Civil Engineering is a people serving profession and as such is vital to the world’s economic, political, and social well-being. The many areas to which civil engineers make substantial contributions include bridges, dams and levees, harbors, waterways and irrigation facilities, building, airports, highways, pipelines, railroads, power lines, water supply systems and waste treatment facilities. Civil engineers engage in a wide range of activities such as research, design, development, management, and the control of engineering systems and their components. With today’s fast-paced technological changes, civil engineering provides unique and unlimited career opportunities that can only be met by professionally educated people.
