    I recently graduated in Civil Engineering in fall of 2018. I am here to recap while I study for my Fundamental of Engineering exam. I really enjoyed the structure of this video. Using the island as a central example to investigate engineering throughout the ages was a brilliant idea. Thank you for the making of this video.

    I am a graduate of Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering.
    Edit: You have broadly defined 'structural engineering' as focusing more on the design and framework of structures. You have mentioned about Portland cement or cement itself. But what is missing in your discussion of civil engineering is the invention of REINFORCE concrete. Steel bars or steel itself is an integral part of structural engineering.

    Indus Valley Civilization in Indo-Pak region belonging to period from 3300 BCE to 1300 BCE is perfect example to understand civil engineering. Cities of Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro are marvelous example of urban planning with water supply and drain facility and cities divided in blocks - administrative and residential

      That's one way to solve the problem, but there are others. The sound diagram is shaped like a figure-8 on the local map. All you have to do is place the runways, correctly oriented for prevailing winds and topography, in such a way that the noise zones are over industrialized development, waterways, or other such arrangements. Look at urban airports around the country and you'll see this.

    I always thought civil engeneering had more to do with stuff like studying traffic patterns to see if a road needed a new lane or if a whole new road splitting off the first would be better. Or doing stuff like putting the stairs closer to the entrance than the elevator to get people to use the stairs. Stuff like that. Manipulating population behavior through environmental design or designing environments based on population behavior.
