What is to invent, to create, or to regulate?
The word "engineering" comes from the Latin term, "ingenerare", which means this.
|
What is construction engineering?
This is the discipline of civil engineering that deals with the designing, planning, and management of infrastructure.
|
What is earth?
The word "geo" means this.
|
What is a transportation system?
This is a network used to transport people and/or goods.
|
What is sustainability?

|
|
What is a civil engineer?
This is a professional who improves the quality of life through the production of infrastructure and common utilities.
|
What is a construction manager?
This person is a cross between a civil engineer and a supervisor.
|
What is geotechnical engineering?
This branch of civil engineering is concerned with engineering behavior of earth materials.
|
What are [roads, ports, railways, pipe lines, waterways]?
Name three types of transportation systems.
|
What are [saving energy, recycling, reducing pollution, saving space in landfills]?
Name two ways we can move toward being sustainable.
|
|
What are [bridges, dams, buildings, roads, tunnels etc.]?
These are three common structures that civil engineers build.
|
What are [buildings, heavy construction/highway, mechanical, electrical]?
Name two types of construction projects that we discussed in the lesson.
|
What is soil?
Geotechnical engineers test this material by drilling into the ground, collecting samples, and taking it to the lab to test for moisture content and strength.
|
What is a transportation engineer-in-training?
This is a person who performs introductory work assignments under the supervision of a professional engineer.
|
What are glass and metal?
These two materials can be recycled over and over.
|
|
What is a triangle?
This shape is the strongest one to use in a bridge design because it allows for the transfer of the load from a single point to a wider area.

Name three projects that are examples of heavy construction projects.
|
What are [roads, bridges, buildings, excavations, drilling, any type of construction]?
Name three projects that are examples of geotechnical engineering work.
|
What are [pavement, barriers, bridges, canals, pipes, rails, traffic signals, vehicles, stations, terminals]?
Name three components that make up transportation systems.
|
What is environmental engineering?
This discipline of civil engineering deals with sustainable practices and creating clean air and water.
|
|
What are [arch, cantilever, truss, beam, suspension]?
Name three of the five common types of bridges.
|
What is [create a blueprint, review land maps, compile a formal report with deadlines, costs, and needed materials]?

|
What are arch, buttress, embankment, and gravity?
Name the four types of dams that you created in the four corners reservoir activity.
|
What is a professional transportation engineer?
This is a professional who has a minimum of four years of experience in a discipline such as bridge design, highway construction, or traffic engineering.
|
