    one major branch in civil that he didnt mention was environmental engineering. Environmental engineers deal with many stuff mechanical engineers dont, such as environmental chemistry, water microbiology, water treatment, air quality, just to name a few. Civil engineers also develop complex piping networks to distribute water, detention ponds, dams, weirs, and other hydraulic structures. This is often the work of hydraulic engineers. Structural engineers also analyse and construct structures that will sustain seismic forces from earthquakes.
    There might be 5 major branches to civil engineering, but each provides many different career outcomes. In my opinion, civil engineering has a direct and immediate impact on the everyday lives of people, and to anyone considering this career path this should be an important factor,

      Xxac1348xX i think environmental engineering is seperated from civil engineering, even though they overlap in some areas. At least in germany they are two different majors. But due to the partial similarities the transition is not that hard (at least within the water department).
      I agree, that the video "failed" to showcase the diversity of civil engineering. Well, failed is a bit too harsh, but you can do so much as a civil engineer, especially in the environmental areas.

      Here at the US. Books always emphasize at least 6 main areas of civil engineering. Structural, Geotechnical, Environmental, Water Resources, Transportation, and Management. Most of the time, the 6 branches are teach equally, and then a Master will go more into the specialization. Ps: For water classes, I not only took fluid mechanics; I took hydrology, hydraulics, water treatment, and water resources for my bachelors. Still, good video.

    You didn't mention that in some cases a mechanical engineer can't take the place of a civil engineering because of the professional rights. It isn't because he didn't do it at the college but he isn't allowed by law to sign the plan of a building because you have to be a licenced civil engineer to do the study on the foundations, columns, beams etc. I would suggest that you focus on the professional rights at your next videos.

      Electrical: For renewable energies and improving transmission
      Civil: Like MP said,for water resources ( managing floods, water access, hidraulic energy)
      Mechanical: For wind , wave and perhaps solar energy. Also, perhaps for carbon capturing.

    • @LucasRibeiro-po4pb
      @LucasRibeiro-po4pb 4 года назад +4

      It depends on what renewable energy. Hydro power is basically civil engineering (hydraulics and structures mainly). Nuclear needs civil engineering to construc the plants, but after that only maintenance and that's few people; we also don't know much about fusion, so what I said only applies to fission, though everything suggests fusion will require even less civil. Eolic energy has some civil engineer, dealing mostly with structures and planning. Solar probably employs the least amount, but there are a few in construction and planning. Geothermal I don't know about, but I suppose it would employ more than nuclear and less than hydro. In a civil engineering position, you will work indirectly with renewable energy, you will provide the physical non electric infrastructure that it requires, but nothing related to the actual generation and distribution of energy. Summing up, it's a field with little proportion of civil engineers, and for now it employs very few, but it does and you can look for such jobs. But if you want to study civil just for renewables work, don't do it, it's a bad bet.

      Usually construction is just a stream or simply a part within a civil engineering major. I don't think there's a standalone construction engineering major. There is a standalone construction management major which qualifies you to work in construction management but ultimately you're not an accredited engineer at the end of that degree despite doing engineering courses within the program. If you're interested in construction then major in civil and do an internship in construction. You can then apply to construction (site engineering) jobs.

      It looks similar to the core civil program. I'd recommend you take the civil major as it offers more choice in engineering electives. The thing is construction enegineering is a rare major (I didn't even know it existed). You'll have no trouble getting a job in construction with a civil degree but a construction major might pigeonhole you in case you want to switch into a different area in the event that employers aren't familiar with the scope of the program. That's my 2c

      I have a two year degree in Liberal Arts. I have a four year degree in English. if I went back to college for engineering should I earn a masters or another undergraduate degree? If I return to college for engineering are there oppertunaties not directly related to engineering that the engineering education as well as the soft skills that engineering students learn through that education that would open up for me if I decide to study to earn a engineering degree but not to become an engineer? Do a Civil Engineering degree and a Mechanical Engineering degree have the same level of flexibility both at the undergraduate and graduate level?

      Even if you tried for a masters in engineering degree, you will probably have to take some undergraduate engineering courses as prerequisites before beginning your master’s courses.
      Construction law and contractor contracts might be something you could look into.
      Mechanical and civil engineering at the undergraduate is interchangeable up until the second year, then the window of opportunity to switch begins to close.

I had a friend who use to work on the plants in the space habitats. they also have space suits and such.

      Actually civil engineers interest with static structures for example structure engineer can work in aircraft structure because even if the aircraft is moving, there are sections in it that need to be stable like airframe.But mechanical enginners interest with dynamic structures .So that's the different.Civil eng interests static structures and mech eng interests dynamic structures.
