Civil engineering dates back to the beginnings of humanity, though it wasn’t known as “civil engineering” back then.
From using caves as shelter to crossing rivers using logs,[1] early innovations laid the foundations for a field that now plays an active role in the architectural, city planning and development, aerospace, automotive, and power industries, among others.[2]
This work became known as “civil engineering” in the 1700s when engineer John Smeaton coined the phrase to differentiate his civilian-focused work from military engineering.
Smeaton and some industry pals formed the Smeatonian Society of Civil Engineers.[3] Clearly, Mr. Smeaton knew the importance of an impactful name!
Your civil engineering group name should reflect your field but also be catchy and exciting.
