ENGINEERING & CIVIL ENGINEERING Presented by Nadim Sioufi, CEng MICE

What is Engineering Key points Ø Initially (Latin) : To imagine and create. Ø Contemporary reference: Operate an engine. Meaning Harmonisation Create to make everything work around you Resolve Complexities

Why Engineering? Key points Engineering Ø Academically provides the possibility of defining specialisation at a later stage. Ø Wide professional perspective. Ø Challenging managerial activities: design, negotiation, planning, finance. . Civil Eng Ø Interdisciplinary activities. Ø The whole world is available. Ø Everyday will be different. The key is to forecast the unpredictable, or at least know how to act. You can touch what you build

Civil Engineering: Between home and school A 7 Ø Ø Traffic demand Under and overpasses, junction Pipe work and drainage Concrete mix and all other materials

Civil Engineering: Between home and school Water infrastructure ü Pipe work / clean water from your tap ü Sewage / Istan dam. .

Civil Engineering: Between home and school Structures Ø Airports / Stadiums / Special buildings

Civil Engineering: Between home and school AVE ü Station, Railtrack…

Civil Engineering: Between home and school Coastal engineering Ø Ports Ø Coastal protection
