Who would be essential when humanity migrates to another planet? The movie *Passengers* (2016) offers some insight. The film is set on the starship Avalon, traveling to the colony planet Homestead II. Since it takes 120 years to reach Homestead II, all crew and passengers aboard Avalon are in hibernation during the journey. The story revolves around one of the 5,000 passengers who wakes up 90 years too early and faces life alone.
The plot focuses on a passenger, played by Chris Pratt, who wakes up 90 years early and must face the situation alone. His character, an electrical engineer, explains his decision to migrate by saying, "Engineers will be in demand and well-respected in a developing world." Just as the movie depicts, the ship carries experts from various professions, like gardeners and childbirth specialists. However, the need for civil engineers on a colony planet will far outweigh that for others.
Who shapes the design of our planet?
Imagine going camping in the mountains or by the sea. If you have enough equipment and food, you could camp for a few days or even weeks. But long-term settlement spanning years or decades demands much more than camping equipment. You'll need homes, facilities to produce food and goods, and roads to connect living areas with commercial and industrial zones. Civil engineers are the professionals who specialize in carrying out these types of construction activities.
Also, MIT course numbers offer insight into why civil engineers should take priority when boarding the spaceship. Course numbers at MIT reflect the order of their introduction: civil engineering comes first as course 1, followed by mechanical engineering at course 2, materials science at course 3, and architectural engineering at course 4. "Civil Engineering" was a term that encompassed all fields of engineering. As technology advanced and engineering fields became diverse and specialized. While materials scientists and chemical engineers will play vital roles on Mars, isn’t it clear that civil engineers are the first priority?
The exact timing of Mars colonization remains uncertain, but once an initial group of 100 settlers lands, it’s likely humanity will follow in large numbers within a few decades. History gives us a precedent: in 1620, the Mayflower transported 102 people from England to Plymouth, and in just 20 years, the population ballooned to 30,000.When will Mars migration really take off?
If you want a discounted ticket to a spaceship bound for Mars, becoming a civil engineer is a smart choice. Special expertise in 3D printing might even land you an extra discount.
