If I asked "How can I become a civil engineer" you wouldn't answer
with "A civil engineer designs bridges and buildings for non-military
use". You'd say "First you get a degree in civil engineering from an
ABET-accredited institution. Then you take the Fundamentals of
Engineering exam. Assuming you pass the exam, you then work for a few
years under a licensed civil engineer. For further questions you can
contact the American Society of Civil Engineers."
And yet with all these qualifications, civil engineers still can't
patch a road without leaving a very noticeable and annoying bump or
dip. :) Looks like processes and qualifications aren't all they are
cracked up to be. :)
Doh! in a city that would governed by "city engineering" departments,
aka road maintenance. The resulting bump or dip the result of a process
that is an art more than science; as you have to overfill the hole or it
will still be a slight dip. As you can see, no one appreciates nor
refines the fine art of filling pot holes in roads anymore :(
