UNSW Civil and Environmental Engineering Society (CEVSOC)’s Post

Construction education at colleges and universities in the United States has undergone significant transformations since 1974, adapting to the changing needs of the industry and advancements in construction practices, technology, and sustainability. https://lnkd.in/g26RFsCZ

Thanks CSU Civil and Environmental Engineering for the award and for the last 5 years !!

"The Future of Construction: Sustainable Practices" Текст: "In my 20 years in civil engineering, I've witnessed remarkable changes in construction methodologies. But what excites me the most is the shift towards sustainable construction. From using eco-friendly materials to implementing energy-efficient designs, the potential for positive impact is immense. I'm keen to hear from my peers: How are you integrating sustainability into your projects?"

Calling All Civil Engineers: Unveiling the 2024 Top Smart Cities for Infrastructure Innovation! Civil engineers, are you looking for inspiration for the future of urban development? Look no further! The renowned IESE Business School has just released its 2024 ranking of the world's top 10 smart cities. This year's list focuses on metropolises leading the way in cutting-edge civil engineering and sustainable infrastructure solutions. Dive into which cities are: Implementing groundbreaking smart transportation networks Constructing resilient and sustainable buildings and architecture Utilizing innovative materials and technologies for infrastructure development In this post, we'll be dissecting the IESE Top 10 Smart Cities of 2024 through a civil engineer's lens, exploring: The specific infrastructure projects that make these cities stand out How these projects are addressing challenges like sustainability and urban growth Engineering solutions that can be adapted and implemented in other cities Get ready to discover the future of civil engineering in action! #IESE #SmartCities #CivilEngineering #Infrastructure #Sustainability #UrbanDevelopment

Cheers to the 31% who blazed through this week's GWES Engineering Trivia! Your understanding of the open road is paving the way for success. This week’s question was: Which highway is recognized as the widest in the world? A) Autobahn, Germany B) Katy Freeway, USA C) Pan-American Highway D) Beijing's 5th Ring Road Engineering Survey Says… B) Katy Freeway, USA The Katy Freeway in Houston, Texas, holds the title for the widest highway in the world. With sections measuring up to 26 lanes across, including main lanes, feeder roads, and HOV (High Occupancy Vehicle) lanes, it exemplifies monumental infrastructure designed to accommodate heavy traffic flow. The freeway's expansion, completed in 2008, aimed to alleviate congestion in one of Houston's busiest corridors. This engineering marvel reflects the complexities and scale involved in urban planning and road construction to meet the demands of modern transportation. For those fascinated by the engineering behind the Katy Freeway and other grand-scale infrastructure projects, explore further through these resources: Texas Department of Transportation: https://www.txdot.gov/ American Society of Civil Engineers: https://www.asce.org/ Federal Highway Administration: https://highways.dot.gov/ Stay tuned for more trivia that ventures into the world of civil engineering and infrastructure next week! Don’t forget to use the hashtags to share your insights and challenge your peers. Delve into the engineering feats that shape our daily commutes and global connectivity!

🌊🌊🌊Happy #FlumeFriday! Wave flume testing is the best way to verify or optimise the design of coastal structures under extreme conditions such as tropical cyclones. It is also a very powerful tool to assist in visualising complex wave process like overtopping.   This video is taken from the point of view of someone standing on the crest of a breakwater looking at waves created by a Category 5 cyclone! 🎥 François Flocard | UNSW | UNSW Engineering | UNSW Civil and Environmental Engineering | #CoastalEngineering #Cyclone

After a few weeks of intense work, my honours project is taking shape. I have worked hard on my SDF construction pipeline, and now I can build much larger, more complicated objects that previously would have been impossible. Here's a video showing how it works: https://lnkd.in/emhCtdFk
