Civil Engineering

What Is a Civil Engineer?

A civil engineer is a type of engineer who designs and builds public infrastructure projects—things like airports, bridges, buildings, canals, dams, landfills, levees, pipelines, roads, sewers, subways, tunnels, and water supply systems.

Why Choose Civil Engineering?

Civil Engineering is an excellent career choice for those seeking a variety of new projects. It is nice to go home at the end of the day and know that you are designing infrastructure that will be used by millions of people. Civil engineers are often considered quality-of-life engineers because every project (bridges, buildings, roads, clean water supply, etc.) improves humanity’s quality of life.
