work; contacts with governmental agencies to obtain permits and documents; and other services
related to project development.
7. Assessment of a completed project’s ability to meet its design intent relative to
capacity,maintainability, operability, or reliability.
8. Computer simulation and modeling.
2.1 ENGINEERING SUPPORT SERVICES
The professional services described above often require engineering support services. Geotechnical
engineering, for example, frequently requires services such as taking soil and rock borings, excavating
test pits sampling and identifying soil and earth materials, field and laboratory tests and geophysical
measurements and observations. The engineering support services in general civil engineering practice
may involve drafting, land and construction surveying, and other data gathering activities for specialized
purposes. Although persons who are not Civil Engineers sometimes accomplish some of these tasks, the
procurement of adequate and correct data usually requires professional Civil Engineering judgement and
guidance. Since soundness of any engineering decision is dependent upon the accuracy and suitability of
data obtained in field and laboratory investigations these supporting services must be under the guidance
of the Civil Engineer whose decisions will be based upon those data.
2.2 ACADEMIC SERVICES
These services involve full or part tie teaching or training of prospective professionals and also the
upgrading of knowledge and skills of fellow professionals. Academic services may include:
a. Teaching of civil engineering courses in engineering colleges/universities on part/full time basis.
As per RA 8981, all subjects for licensure examinations shall be taught by persons who are
holders of valid certificates of registration/professional licenses and professional identification
cards, or special temporary permits, or a valid certificate of competency for the profession issued
by the Commission, and who comply with the other requirements by the CHED.
b. Lecturing in civil engineering courses designed by the Philippine Institute of Civil Engineers for
practicing engineers who want to obtain CPD credits.
