Civil engineering deals with designing, building, and maintaining infrastructure like houses, roads, bridges, tunnels, airports, and water supply systems. A civil engineer is involved in all stages of a project from inception to completion. They are responsible for interacting with clients, inspectors, and contractors, revising drawings, estimating costs, and overseeing construction sites. To be effective, civil engineers must have skills in creativity, data interpretation, communication, risk assessment, and management. Common specializations include structural, environmental, geotechnical, transportation, and water resources engineering.

Civil Engineering

Introduction

Civil engineering is a branch of engineering, it deals with creation,


building, maintenance, design of houses, roads, bridges, tunnels,
airports, ports, systems for water supply, sewage treatment and
dams as well as irrigation projects of canal and channels, its like
any science that develops constantly and without interruption and
has recently developed in a great way to produce new construction
material that meet increasing requirements.
What is it like being
a civil engineer?

Civil engineering is a very


compressing yet fulfilling career, as the engineer is able to work on
a project from its inception right to its completion, when you fly out
of an airport, drive through a tunnel, drive over the bridge, see a
building, visit a museum, civil engineer has had a major part in that
project.

Civil engineers have many responsibilities, interacting with clients,


customers, inspectors, suppliers, vendors, architects, and design
teams, they submit and revise drawings, tendering, looking at
reports, cost estimating, also spend time on visiting construction
sites in all kinds of weather conditions to make sure work is going
smoothly and struggles are resolved.
An effective and successful civil engineer
should possess the following features: -

1. creativity, innovation, and forward thinking.


2. complex data interpretation.
3. communication skills.
4. Risk assessment.
5. Good management.
Finally, Areas of specialization

Students normally choose an area of specialization once they begin


to select their technical complementary courses.
