Question

Why is it important for engineers particularly civil engineers to know the properties

of matter?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The knowledge of properties of matter is important to engineers especially to civil engineers (and anybody who is working with matter). The properties on interest, typically, include melting point, boiling point, density, mass, volume, shape, electrical conductivity, heat conductivity, reactivity with other substances (including water, acids, bases, etc.). All applications of matter are dependent on their properties.
