With the previous discussion on the history and background of civil engineering, what other structures you can consider which you think have a remarkable connotation in terms of infrastructure development in your community? Why did you say so? Provide illustrations (photos) of chosen structures.

Located in Cabagan, Isabela, it covers four lanes stretching from Barangay Ngarag to Ugad, Cabagan. It just recently opened to motorists last year and is expected to reduce traffic congestion. It also lessens 20 minutes of travel time from surrounding municipalities to the City of Ilagan. Unlike major roads, the Cabagan bypass road has bicycle lanes and lay-by areas to ensure safety among drivers and cyclists. It just not hosts infrastructure development in nearby communities but also has a long-lasting impact on industrial development by generating jobs for Cabagueños. As Isabela is an agricultural province and a major producer of corn, transporting products would be easier through the Cabagan bypass road. Truly, the creation of infrastructure just like this will provide ease and progress not just in a community but throughout the country. 1|Page Name: Bautista, Ardent B.

Please turn in as printed page at the beginning of the next class. a. Who? b. Where he/she educated? c. Where he/she worked? d. What great things (discoveries, inventions, projects, etc.) he/she did? Being a great civil engineer cannot be measured by the numerous projects you've done or handled but by having good qualities, being flexible in the industry, and not losing the drive of constant learning. Engr. Melmar Bulan, 25, embodies these characteristics that I look forward on a civil engineer and who inspired me to take this course. Engr. Bulan took his bachelor's degree in civil engineering at the University of Saint LouisTuguegarao way back 2019 and took and passed the board exam in the same year. He is now working at Loxford Wandset Incorporated, a company specialized in glass and aluminum works for high-rise buildings' facades, as an internal coordinator in its business development department. He is the one who communicates with the clients on the design and details as a representative of their team. His work showcases the diverse work of a civil engineer and how important it is to develop one's organizational and communication skills. Also, as an engineer, constant learning is essential in honing one's skills and capabilities. For this reason, Engr. Bulan currently takes his master's degree major in construction engineering and management at the Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila. Indeed, a great engineer must have first great qualities and start at the bottom to climb the ladder of greatness. Engr. Melmar Bulan Civil Engineer 2|Page Name: Bautista, Ardent B.
