The goal is to develop technologies to enhance the operation capabilities of civil engineers responsible for civil engineering. It will contain the capacity for handling civil engineering databases, build a basis for civil engineering information sharing for design, construction and managements, and provide data analysis, design, and CAD to increase efficiency and reduce operating costs, and so on. Digitalization to Civil Engineering COMPUTER APPLICATIONS The computer has become a valuable tool for problem solving, ranging from performing simple tasks, to complex problems which could not be solved without the computers speed and efficiency. Despite their reputation, computers cannot think on their own, or provide solutions without an explicit set of instructions. Digitalization to Civil Engineering COMPUTER APPLICATIONS This is done through the use of programming languages such as FORTRAN, PASCAL, C, C++, etc. The compiler then translates these English-like expressions to machine language, which the computer understands. Generally, the instructions that form any given language are not difficult to learn, but requires precise use of these instructions, and an understanding of the most efficient way to accomplish any given task. Digitalization to Civil Engineering COMPUTER APPLICATIONS The computer has opened the door to a host of projects that could not be done without the computers computational speed. Some of the most advanced military and commercial aircraft are now designed entirely on the computer and the high cost of wind tunn
