Teaching
and learning[RV College --- Direct Admission]
Teaching
in the Department is mainly through lectures, tutorials, laboratories and
fieldwork, with substantial design projects carried out in purpose-built
studios. There is an optional placement year offering students an opportunity
to combine academic study with an Industrial Placement. There are many
opportunities to acquire work place skills prior to graduation. [RV College --- Direct Admission] The
course uses joint projects, where teams of architectural and engineering
students work together to produce highly integrated, inventive and imaginative
design solutions. [RV College --- Direct Admission]
Engineering
has been an aspect of life since the beginnings of human existence. The
earliest practice of civil engineering may have commenced between 4000 and 2000
BC in Ancient Egypt, the Indus Valley Civilization, and Mesopotamia (Ancient
Iraq) when humans started to abandon a nomadic existence, creating a need for
the construction of shelter. During this time, transportation became
increasingly important leading to the development of the wheel and sailing. [RV College --- Direct Admission]
Until
modern times there was no clear distinction between civil engineering and
architecture, and the term engineer and architect were mainly geographical
variations referring to the same occupation, and often used interchangeably.The
construction of pyramids in Egypt (circa 2700–2500 BC) were some of the first
instances of large structure constructions. [RV
College --- Direct Admission]Other ancient historic civil engineering
constructions include the Qanat water management system (the oldest is older
than 3000 years and longer than 71 km,[8]) the Parthenon by Iktinos in Ancient
Greece (447–438 BC), the Appian Way by Roman engineers (c. 312 BC), the Great
Wall of China by General Meng T'ien under orders from Ch'in Emperor Shih Huang
Ti (c. 220 BC) and the stupas constructed in ancient Sri Lanka like the
Jetavanaramaya and the extensive irrigation works in Anuradhapura. The Romans
developed civil structures throughout their empire, including especially
aqueducts, insulae, harbors, bridges, dams and roads. [RV College --- Direct Admission]
John
Smeaton, the "father of civil engineering"[RV College --- Direct Admission]
In the
18th century, the term civil engineering was coined to incorporate all things
civilian as opposed to military engineering.he first self-proclaimed civil
engineer was John Smeaton, who constructed the Eddystone Lighthouse. [RV College --- Direct Admission]In 1771
Smeaton and some of his colleagues formed the Smeatonian Society of Civil
Engineers, a group of leaders of the profession who met informally over dinner.
Though there was evidence of some technical meetings, it was little more than a
social society. [RV College --- Direct Admission]
In 1818
the Institution of Civil Engineers was founded in London, and in 1820 the
eminent engineer Thomas Telford became its first president. The institution
received a Royal Charter in 1828, formally recognising civil engineering as a profession.
Its charter defined civil engineering as:
the art of
directing the great sources of power in nature for the use and convenience of
man, as the means of production and of traffic in states, both for external and
internal trade, as applied in the construction of roads, bridges, aqueducts,
canals, river navigation and docks for internal intercourse and exchange, and
in the construction [RV College --- Direct
Admission]of ports, harbours, moles, breakwaters and lighthouses, and in
the art of navigation by artificial power for the purposes of commerce, and in
the construction and application of machinery, and in the drainage of cities
and towns. [RV College --- Direct Admission]

History of
civil engineering education[RV College
--- Direct Admission]
The first
private college to teach civil engineering in the United States was Norwich
University, founded in 1819 by Captain Alden Partridge. The first degree in
civil engineering in the United States was awarded by Rensselaer Polytechnic
Institute in 1835.The first such degree to be awarded to a woman was granted by
Cornell University to Nora Stanton Blatch in 1905. [RV College --- Direct Admission]
In the UK
during the early 19th century, the division between civil engineering and
military engineering (served by the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich), coupled
with the demands of the Industrial Revolution, spawned new engineering
education initiatives: [RV College --- Direct
Admission]the Royal Polytechnic Institution was founded in 1838, the
private College for Civil Engineers in Putney was established in 1839, and the
UK's first Chair of Engineering was established at the University of Glasgow in
1840. [RV College --- Direct Admission]
Civil
engineering is the application of physical and scientific principles for
solving the problems of society, and its history is intricately linked to
advances in understanding of physics and mathematics throughout history.
Because civil engineering is a wide ranging profession, including several
separate specialized sub-disciplines, its history is linked to knowledge of
structures, materials science, geography, geology, soils, hydrology,
environment, mechanics and other fields. [RV
College --- Direct Admission]
Throughout
ancient and medieval history most architectural design and construction was
carried out by artisans, such as stonemasons and carpenters, rising to the role
of master builder. Knowledge was retained in guilds and seldom supplanted by
advances. Structures, roads and infrastructure that existed were repetitive,
and increases in scale were incremental. [RV
College --- Direct Admission]
One of the
earliest examples of a scientific approach to physical and mathematical
problems applicable to civil engineering is the work of Archimedes in the 3rd
century BC, including Archimedes Principle, which underpins our understanding
of buoyancy, and practical solutions such as Archimedes' screw. Brahmagupta, an
Indian mathematician, used arithmetic in the 7th century AD, based on
Hindu-Arabic numerals, for excavation (volume) computations. [RV College --- Direct Admission]
Civil
engineers typically possess an academic degree in civil engineering. The length
of study is three to five years, and the completed degree is designated as a
bachelor of engineering, or a bachelor of science. [RV College --- Direct Admission] The curriculum generally
includes classes in physics, mathematics, project management, design and
specific topics in civil engineering. After taking basic courses in most
sub-disciplines of civil engineering, they move onto specialize in one or more
sub-disciplines at advanced levels. While an undergraduate degree (BEng/BSc)
normally provides successful students with industry-accredited qualification,
some academic institutions offer post-graduate degrees (MEng/MSc), which allow
students to further specialize in their particular area of interest. [RV College --- Direct Admission]
In most
countries, a bachelor's degree in engineering represents the first step towards
professional certification, and a professional body certifies the degree
program. After completing a certified degree program, the engineer must satisfy
a range of requirements (including work experience and exam requirements) before
being certified. [RV College --- Direct Admission]Once
certified, the engineer is designated as a professional engineer (in the United
States, Canada and South Africa), a chartered engineer (in most Commonwealth
countries), a chartered professional engineer (in Australia and New Zealand),
or a European engineer (in most countries of the European Union). There are
international agreements between relevant professional bodies to allow
engineers to practice across national borders. [RV College --- Direct Admission]
The
benefits of certification vary depending upon location. For example, in the
United States and Canada, "only a licensed professional engineer may
prepare, sign and seal, and submit engineering plans and drawings to a public
authority for approval, or seal engineering work for public and private
clients."This requirement is enforced under provincial law such as the
Engineers Act in Quebec. [RV College --- Direct

No such
legislation has been enacted in other countries including the United Kingdom.
In Australia, state licensing of engineers is limited to the state of Queensland.
Almost all certifying bodies maintain a code of ethics which all members must
abide by. [RV College --- Direct Admission]
Engineers
must obey contract law in their contractual relationships with other parties.
In cases where an engineer's work fails, he may be subject to the law of tort
of negligence, and in extreme cases, criminal charges.An engineer's work must
also comply with numerous other rules and regulations such as building codes
and environmental law. [RV College --- Direct
