Articles Evaluation
Here I am going to make important notes and evaluate articles on three different topics.

John Charles Lounsbury Fish
Nationality: American Alma Mater: Cornell University Fields: Civil Engineering -Professor of Civil Engineering, Emeritus, at the School of Engineering, Stanford University. -Known for his works and publications on the following sectors: Railroad, Earthwork, Economic Distribution, Technique of Surveying, Engineering Economics and many more -John Charles Fish provided the critical bridge between the pioneering effort of Arthur M. Wellington in his engineering economics work of the 1870s and the first publication of the "Principles of Engineering" in 1930 by Eugene L. Grant.

Evaluation: Not enough information. I'd try to have a good research on his publications and write about how it has helped the civil engineering industry

National Academy of Engineering
- National Academy of Engineers (NAE), an American non-profit governmental organization, founded on 1964. - Part of National Academics of Sciences, Engineering, and medicine. -Operates engineering programs aimed at meeting national needs, encourages education and researches -Formally the members needed to be US citizens. "Foreign associate" is applied to the non-citizens who are elected to NAE. -NAE awards several prizes, they include $500,000 prize. They are referred to the American version of "Nobel Prize" for engineering -Prizes: Gordon Prize: purpose is to recognize leaders in academia for the development of new educational approaches to engineering. Russ Prize: "has had a significant impact on society and has contributed to the advancement of the human condition through widespread use". Charles Stark Darper Prize: given for advancement of engineering and the education of the public about engineering

Evaluation: Very well written. Would be awesome if the recent activities and works of NEA were listed and described or information on how young civil engineers can be a part of NAE.

Engineering Economics
-Engineering economics is a subset of economics that relates to engineering. -Studies the behavior of individual engineers and engineering firms in making better financial decisions and adequately allocating the limited resources. -Integrates economic theory with engineering practice. -One of the main curricula in Civil Engineering. The topic is required in [| Fundamentals of Engineering] examinations. -Some topics in Engineering economics: Inflation,uncertainty, replacements,depreciation,taxes,cost estimating,capital financing,etc. Evaluation: Very well written. A little bit of problem in the structure of the article. I'd love if there were subsections and the information about a specific topic and related information in a specific subheading.
