A melodic phrase espoused by S. K. M.

Civil Engineering and Mining Engineering are alike

    Stability of excavated underground structures are common heritage  

       of mining engineering (ca. 5000 BC), older than civil engineering.

 

Civil Engineers MAKE STRUCTURES by CONSTRUCTION,              Mining Engineers MAKE STRUCTURES by EXTRACTION
