Civil engineering technology : Special Report
|
|
While it seems we've come a long way from the days of hand drafting plans, slide rules, and even basic CAD, just how far have we come? With that question looming, the editors of CE News set out to determine "the state of practice" of civil engineering technology, specifically exploring the use of 3-D models for civil engineering, GPS machine control, GIS for civil engineering, and 3-D laser scanning. Using an independent, online survey, CE News has uncovered a wealth of information about the use of these various technologies, their benefits and consequences, and the industry's perception for their future use. Armed with this knowledge, civil engineers can make informed decisions about what their competitors are doing, how they can serve clients better, and how they can position themselves to succeed in the near future.
