Using Microsoft Excel in Civil Engineering

Microsoft Excel consider as most common tool in engineering. If you are a studying or civil engineer then you probably work with lots of data, mostly numerical data, for calculations in your projects, such as;

Hydrology: Calculation and analysis with Hydrographs.

Environmental Engineering:  Population analyzing and forecasting.

Transportation Engineering: Analyzing traffic data and applying.

Surveying:  Calculating and analyzing levels and bearings

Quantity Surveying & Estimation:   Easy and faster preparation of BOQ

Reinforced Concrete Design:  Reinforce Design of Concrete mix and structural members.

Microsoft Excel is now consider as a standard in transferring, conveying, calculating, computing and analyzing data for engineering designs, methods and costs. Flexibility, Prevalence and Integration, these three is most reason for being the must-be-install software in most of the civil engineers and civil engineering students. For the engineers to keep up with modern data and information technology and remain competitive.
