Environmental law means the laws that regulate the impact of
human activities
on the environment which covers a broad range of activities that
affect air,
water, land, flora or fauna. It includes laws that relate to land
use and
development, pollution, waste management, climate change, emissions
and
water resource management. Conclude SIX (6) general functions of
most
environmental laws.

a) differentiate quality from quality assurance.
b) Suppliers should be chosen with the sole aim of maximum value for the company. Courtesy and equitable dealings with sales representatives create goodwill and establish. State and explain six categories of electronic commerce business models that could be used.
c) If standards are to be maintained in the Industry it is essential that those associated with construction must be provided with knowledge and mental skills. Suitable education to this end is therefore necessary and is divided into two parts; Technical Education and Practical Education. Project management is one aspect of Technical Education. For that matter, discuss the relevance of project management and narrow down to four importance of it as a profession.

In comparing probability distributions, which of the following statements is TRUE?
Select one:
1. The geometric and Poisson distributions have the
lack of memory property.
2. The exponential and Poisson distributions are interchangeable
because they have the exact same
random variable.
3. The geometric and negative binomial distributions both have a random number of trials.
4. The uniform and normal distributions have the same distribution shapes.
5. The Poisson distribution is the limiting form of the negative binomial distribution.

A quarter circle of radius 100 mm lies on Quadrant II of a
coordinate plane with
reference radius at the origin. A rectangle is attached to the
quarter circle at Quadrant I
with base at the x-axis of width equal to 25 mm and height same as
the radius of the
quarter circle. Another rectangle with inverse dimension as the
previous is attached to the
quarter circle at Quadrant III.
a. What is the moment of inertia (m4) of the composite area with

respect to the y-axis at point O?
c. What is the polar moment of inertia (m4) of the composite
area?
d. What is the centroidal moment of inertia (m4) of the composite
area?

Choose an environmentally unsustainable industrial practice. Briefly define and explain your chosen unsustainable industrial practice. Then, use three green engineering principles to mitigate the effects of this practice on the environment. For each green engineering principle, you should articulate how each principle can mitigate the environmental effects of the chosen unsustainable practice.
Principles:
Designers need to strive to ensure that all material and energy inputs and outputs are as inherently non-hazardous as possible
It is better to prevent waste than to treat or clean up waste after it is formed
Separation and purification operations should be a component of the design framework
System components should be designed to maximise mass, energy and temporal efficiency
System components should be output pulled rather than input pushed through the use of energy and materials
Embedded entropy and complexity must be viewed as an investment when making design choices on recycle, reuse or beneficial disposition
Targeted durability, not immortality, should be a design goal
Design for unnecessary capacity or capability should be considered a design flaw. Including ‘one fits all’ solutions
Multi-component products should strive for material unification to promote disassemble and value retention (minimise material diversity)
Design of processes and systems must include integration and interconnectivity with available energy and material flows
Performance metrics include designing for performance in commercial ‘after-life’
Design should be based on renewable and readily available inputs

a) In order to meet the industrial and environmental demands and challenges posed by the rapidly developing technological advancement, and promotion of sanity in the country, and in the world at large, it is necessary to create and develop the awareness and interest of Civil Engineering students who are to become the future middle level manpower in the Construction Industry. According to Harris et al (2006:13), quality control is “a set of activities or techniques undertaken to ensure that all quality requirements are being met”. In order to achieve this purpose, processes are monitored. Coin a comprehensive definition of quality control to this effect.
b) Civil Engineering students are introduced to the principles and importance of quality control. Effectiveness of quality control in any given company cannot be quantified by customers. The variability of quality control results often lead to the loss of competitive edge. If this is limitation, then explain.
c) Administration and site work during a contract can be divided into many important areas which require some degree of control, the ultimate responsibility for which lies with the site manager. Examine the various aspects in a building project where quality could be determined.. AN,
