engineering is
concerned with
the overall
interface of
human created
fixed projects
with the greater
world.
Civil engineers work in all levels of government and for a wide variety of industries,
from engineering consulting firms to construction companies. Within the field of civil
engineering itself, there are many specializations that people can choose to follow.
This might include traditional areas such as hydrotechnical, environmental,
geotechnical, construction, structural and transportation engineering. There are
many new areas emerging in civil engineering as well, including composite
materials, environmental risk assessment and management, offshore structural
safety and maintenance, space structures, infrastructure engineering and real-time
condition monitoring.
The possibilities for a dynamic career as a civil engineer are endless. The
increasing awareness of the importance of environmental and social factors,
means that civil engineers must be prepared to solve increasingly complicated
problems while always remaining socially responsible. Society will always need
the skills of civil engineers wherever there are communities to build and
industries to support. In the years to come, civil engineers will be challenged
with how to respond to a growing population, deteriorating infrastructures,
complex environmental issues, and outdated transportation systems, and they
will also need to be proactive in preparing infrastructure for natural disasters.
