  5. Introduction to Engineers

  6. Numbers of Engineers in the US

  7. Where do they work?

  8. Washington State employment? Source: Washington CEO, as of September 2006 (employment rounded to the nearest thousand). Numbers for all employment—not just engineering.

  9. What are Civil Engineers? • Civil and environmental engineering is a profession that applies technology to meet society's needs. • Civil and environmental engineers are essential to provide buildings, clean water, roadways, and the protection of the natural environment. • With the advent of new information technologies, civil and environmental engineering is at the intersection of the built, natural and information environments.

  10. Where do Civils work?

  11. US Engineering Students

  12. US Engineering Students and Graduates • In 2004, degrees awarded in engineering • 73,000 BS (CEE 11% of total) • 40,000 MS (CEE 9% of total) • 7,000 PhD (CEE 10% of total)

  18. Student Specialty Interests

  19. A bit of perspective…

  20. Illustrations of good…

  21. Civil Engineers do… Le Phare Tower (The Lighthouse), Paris 300 m height, $1.35 billion Disney Concert Hall, LA

  22. Civil Engineers also do… Dubai, UAE

  23. Wonderful buildings in Dubai… Burj Dubai Ski Dubai

  24. Actually, lots of buildings…

  25. Big projects…such as Grand Coulee Dam

  26. Big projects…such as Grand Coulee Dam

  27. Three Gorges Dam 27 million m3 of PCC 18,200 megawatts of electricity Grand Coulee Dam 9.2 million m3 of PCC 6,000 megawatts of electricity However, Grand Coulee not world’s largest hydro dam… Photo sources: Wikipedia
