Civil Engineering Information
Provides Civil Engineering Information including specialised areas of structural and environmental engineering. Also includes related references to civil engineering web sites.
What is Civil Engineering
Civil engineering involves the planning, designing laying out and constructing of buildings, railroads, highways, bridges, tunnels. They also work closely with architects and environmental engineers.
What does a Civil Engineer do
Since civil engineering is very broad, civil engineering jobs are dependant on each chosen specialisation taken by the engineer at University. However for these specialisations there are usually three functions that are performed by the civil engineer. The planning( includes feasibility studies and designs), pre development(actually working on site making sure safety and all procedures are being followed correctly) and post development. ( This can include maintenance and future upgrades).
