From theoretical mechanics to structural mechanics , and then to load analysis of PKPM (an engineering management software), from material mechanics to geotechnical materials, to cross-section reinforcement diagram of concrete beams, from soil mechanics to engineering hydrogeology, and then to hydraulic building construction equipment The plastic core wall in the project, from the collection of drawing methods to engineering drawings, to the Multiline in AutoCAD, from engineering surveying to the measurement of elevation with level , to the total station placement point full of construction sites, from construction organization design to the placement line at the construction site, from project management to engineering economics, and to various quotas in project budget , all of which need to be learned.
01 First, the difference between civil engineering and architecture
Ladies often cannot distinguish between architecture and civil engineering.
To put it simply, the soul of architecture is design, involving art, technology and aesthetics. What we focus on is the shape and functional partition of the building, external landscape design, etc. At the heart of civil engineering is structure, involving the strength and safety of buildings that concern mechanics, mathematics and analytics.
02 Second, the daily
Although moving bricks is a joke, going to the construction site and engineering is indeed an internship process that civil engineering students must go through. Only through the experience of the construction site can we combine the knowledge learned in the classroom with the actual needs, and avoid the embarrassment that the designed plan is difficult to implement or even impossible to implement in the project.
In addition to internships at the construction site, as a typical engineering major, the daily study of civil engineering major is also very hard.
First of all, drawing is a pain, from hand-drawing engineering drawing to calculation of CAD drawing. Drawing pictures runs through the entire major. Recognizing pictures and drawing pictures are essential basic skills for civil and industrial people. This requires learners to have a certain ability to imagine space and be patient and careful enough. It is normal for a picture to take three or four hours.
Secondly, mechanical calculation analysis is also a pain. Theoretical mechanics, materials mechanics, structural mechanics, soil mechanics, fluid mechanics, , etc. All are compulsory courses for civil engineering students. Students who are not good at high school mathematics and physics should not apply for this major. This major will involve a lot of mechanical calculation analysis.
Finally, the structural design is also a pain. For example, the daily house architect provides solutions. As for what size of beams and columns are needed, how to design and model steel bars with load-bearing walls and isolation walls, it is a test of the structural design ability of civil engineers . To complete structural design, the previous drawing skills and mechanical design analysis skills are very important. When using drawing software correctly, you must also know why you draw like this and where do the values come from? Every formula must be accurate, and the design of each parameter must be clear where it comes from and which template? Each calculation result must be proofread. Whether it meets the limitations required by the specifications, on this basis, we must also learn to use software computing and manual calculation results to check. Only in the end can a qualified structural design be considered complete. It can be said that there is no precise and rigorous structural design drawing, and all the designs are castles in the air.
03 Third, is the working environment very hard?
is also a civil engineering major, but after graduation, there may be two completely different working environments. First, the working environment in the construction unit is indeed relatively harsh, because most of them are in the wild, and even in urban construction is full of a lot of construction dust and noise. Second, in all directions except construction, such as design institutes, cost institutions, supervision agencies, real estate companies, etc., the working environment in these places is the ordinary office environment .
04 The fourth, the eternal sunrise industry.
As long as there is someone who has food, housing and transportation, these four major needs will not dry up. The third note is based on civil engineering as the pillar.
In recent years, civil engineering involves national infrastructure and basic construction, it has become a basic industry and pillar industry of the national economy faster. Civil engineering has a wide range of scope. In laying the foundation, building high-rise buildings, cutting roads across mountains, building bridges when encountering water, and earthquake-resistant and disaster prevention are all synchronous projects. Professionally, it includes civil construction, industry, construction, bridges, road traffic, tunnels, undersea tunnels, underground engineering, municipal engineering, plumbing and heating engineering, marine engineering, port engineering, disaster prevention and mitigation, and also engineering management, real estate, etc.
Currently, civil engineering is in a very lively period in our country, which is due to the current good trend of rapid economic development in my country. One of the most important tasks of national infrastructure construction and economic construction. In the annual growth of GDP in developed countries, basic construction and infrastructure construction account for about 30%. During the annual growth period of my country's construction and growth, the annual GDP of basic construction and infrastructure construction account for about 50% or even higher. In recent years, the country's annual investment in basic construction has exceeded 20% of the field GDP. China is now carrying out large-scale civil engineering construction, which is a great opportunity for the development of civil engineering. Therefore, we must seize this opportunity. On the one hand, we strive to achieve the goal of a moderately prosperous society in our country, and on the other hand, we also develop our civil engineering technology to the world's leading level.
With the development of science, the civil engineering discipline is constantly injecting new content, and high-tech is constantly combined into the civil engineering discipline. Many advanced technologies have been widely used in civil engineering, such as computer simulation, information technology, intelligent control technology, intelligent transportation, virtual reality, global satellite positioning , remote sensing, sensing technology, advanced engineering materials and intelligent materials, building energy saving technology, etc. are all important research areas in civil engineering. Exploring space and developing human settlements are also inseparable from synchronization engineering . Therefore, the synchronization engineering major is an ancient and young discipline and an eternal sunrise industry.
05 who are suitable for studying civil engineering?
First, civil engineering requires design inspiration and drawing basics
Synchronous engineering and architecture have obvious distinction on the basis of design inspiration painting. The inspirational painting basic synchronous engineering on which architecture relies on survival does not need it. It can be said that among the partners of architecture and engineering, civil engineering is the one who does not understand romanticism.
People who study civil engineering will pay more attention to what materials should be used for a certain column, how big the diameter should be, how a certain structure stands, how a magnitude 7 or magnitude 8 earthquake occurs, how many steel bars should be installed in this structure so that this structure is safe.
If you are interested in the construction industry, but have fewer artistic cells, you can choose to synchronous engineering major.
Second, the physics score must be good.
Still remember in " Shawshank Redemption ", everyone else thought that the tunnel that was going to be dug for 300 years. Did Andy dig it after using it for 17 years?
Andy also explained this problem in this video. The essence of all architecture is pressure. To be precise, the essence of all civil engineering is mechanics. Civil engineering is almost a discipline based on mechanics. Students who are good at physics and have physical thinking are very suitable for this major.
The third office location is comfortable
As mentioned above, most engineering students need to go to the factory construction site after graduation, but the office locations of design institutes, cost institutions, supervision agencies, real estate companies, etc. are mostly in the office, and the working environment is comfortable. Girls can also apply.
Fourth, having a big heart
There are not many occupations that directly concern the safety of human life. Medicine ranks first, and synchronization projects rank second. Regardless of whether you design a large structure, such as a particularly critical transportation hub or a super high-rise skyscraper, even if you design a most basic low-rise or multi-story residential building, it involves several or even dozens of families, and personal and property safety.
is related to personal safety, and it brings work pressure that is not weaker than doctors and their demand for a rigorous work attitude. Students who have or want to have a strong heart are more suitable for civil engineering majors.
06 What is the prospect after graduation?
Popular positions are divided into four directions
First, engineering technology direction
that is, construction. Real estate development, road and bridge construction and other enterprises are construction workers, construction engineers, structural engineers, technical managers, , project managers, etc. This job requires a permanent resident on the construction site, the entry threshold is relatively low, the supply of relevant personnel is in short supply, and employment is relatively easy.
Second, engineering design direction
mainly refers to design work in various places or branches, such as architectural design institutes, survey and design institutes, etc., which generally belong to Party B's design work. It is often ridiculed by most students studying civil engineering as migrant workers drawing drawings, which means that the main job of the design institute is to design and draw CAD drawings, and it is often more difficult to work overtime.
From a long-term perspective, after doing design work for a long time, you will get certain promotions in the design institute. Since the design institute pays a lot of dividends, a small increase in general positions is likely to double your salary.
3 Third, engineering supervision direction
project supervision work is to supervise the review of construction quality, safety and design plans in accordance with laws and regulations and project construction standards , construction project survey and design documents, construction project supervision contract and other contract documents during the construction process.
This job requires a permanent resident on the construction site. The threshold is high, the development space is relatively large, and the salary level is very high. For example, the country's review of engineering technology is getting higher and higher, so supervision is indispensable in the future trend. At the same time, since engineering supervision is an emerging major, there are many supervisors who have become masters in the market halfway, and there are few professional and excellent supervisors, and this direction has a better prospect.
Fourth, engineering cost direction
The work responsibility of engineering cost is to calculate the project volume of the building based on the given drawings. Based on this, the cost required by the city is calculated through the quota and list of each city. Because its working environment is generally in the office, it has become a popular job search direction for girls in the synchronous engineering major. It takes a lot of energy to learn cumbersome quantity calculation software. However, when the work experience reaches a certain level, the cost skills are becoming more and more skilled, which is very popular in the construction industry.
07 career direction
first, professional palsy rate is high, certificates are very important.
Although this major is very hard-working, which major does not have its own worries? At least civil engineering students have always had an advantage in employment.
The civil engineering major mentioned above is very widely used, and it is not only needed for our common house construction. Bridges and tunnel engineering, geotechnical engineering, highways and urban roads, railway engineering, etc. all require synchronous engineering expertise. With the acceleration of urban construction and the continuous increase in highway construction, the employment situation of synchronous engineering majors continues to rise, and finding a job is not difficult for most civil engineering graduates.
Due to its strong professionalism, it is difficult for people who are not from professional backgrounds to enter this industry, and civil engineering graduates rarely deviate from their industry in terms of employment choices. In previous statistics, civil engineering is one of the several majors with the highest corresponding employment rate. Like many majors with strong practicality, if graduates of the same engineering major want to increase their weight for themselves during the employment process, they must take various professional certificates.
National first and second-level registered architects.
National Registered Civil Engineer .
National first and second grade registered structural engineer .
Many companies will make special marks when recruiting fresh graduates, and those with relevant professional qualification certificates will be given priority.
Second, what is the working environment of the construction unit?
Most undergraduate graduates in synchronous majors will engage in construction. Due to the influence of the overall environment, it is relatively easy to find a job. Because the management and skills of construction do not require high academic qualifications, there are also many demands for construction personnel. It is beneficial to just graduate from the construction industry to engage in construction processes, processes, learning management methods from the front line and turn to design in the future. Then construction experience will also be your valuable asset. Front-line construction experience is an important stage for you to engage in construction unit management or contract projects yourself in the future.
If you are in the construction industry, you are mentally prepared to see if you can withstand more than ten hours of working hours every day. In the high temperature of more than 30℃ in summer, you should climb up and down at home with construction workers, work all night when pouring concrete, and change work locations every year. These are the cruel reality you may face after you engage in the construction industry.
Do you want to continue studying for graduate school?
synchronous engineering is a very application-oriented major. Therefore, undergraduate graduates can accumulate experience and achieve self-improvement when working directly on the front line of construction. If the future goal is to find employment and they are relatively complete, the learning and development speed may be faster than the graduate study. If the future goal is scientific research or the future direction has not been determined, the graduate study is more stable and will also give you more room for choice.
Postgraduate study in civil engineering does not mean doing scientific research, because civil engineering is a highly applicable major, so not all graduate supervisors focus on subject research, and some supervisors will undertake projects like research institutes on the market, so it is particularly important to determine a supervisor in advance based on their own needs when studying for a graduate study.
08 What are the majors related to civil engineering?
First, building environment and energy application engineering
creates a professionalism of warm winter and cool summer.
Building environment, like energy application engineering and civil engineering, relies on basic disciplines such as engineering mechanics , thermodynamics , fluid mechanics, etc., and focuses more on indoor environmental equipment systems in various fields. Its building public facilities systems include HVAC and drainage, gas supply, heat supply and building automation design, installation, debugging operation and management.
Second, Water supply and drainage science and engineering
I am a super plumber.
Students who major in water supply and drainage in civil engineering often claim to be plumbers.
Of course, the major of water supply and drainage science and engineering is far from that simple. This major focuses on urban water supply projects, building water supply and drainage projects, engineering water supply and drainage projects, water pollution control planning, , water resource protection, etc.
Third, building electrical and intelligent
Build a smart city.
Construction appliances and intelligence are professionals that combine civil engineering and electrical engineering. They focus on the design, installation, debugging and operation, supervision and management of the fields of building electrical and intelligent in the construction industry. They combine strong and weak chains with construction equipment and intelligent technology.
In the process of modernization, the concept of smart city came into being. In a sense, smart city is the continuation and expansion of the concept of smart buildings. Imagine that in the future, all smart buildings such as residences, hospitals, stations, banks, schools, supermarkets, shopping centers, etc. will be connected to form smart cities through information networks. These tasks need to be completed by our professional smart building personnel, indicating that smart buildings have extremely broad employment space.
