    Civil engineering is one of the oldest engineering disciplines, dealing with the built environment including buildings, bridges, roads, railways, airports, water and sewage systems. Civil engineers work in a variety of industries beyond just construction, including aerospace, automotive, and shipbuilding. Their work involves both planning and overseeing construction projects. Civil engineering provides benefits such as field work with varied projects, teamwork, creativity in designs, good pay, and importance to community development through infrastructure systems.

    What Is Civil Engineering?

    Civil engineering is arguably the oldest engineering discipline. It deals with the
    built environment and can be dated to the first time someone placed a roof over
    his or her head or laid a tree trunk across a river to make it easier to get across.
    The built environment encompasses
    much of what defines modern
    civilization. Buildings and bridges are
    often the first constructions that come
    to mind, as they are the most
    conspicuous creations of structural
    engineering, one of civil engineering's
    major sub-disciplines.
    Roads, railroads, subway systems, and
    airports are designed by transportation
    engineers, another category of civil
    engineering. And then there are the
    less visible creations of civil engineers.
    Every time you open a water faucet,
    you expect water to come out,
    without thinking that civil engineers
    made it possible. Similarly, not many
    people seem to worry about what
    happens to the water after it has
    served its purposes. The old civil
    engineering discipline of sanitary
    engineering has evolved into modern
    environmental engineering of such
    significance that most academic
    departments have changed their
    names to civil and environmental
    engineering.
    These few examples illustrate that civil engineers do a lot more than design
    buildings and bridges. They can be found in the aerospace industry, designing
    jetliners and space stations; in the automotive industry, perfecting the
    load-carrying capacity of a chassis and improving the crashworthiness of bumpers
    and doors; and they can be found in the ship building industry, the power industry,
    and many other industries wherever constructed facilities are involved. And they
    plan and oversee the construction of these facilities as construction managers.
    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.
    Benefits of Being a Civil Engineer
    Written by: Ismael Nuunyango

    1. Field Work

    Office time is spent on planning, making appointment and


    meetings. Most of the time, civil Engineers are outdoors at work
    sites monitoring buildings, running projects and tackling project
    issues. They are always on the move and what’s exciting is the
    fact that each project has its own distinct design challenges and
    operational issues. This makes Civil engineering an exciting
    profession as projects vary significantly from one another.
    2. Team Work

    Engineers work closely with contractors, architects and


    construction workers on various projects. This interaction brings
    forth a platform to share knowledge and ideas. Civil Engineers
    are team players and this paves the way to becoming great
    leaders within the community.
    3. Creativity

    Civil Engineers combine strong technical competence with


    creative designing. They take pleasure in establishing creative
    structures coupled with state of the art technology and
    architectural flair. Their line of work requires the knowledge of
    the construction industry, including electrical, plumbing systems
    and functional workings.
    4. Pay

    Engineering is an above average line of work and thus comes


    with a hefty pay check. The rewards are plenty in this line of
    work. Engineers that are more experienced and work on more
    critical projects often make more and this also goes for those in
    management positions. One way to earn a higher pay is to own
    your own company.
    5. Importance

    Engineers use their skills to optimize performance and efficiency


    of community systems. They also develop water and sewer
    systems that balance safety standards with delivery of water and
    sewer processing, which are key functions in city operation and
    residents’ health and comfort. This makes them central figures in
    community development. Without their unique talents,
    communities would not grow and prosper.
