In her first job, Thumela worked for a big construction company. Most of the ci
of the civil engineers there were men. These men were not happy to have her on site because they thought she could not do the job. She had to work extra hard to make them respect her. Luckily, one of the engineers treated her differently. William supported her while she learned, and helped her when she made mistakes. He helped her build up her confidence to start her own company. Thumela calls William her mentor.
Civil engineering is a tough job, but Thumela loves it. She has a lot of responsibility. She has to make sure she finishes the job on time and without spending more money than the client can afford.
William interviewed Thumela to introduce her to us. Figure 1 Meet Thumela 10 Topic 1 Design process ess

William: Did you always want to be a civil engineer? Thumela: No! I did not know anything about civil engineering before I applied to University. At school my teachers did not think it was a good career for women, so they never told us about it.

TOPIC 1 Design process
The design process changes ideas into products or services to meet a need or a want. It is planned, careful and flexible. The design process uses creativity for a purpose. It is not random or chaotic. Sometimes the design process is shown as steps that follow each other. Sometimes the steps are jumbled up.

UNIT 1 Understanding structures
In this unit you will: identify types of structures
Definition and purpose of a structure New word
structure: something that is made of many parts, such as a building
A structure is something that consists of many parts held together in a specific way. We see and use many different types of structures every day, each with its own function. Structures give us shelter, span gaps and support loads. Structures include things like bridges, electricity towers, traditional huts and high-rise buildings. Some structures are old and famous like the Great Zimbabwe ruins and the Egyptian pyramids. Others are new like the Nelson Mandela Bridge in Johannesburg and the Cape Town Stadium in Green Point.
Classification of structure
There are two different types of structure in the table below: natural structures and man-made structures. Structures that have been constructed by human beings are also known as artificial structures. Structures that occur naturally with no human interference are known as natural structures.
