Which school is better for Civil Engineering Texas A&m at College Station or University of Texas at Austin?
January 11th, 2009
Texas A&M is a great university with great school spirit with a great CE program but the campus is not close to any major city. University of Texas is in a great city with great nightlife.
Both have about equal quality programs but I lean slight to Texas A&M.
I suggest you visit both campuses more than once and talk to the professors in the college of civil engineering at both schools and talk to the students of each school. See how much student involvement both schools have when it comes to ASCE chapters and how much support each school gives to the CE department and students. Then see which campus environment you think you will flourish in the best. Also look at the surrounding area and dorms and see where you would like to live for the next 4 years and what kind of people you will be living with for the next 4 years of your college life.
No matter what the rankings, you will get more out of a lower ranked school if you like the environment than a higher ranked school if you are miserable.

Does thermodynamics have any use in civil engineering?
January 5th, 2009
I am wondering if I should take thermodynamics or a technical elective, as now I have found out that the civil engineering department at my school is no longer requiring thermodynamics and will substitute a technical elective to fill in for this requirement. If this is true, then do I really need to take thermodynamics to be a civil engineer?
It does have it's uses in Civil Engineering if you are going to design structures and buildings for extreme environments or if you are going to be a materials tester or a Structural Engineer.
But even at that 90% of what you learn in Thermodynamics you will not use in Civil Engineering. It's best to take an elective and get a book on Thermo and read through it.
