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
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.
