Introduction:
Civil Engineering is a professional engineering discipline that deals with the planning, design, construction operation and maintenance of the physical and naturally built environment, including works such as bridges, roads, canals, dams and buildings. Civil Engineering is the oldest engineering discipline after military engineering. It is traditionally broken into several sub-disciplines including Environmental Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, Structural Engineering, Transportation Engineering, Municipal or Urban Engineering, Water Resources Engineering, Materials Engineering, Coastal Engineering, Surveying, Irrigation Engineering, Hydraulics Engineering and Construction Engineering. Civil Engineering takes place on all levels: in the public sector from municipal to federal levels, and in the private sector from individual homeowner’s s to international companies.
