Civil Engineer
Civil engineering is a branch profession of engineering. Civil engineering are involved with various types of infrastructures for example, designing and maintaining buildings and the the designing and maintain of infrastructure can happen in rural and urban areas. A basic list of tasks a civil engineer can include:

- undertaking technical and feasibility studies including site investigations
- using a range of computer packages for developing detailed designs
- undertaking complex and repetitive calculations
- liaising with clients and a variety of professionals including architects and subcontractors
- compiling job specs and supervising tendering procedures
- resolving design and development problems
- managing budgets and project resources
- scheduling material and equipment purchases and deliveries
- making sure the project complies with legal requirements

Hermann Kemper
Hermann Kemper was born on April 5, 1892 in Nortrup, Germany. For Kemper's scientific achievements, he was awarded with the great Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany in 1972. Five years later, Kemper died on July 13, 1977.
Hermann Kemper left a legacy behind after he died, inventors considered him as the "father of the basic magnetic levitation concept", an idea that developed into a high speed rail in our modern day. After about 10 years of researching from 1922 to 1933, Kemper successfully created a technical idea for a floating vehicle based on the principles of electromagnetic attractions and repulsion. His success regarding magnetic levitation was the foundation to greater success such as the magnetic levitation train, a technology that is based off the idea of electromagnetic attractions and repulsion. Kemper influenced the creation of the maglev train by providing the basic principles on how the forces of attraction and repulsion can make something levitate with just the use of magnetic fields. This idea manifested into a bigger picture where other scientists innovated his ideas and created larger scale models, designs and so on. This eventually led to the creation of the new transportation technology (EDS and EMS), the magnetic levitation train.
