In this paper, the authors review and evaluate some of the pressing specific problems that we face as a society and that have been traditionally entrusted to civil and environmental engineers. There is ample evidence that the state-of-the practice is not sufficiently qualified to address daunting problems related to the safe and efficient performance of infrastructures with the current approach...

The ASCE’s body of knowledge for the 21st century and vision for civil engineering in 2025 outline skills and capabilities necessary for civil engineers to create a sustainable world. An undergraduate course at Georgia Institute of Technology introduces undergraduates to a systems-sustainability approach to civil and environmental engineering, applying systems methods to analyze decisions over ...

The civil engineering community is currently moving towards the continuous monitoring of civil structures in order to forecast their unavoidable failure with enough precision. So-called smart technologies seem to be well adapted to this specific task. For a civil structure, such as a bridge or a dam, a monitoring smart system often includes a set of sensors, whose data is passed onto a controll...

Background: Interdisciplinary pedagogical practices can enhance dialogues, including knowledge and possibilities to produce some impact on society the labour world. Objectives: In general, students need practical activities involving their professional training area, interdisciplinary are described from a theoretical perspective. Design: This research is based studying documents produced by dur...

strong linkage between psychology and civil engineering. Psychology tools are used in many areas of civil engineering, some areas are old and some are recent. Other areas where psychology can play an important role are emerging. You may be surprised to know that almost half the psychologists, in the broader sense, work in areas related to civil engineering. Psychology, the science that deals wi...
