Today, civil engineers explore the frontiers of high technology for solutions to global needs. They deal with the techniques of modern computer-integrated design, as well as conduct research for new methods and materials of construction. They design and conduct experiments to study the wind effects on tall buildings and the hydrodynamic effects on offshore structures. They use computer simulations to predict hydrologic events, assess flood damage, and manage transportation systems. They employ computers to monitor treatment facilities, lasers for precision surveying, and remote sensing technologies for geodetic surveying. The civil engineers of tomorrow will explore the frontiers of space, mine the moon, and build space habitats where people will work and live.
