CIE 110: CIVIL ENGINEERING ORIENTATION

Which of the following is NOT a role of civil engineers in the society?

• Provide and maintain solid and waste water disposal system
• Monitor land, water and air pollution and take measures to control them
• Provide telecommunication lines such as software and application
• Conceive, plan, estimate, create and maintain all civil engineering activities

Which of the following is NOT a method used in environmental engineering for sustainability?

• Alternative energy sources like solar power
• Better insulation for energy efficiency
• Building higher skyscrapers
• Plumbing fixtures that use less water

Which of the following is NOT a development of infrastructures?

• Measure and map the earth's surface
• Build river navigation and flood control projects
• Build tanks and dams to exploit water resources
• Purify and supply water to the canals and irrigations

Environmental engineering projects focus on which of the following?

• Improving transportation speed
• Reducing the visual impact of buildings
• Sustaining or improving the environment
• Creating the tallest structures possible

Why is water resources engineering critical for both developed and developing nations?

• It determines the design of roadways
• It ensures safe and adequate drinking water is available
• It focuses on reducing transportation costs
• It only applies to coastal regions

Which of the following is/are TRUE in the following statements? I. Road construction improve overall accessibility and tend to increase economic productivity and development. II. Improved canal facility enhances agricultural products and hence producers are benefited. III. Pollution free environmental conditions through mechanical engineering. IV. Good drainage system and waste disposal system for human safety and health.

• I and III
• II and IV
• I and IV
• II and III

Statement 1: Civil engineer specializes in road, bridge, buildings and water supply system design and construction. Statement 2: Civil engineer designs and develops electronic equipment, including broadcast and communications system, such as portable music players.

• Both statements are true
• Both statements are false
• Only statement 1 is true
• Only statement 2 is true

Statement 1: Civil engineer initiates and creates the design, including the shape, color and spaces of the development work. Focuses more on the spatial functionality and aesthetics of the development work and is more concerned with the artistry, look, feel and functionality of the design. Statement 2: Civil engineer ensures that every structure built is environmentally compliant and can withstand earthquakes and hurricanes.

• Both statements are true
• Both statements are false
• Only statement 1 is true
• Only statement 2 is true

Statement 1: Civil engineer must be up to date on all regulations both for the construction process and for the resulting product. Statement 2: Civil engineer supervises and directs construction teams and works with other professionals.

• Both statements are true
• Both statements are false
• Only statement 1 is true
• Only statement 2 is true

What will happen to world if there are no civil engineers?

• Only skyscrapers and large dams would be affected, while other infrastructure would remain unaffected and continue to operate as usual.
• There would be no noticeable impact since modern technology can automate all civil engineering processes without human intervention.
• Infrastructure such as roads, bridges, and buildings would deteriorate or fail to be properly constructed, leading to significant safety and functionality issues.
• The world would continue to function smoothly as other types of engineers could easily take over civil engineering tasks without any specialized knowledge.
