1) Aggeliki, K. (2011, March). History of Civil Engineering. Retrieved from http://www.brighthubengineering.com/building-construction-design/41552-history-of-civil-engineering/

The author shows a brief history about civil engineering in the world. She starts showing when civil engineering arose in 4000 BC in Egypt and its development until today. 

2) Boles, W. W., & Wang, J. (1996, January). Construction Automation and Robotics in Civil Engineering Education Programs. Journal of Professional Issues in Engineering Education & Practice, 122.

The Authors explain how useful and important for civil engineering if it starts using robotics and automation process. They talk that class about robotics and automation process should be taught in universities to give the knowledge about this subject. They show how would be the courses in different degrees with this class such as undergraduate, graduate, etc.

3) Larsen-Basse, J., and Chong, K. P. (2005). “Nanomaterials in construction and rehabilitation:   Contributions and perspectives of the U.S. National Science Foundation.” Proc., 2nd Int. Symp. on Nanotechnology in Construction, Centre for Nanomaterials Applications in Construction, Bilbao, Spain.

The author talk about the benefits of use of nanotechnology in civil engineering. They give examples of building materials that can be improved if we use nanotechnology. Using this technology, we can replace some building materials for others with better quality, durability and low costs.

4) Russell, J. S. (2013, June). Shaping the Future of the Civil Engineering Profession. Journal of       Construction Engineering & Management, 139.

The author talk about the future of civil engineering in the world. He shows new perspectives for professionals and what will be require for civil engineers to they become successful. Russell talk that perspectives about business and entrepreneurship will be very important for civil engineers.
