Recommended: Construction industry impact on the environment

The turn point in my career occurred during a conversation with my 10 year old niece about my profession as a construction civil engineer. I was passionate to talk about my career and my role in building skyscrapers, tall office buildings and residential towers. Her innocent comment that engineers replace the green nature with concrete buildings came shocking to me and left me wondering about my role as an engineer in developing environmental friendly constructions and preserving our natural environment. My decision to pursue a Ph.D. in “Infrastructure And Environmental Systems” is my quest for solutions regarding the growing environmental impact resulting from construction field without neglecting the economical challenges. Such a degree will enable me to contribute to my country by introducing the concept of sustainable development; the development that meets the need of the present without compromising the ability of the future generations to meet their own.
During my enrollment at the Lebanese university, I had the opportunity to get exposed to a full range of engineering courses that enhanced my abilities in designing systems with realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, manufacturability and sustainability. Applying theory to real life projects at the end of each course has strengthened my skills in analysis, data interpretation and understanding the impact of engineering solutions in a global and societal context. These projects have been enjoyable and enlightening, providing me with a new and different perspective on the world in which we live.
I believe that the Lebanese University played a fundamental role in preparing me to surpass any obstacle that might face my ambitions. I have successfully com...

  • Civil Engineering Challenges Essay

    1460 Words  | 3 Pages

    The civil engineering field is about gathering and interpreting data, being able to give technical presentations to colleagues, team work to design and build a project, projects range from the design and construction of dams, bridges, buildings, roads, and water supply systems. In most cases the works of engineers are admired and sought after. Engineers play an important role in the development and improvement of a society. Yet, like other technical and non-engineering careers the civil engineers also face issues, for example, regarding ethics, high energy building consumption, increased soil and coastal erosion, inadequate water quality, traffic congestion, and some poor infrastructures resilience to disasters. Another example is that unfortunately in the United Kingdom, the civil engineering industry is highly fragmented with 93% of companies having 14 or fewer employees which is not always a great idea, as written by John Miles in Civil Engineering Informatics. There is also a need to implement new professional and educational approaches to new challenges and new implications that are needed for the twenty-first century society. This paper will introduce and explain five different issues that civil engineers are currently facing and elaborate about how these challenges interrelate to each other.
