Slowly, society has been making a slight transition away from stereotyping. Unfortunately it is a difficult process, especially since we rely on second-hand sources for our information for the majority of our knowledge. The main outlet of second-hand information is the mass media(7).
Applied Mathematics. Civil engineering coursework involves the application of mathematical principles and skills to real world problems. Classes such as structural analysis examine structures like trusses, beams and frames, and concepts like virtual work, energy methods and influence lines.
