ENGINEER AND

GLOBALIZATION
ISSUES
 CIVIL ENGINEERS PLAY A CRITICAL
ROLE
1. Use of Recycled Content in
Building materials
. There are fair chances of reusing
steel or brick in building
construction. 3. Definite earthquake resilient structure

Structure has 1 in 1000 possibility of failing under earthquake in the span

2. Zero or Minimal waste of 50 years.

disposal from building

. Majority of waste generated from
the building is paper, plastic and bio
degradable material. Hence the
building should have an integrated
recyclable system.
4. Age of Concrete
Age of Concrete is about 100 years hence any modern
structure will have difficult time to exist for more than a
century.
Whereas structures made of limestone have existed for more
than 5 centuries.
There is possible idea of research in increasing the age of
concrete
 ALL FIELD OF ENGINEERING

1. Impact on ecosystem.
.We have developed so many
luxuries but at the cost of nature.
The power we are using comes from
burning the coal which causes 2. Existence of human race.

Nuclear energy may be one of the greatest discoveries of engineers.

greenhouse effect]
Engineering has the biggest challenge to stop the proliferation of deadly
technologies for the certain of mankind.
.Now the engineers have the biggest
challenge to develop clean and
green energy
3. Sustainable Development.
They have to invent certain
technology which will efficiently
utilize the resources without
compromising the future need.
Resource reduction through 4. Elimination of Diseases.
technology must be accentuated so Genetical and bio medical engineering also have a major role to play in
that our future generation will live saving the human lives.

more comfortably We aren't able to cure a simple viral 'swine flu' or a common acidity
problem.
5. Access to everyone.
.A child living in slum isn't able to use Internet because of high
cost likewise people living in remote villages of African countries
are not getting the benefits of advancement of medical science.
.They are still dying of trivial and small diseases.
.Engineers have the greatest challenge to make it affordable
and accessible to everyone.
