Who isn’t familiar with the field of engineering One of the majors with the greatest job opportunities in Indonesia and even in the world has managed to produce talented graduates who have produced productive work in their respective fields. This time, we will delve into the field of civil engineering, which surprisingly contains several interesting specializations to explore.
The first one is Structural Engineering. Here, we’ll introduce structural mechanics, concrete structures, timber structures, and steel structures along with their dynamics. This is necessary when constructing high-rise buildings, airports, docks, houses, stadiums, ports, and various other buildings. Next is Construction Management, which includes job scheduling, project budgeting, return on investment, building permits, construction project monitoring, and legal aspects during the bidding document process. Environmental issues such as air pollution, noise pollution, sanitation engineering, river pollution, wastewater management, waste management, as well as clean water facilities and infrastructure can be explored through Environmental Engineering specialization.
To understand everything beneath the ground surface, including retaining walls, foundations, soil mechanics, and various earth-related works, specialization in Geotechnical Engineering is required. In theory and practice, Geotechnical Engineering deals with the structure and properties of soil and rocks in their function as support for buildings erected upon them.
Furthermore, there is Hydrology, which
studies rainfall, weather, floods, river flow, and so on. Next is Transportation, which covers modeling and systems such as airport construction, railways, highway geometry, and traffic engineering. In this specialization, engineers will be involved in planning and applying transportation science in everyday life. And last, it would be incomplete not to mention Civil Engineering Informatics, which involves the application of computational science for modeling or calculating systems in construction projects or research.
