From the pyramids of Egypt to the exploration of space, civil engineers have always faced the challenges of the future .Due to advancing civilization and improving our quality of life, today the world is undergoing vast changes. The technological revolution, population growth, environmental concerns and more all create unique challenges. The next decades will be the most creative, demanding and rewarding times for civil engineers and now is the best time to find out if civil engineering is the right career for you. You will be a person who accomplishes things. Service to the community, its development and improvement, is basically what civil engineering is all about. The opportunity for creativity is unlimited.
Being good at math and science certainly helps. However, if you enjoy figuring out solutions to problems and have a strong interest in math and science, that’s a good place to start. Remember that applying math and science to design solutions to real-life problems is nearly always more interesting than textbook work and, even if you are an average student in high school, you may excel in applying these skills.
Construction Engineering – Environmental Engineering – Geotechnical Engineering – Structural Engineering – Transportation Engineering – Urban Development – Water Resources
As a construction engineer, you turn designs into reality. You must manage construction projects so they are built right, completed on time and within budget. You apply your knowledge of construction methods, materials and equipment to turn the designs of other engineers into successful projects.
As an environmental engineer, you develop physical, chemical and biological processes to address environmental concerns. – You may provide safe drinking water, cleanup sites contaminated by hazardous materials, clean up and prevent air pollution, treat wastewater and manage solid wastes.
As a geotechnical engineer, you work to solve design problems related to earth materials. Examples of facilities in the earth are tunnels, deep foundations and pipelines. Highway pavements and buildings are facilities supported on the earth. As a geotechnical engineer, you conduct analyses based on the principles of science and mathematics to design facilities.
As a structural engineer, you design structures that can support their own weight and are safe even during extraordinary events like hurricanes, earthquakes and floods. You develop and use knowledge of the properties and behaviors of steel, concrete, aluminum, timber and plastic as well as new and exotic materials. To make certain that plans for stadiums, skyscrapers, bridges, office buildings and amusement park rides are being followed, you will often be on the construction site inspecting the work.
As a transportation engineer, you determine how to move people, goods and materials safely and efficiently. You design, construct and maintain highways, railroads, airfields and water ports. Your challenge is to find ways to meet increasing travel needs by improving existing transportation methods and discovering new ones.
As a professional in this area, you are concerned with the full development of a community as well as the redevelopment of older communities. You analyze a variety of information to coordinate projects, such as projecting street patterns, identifying park and recreation areas and determining areas for residential and industrial growth. Successful project coordination requires you to be people-oriented as well as technically knowledgeable.
As a water resources engineer, you deal with issues concerning the quality and quantity of water. – You work to prevent floods, supply water for cities, treat wastewater, protect beaches and manage and redirect rivers. – You may be involved in the design, construction or maintenance of hydroelectric power facilities, canals, dams, pipelines, pumping stations, locks or seaport facilities.
Civil Engineering is a wide and foundation branch of all the engineering. This includes the job options on construction site (site work), Design and analysis of structures (office job), government jobs at bridge and railways, highways, water and irrigation, Environmental consultants, Pollution control boards, etc.
