  1. Transferring From Chabot Lucas Huezo Transferred to UC Berkeley in 2007

  2. Civil Engineering • "Civil engineering is the profession in which a knowledge of the mathematical and physical sciences gained by study, experience, and practice is applied with judgment to develop ways to utilize, economically, the materials and forces of nature for the progressive well-being of humanity in creating, improving, and protecting the environment, in providing facilities for community living, industry and transportation, and in providing structures for the use of humanity.” - American Society of Civil Engineers, 1961 • Application of Math and Science as Services for Humanity

  3. Civil Engineering Sub-Disciplines • Engineering & Project Management • Environmental Engineering • GeoEngineering • Structural Engineering • Transportation Engineering

  4. Engineering & Project Management (CE167) • Also known as Construction Engineering • Planning and execution of designs from other engineers • More of the Business side of engineering • Management • Decision Making • Engineering Economics • Contracting • Planning, Estimating, Scheduling • Law and Ethics

  5. Environmental Engineering (CE111) • Air Quality Engineering • Climate Change and Pollution • Environmental Fluid Mechanics & Hydrology • Water Flow and Water Resources • Coastal Ocean, Surface and Subsurface Water Flow • Water Quality Engineering • Sanitary Engineering • Sources, Transport, and Treatment of chemical and microbiological contaminants that affect water

  6. GeoEngineering (CE175) • Rational exploitation of mineral resources • Providing materials for construction • Providing a firm foundation for our built infrastructure • Using and maintaining the water flowing through the ground • Mitigation of natural hazards of all kinds

  7. Structural Engineering (CE120) • Structural Design and Structural Analysis • Wind and Earthquake Engineering • Buildings, Bridges, Towers, Flyovers, Tunnels, Off-Shore Structures

  8. Transportation Engineering (CE155) • Transportation of People and Goods efficiently and safely • Streets, Canals, Highways, Rail Systems, Airports, Ports, and Mass Transit

  9. Two Years at Chabot College

  10. Apply to Universities • Applied to: • San Jose State • Cal Poly - San Luis Obispo • UC Davis • UC Berkeley • Decided to go with Cal • Excellent reputation in the Civil Engineering Field • Can stay at home and save money • I commute taking BART

  11. Two Years at UC Berkeley

  12. Lower Division Courses • CE 11 – Engineered Systems & Sustainability • Basic principles of environmental science needed to understand natural processes as they are influenced by human activities • CE 60 – Civil Engineering Materials • =Engr 45 + Lots of Concrete • Introduction to structure and properties of civil engineering materials such as asphalt, cements, concrete, geological materials (e.g. soil and rocks), steel, polymers, and wood • CE 70 – Engineering Geology • Principles of physical and structural geology; the influence of geological factors on engineering works and the environment. • Field Trip to local points of geological interest

  13. Lower Division Courses • CE 93 – Engineering Data Analysis • Application of the concepts and methods of probability theory and statistical inference to CEE problems and data; applications to various CEE problems and real data will be developed by use of MATLAB and existing codes • Pay attention in Engr 25. MATLAB will come up a lot!!! • Transition to Upper Division is tough • More intense and in depth material • Much more time devoted to study • More need for independence • Attend Office Hours!!!

  14. Upper Division Courses • ME 104– Engineering Mechanics II - Dynamics • Introduction to the dynamics of particles and rigid bodies. http://www2.eng.cam.ac.uk/~hemh/movies.htm • Foundation for Automotive Engineering and Aeronautical Engineering • You will learn the basics of Rocket Science!!

  15. Upper Division Courses • CE 130– Mechanics of Materials • Introduction to the mechanics of deformable solids; elastic and ultimate resistance of materials; stress and deformation analysis • Builds on Engr 25 (Statics) and Engr 45 (Materials Engineering) • How and why objects deform and/or fail

  16. Outside of Class • Engineer-In-Training Examination • First step towards becoming a Professional Engineer • Usually taken junior/senior year • Review of basic engineering knowledge • Practically a necessity for a Civil Engineer • GRE, Graduate Records Examination • SAT for Graduate School • Required if you want to go to graduate school (Masters, PhD)

  17. Student Organizations • American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) • Concrete Canoe • Steel Bridge • Career Fair: Many companies come to campus to recruit interns and new grads • Company Info Sessions

  18. Student Organizations • Chi Epsilon, National Civil Engineering Honor Society • Conception, Design, and Construction • Scholarship, Practicality, Character, Sociability • Social and Academic Events

  19. Internships • Provides practical experience • See how the class work applies to the real world • I have worked for the City of Palo Alto • Utilities Engineering – Water, Gas, Wastewater • Use AutoCAD to map underground utilities as well as do surveying in the field
