"The Mother Of Engineering"
'Going Green is the Future'.There is no human technological endeavour that does not have contribuitions from civil engineering.For instance,yhe power tower mode of generating elecrticity from solar radiation.so is the cae with the nuclear power,wind,geothermal,wave or tidal.Beyound the energy sector,the transportation sector too depends heavily on civil engineering- be it rail,road,shipping or aviation.
A group of highly regarded civil engineering professionals have recently embarked on an immensely relevant initiative.We are responsible for carrying out a resarch study under the auspices of the Indian Nationla Academy Of Engineering to estimate the demand of civil engineers in the medium term,say in the next10-15 years,and how best to brideg the existing gap between demnad and supply.
With the indian population urbanising so fast,meeting the infrastrucutre demands require civil engineering at its innivative best.Leveraging the essentially free eco-system servicess offered by the biosphere is a amajor thrusst.The emphasis is oninedntificataion and management of natural resource,both biotic and abiotic.
Ïf i have to describe civil engineering in a single phrase.I would say,"Going Green is the Future".We would be contributing our mite to reduce carbon emmisions.These are tha challenges of civil engineering in the years.
"To absorb this investment we need civil engineers.that is what i s on the hhorizon for the profession.while the economic growth/downturn was indeed unfortunate to the global community,civil engineering actually benifited from it.Even as the need to develop the infrastrucutre was felt,it lacked focus on account of fiscal prudence.
