CIVIL ENGINEERING
Alec Hammond is a student who is doing a degree at the University of Edinburgh the Department of Architecture. Jane Foster is a high school student who wants to go to college and follow a career in Civil engineering. She wants to know how the course is organized and what job opportunities she can get after graduation.
J: You're doing an HND in Civil engineering. How long does the course last?
A: It's a two-year course.
J: Why did you decide to do this course?
A: I left school at seventeen and started off as an Architectural Technician and...
J: What did that involve, being an Architectural Technician?
A: Doing all the technical drawings for the architects, things like that. We used a program called Autocad.
J:And what took you into that line of business?
A: Well, I was interested in architecture. My best subject at school, the one I enjoyed most, was Graphic communication. I decided to try to get a career using that. So, I went into an architect's office and was there for four years before I decided to start my HND.
J: Which subject appeals to you most?
A: Erm, the Theory of structures. I really enjoy it.
J:What do you like about it?
A: I like the maths and physics side of it, how the structure actually works.
J: Is any of the work in the lab?
A: We've got Materials this semester. We're in the lab every week - testing concrete and that sort of thing. On Fridays, there's Project work from 11.15 for most of the day. I've been at a structural engineering company learning how a civil engineering project is run.
J: What's the company working on?
A:They're turningan old office buildingintoa nightclub, restaurant, and five-star hotel. It's interesting to get on site and to speak to the engineers.
J: What's Complex communications on Wednesday?
A: Before and after lunch? It's about language. You have to pick something to do with engineering and write a report about it. Then present it to the other students.
J:What have you chosen?
A: I'm doing a project on a new bridge over the Forth, right here in Scotland. There's a lot of public opposition.
J: Do we need a new bridge?
A: Yes, the research I've done shows the present bridge is carrying ten times the amount of traffic it was designed for.
J: When you start work as a Civil Engineer, what do you want to build – houses or big structures like bridges and roads?
A: I'm more interested in the big structures like bridges.
J:You may have to go overseas for that.
A: That's one reason why I chose this career.
