student, am unsure of where I want to go degree-wise. I really thought that civil engineering would be a great stepping stone for me into architecture until I decided what I want to do. Now I want to look over the pros and cons of each and decide what I really want to pursue. A second more detailed question I have about each of the degree I listed in my original question is what particular type of work would be done in each and what special skills are required of each one? #civil-engineering #architecture #architect #degrees #architectural-engineering

What difficulties do you face in opening a firm after graduating?

I'm currently a civil engineering major and a little torn over if I really want to do this, architectural engineering, or simply become an architect. But I do know that I want to open up an architectural firm of my own. So until I decide what I really do want to do with my degree, what difficulties do you face in opening an architectural firm or just a business in general? How long of a period do you suppose should be given to any business to determine if it will work or not? It must be hard to open up a business right after graduation even after a masters degree, what sort of innovative ideas have you seen to work or tried yourself? What type of promoting have you seen and also thought to have worked? Any other information you provide would gladly be appreciated. #business #engineering #management #civil-engineering #architect #firm

How do I choose which type of engineering is right for me?

I am a sophomore in highschool and I really do have a lot of decisions to make. Civil engineering seems like something I want to do, because it seems similar to architecture, which is another major I am considering taking. Electric Engineering seems like something I would want to do, but I don't see myself being good at it. When choosing engineering, should I pick one that interests me or something I know I will be good in? #engineering #civil-engineering #electrical-engineering #architectural

Could you please explain the differences between Civil, Architectural, and Mechanical Engineering? Also, could you suggest which one I should possibly take?

I consider math as a "specialty" for me and I think that these three areas will be ones that I consider for my career, however I still am struggling on which I should strive for, so any suggestions would be helpful! #mathematics #civil-engineering #engineering #mechanical-engineer
