    The document discusses environmental ethics in civil engineering programs and their impact on students' knowledge, skills, attitudes, and values. A survey of 260 students and 42 professors at universities in Puno, Peru found that while students have a medium level of environmental knowledge and skills, their attitudes and values toward the environment are high. However, professors only moderately integrate environmental themes into their teaching. The document calls for establishing explicit environmental policies and curricula to ensure future civil engineers uphold environmental commitments in their projects.

    CIVIL ENGINEERING

    AND ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE

    1.Give the environmental ethics.


    The objective of the study is to analyze the level of environmental education and ethics in civil
    engineering programs in order to propose transversal contents within the curriculum. To evaluate the
    presence of environmental issues, a Likert scale questionnaire was applied to 260 students and a
    dichotomous scale to 42 professors and directors of universities in the Puno region. The results
    indícate that the students have a medium level of environmental ethics in knowledge and skills, while
    in attitudes and values they have a high level. Regarding the application of the environmental theme
    by the professors, there is a medium level in the physical, pedagogical and didactic areas and a high
    level in the academic area; consequently, it is necessary to establish environmental policies explicitly
    in the strategic plans and study curricula so that future professionals assume their environmental
    commitment at the time of executing civil infrastructure projects.

    ECOSYSTEM-
     Ecosystem Engineer->Structural change->abiotic change->Biotic change
    The physical ecosystem engineering process can be defined as the following: Organismally caused,
    structurally mediated changes in the distribution, abundance, and composition of energy and
    materials in the abiotic environment arising independent or irrespective of changes due to
    assimilation and dissimilation.

    BIODIVERSITY
    Biodiversity is a broad term for biological variety, and it can be measured at a number of
    organizational levels. Traditionally, ecologists have measured biodiversity by taking into account both
    the number of species and the number of individuals in each of those species. However, biologists are
    using measures of biodiversity at several levels of biological organization (including genes,
    populations, and ecosystems) to help focus efforts to preserve the biologically and technologically
    important elements of biodiversity.

    2.What effects has human civilization had on our environment?


    Humans impact the physical environment in many ways: overpopulation, pollution, burning fossil
    fuels, and deforestation. Changes like these have triggered climate change, soil erosion, poor air
    quality, and undrinkable water.

    3.
    Civil engineers build the buildings that society uses on a daily basis for living, working, and
    transportation, including highways, bridges, airports, and water treatment facilities. Environmental
    engineers create tools and procedures to address issues with the environment.

    4. How Civil Engineers Help Protect the Environment


     Reduces carbon footprint of communities and individual businesses.
     Creates resilient communities.
     Preserves fresh water resources.
     Ensures EPA regulations are followed.
     Results in environmentally efficient buildings (solar, wind, “green” building materials).

    5. Give some elements that will affect the environment


    Civil engineers manage our air, water, and energy resources and protect society from natural
    catastrophes, such as earthquakes, and the hazards society itself generates in the form of toxic wastes

    6. Purpose / Goals of civil engr. to environment/people


    The goal of environmental engineering is to ensure that societal development and the use of water, land
    and air resources are sustainable. This goal is achieved by managing these resources so that
    environmental pollution and degradation is minimized.
