About Civil Engineering specialized fields
Civil engineering includes the planning, designing, construction, and maintenance of structures and altering geography to suit human needs.
Among the numerous fields in civil engineering we can mention: transportation (railroad facilities and highways); hydraulics (river control, irrigation, swamp draining, water supply, and sewage disposal); and structures (buildings, bridges, and tunnels).
Civil Engineering fields also include the following specializations:
Structural engineering
Geotechnical engineering
Environmental engineering
Transportation engineering
Construction engineering
Earthquake engineering
Environmental engineering
Geotechnical engineering
Water resources engineering
Materials engineering
Structural engineering
Transportation engineering
What is Civil Engineering?
Civil engineering involves the planning, designing laying out and constructing of buildings, railroads, highways, bridges, tunnels. They also work closely with architects and environmental engineers.
What does a Civil Engineer do?
Since civil engineering is very broad, civil engineering jobs are dependent on each chosen specialization taken by the engineer at University.
For civil engineering specializations there are usually three functions that are performed by the civil engineer:
WHAT IS CIVIL ENGINEERING?
Civil engineering is a professional engineering discipline that deals with the design, construction and maintenance of the physical and naturally built environment, including works such as bridges, roads, canals, dams and buildings. Civil engineering is the oldest engineering discipline after military engineering, and it was defined to distinguish non-military engineering from military engineering. It is traditionally broken into several sub-disciplines including environmental engineering, geotechnical engineering, structural engineering, transportation engineering, municipal or urban engineering, water resources engineering, materials engineering, coastal engineering, surveying, and construction engineering. Civil engineering takes place on all levels: in the public sector from municipal through to federal levels, and in the private sector from individual homeowners through to international companies
