Civil Engineering

Civil engineering is arguably the oldest engineering discipline. It is a field focused on designing and constructing the environments in which humans live. Civil engineers typically focus on large construction projects such as buildings, roads, bridges, subway systems, dams, and water supply networks. Math, physics, and design are essential areas of knowledge in the field. Civil engineering has been around since the time civilizations started constructing infrastructure, huts, monuments, and such structures. The civil engineering industry has massively evolved over the course of time. From building unstable huts and muddy pathways, humans have come around to building complicated structures like bridges, dams, canals, express highways, palaces, wondrous monuments, and much more.

SCOPE OF CIVIL ENGINEERING

Well-qualified civil engineers are in high demand by various public and private sector companies. With innumerable advancements in infrastructure and private sector construction, more and more civil engineers are being recruited in both these sectors. Civil engineers do a lot more than design buildings and bridges. They can be found in the aerospace industry, automotive industry, shipbuilding industry, power industry, and many other industries wherever constructed facilities are involved. Civil engineering is an exciting profession because, at the end of the day, you can see the results of your work, whether this is a completed bridge, a high-rise building, a subway station, or a hydroelectric dam. Besides aspiring for a well-paying job you can also establish your engineering consultancy where you can be your boss and offer your services to companies that approach you for your expertise.
