In Civil Engineering you deal with the design, construction, and maintenance of the physical and naturally built environment, including works like roads, bridges, canals, dams, and buildings.
Education information:
- As technology is growing programs are beginning to require the computer-aided design (CAD) which is a program used to create structural designs and blueprints.
- After students have completed the CAD program requirements, Civil Engineer students thermodynamics and structural analysis, which may include designing projects using the CAD program.
- In order for a Civil Engineer to provide public services (s)he will need to professional engineer (PE) state licensing requirements, which include: four years of work experience and completing two exams administered by the National Council of Examiners for Engineers and Surveyors
*Although this sound like a lot of work there are always rewards for hard work.
- The minimum requirement in order to work in the Civil engineering field is a Bachelor's degree, but to in order to provide public services there is much more one has to do.
