Civil engineering has been around since the beginning of the 18th century and is the second oldest type of engineering. It is a profession in which one must have the ability or understanding of physics and mathematical concepts. Civil engineering is a professional discipline that deals with the design, construction, and maintenance of the physical and natural built environment. (To get a better idea, it encompasses the bridges and roads we drive on, buildings, canals and much more.) "Civil engineering is the profession in which a knowledge of the mathematical and physical sciences gained by study, experience, and practice is applied with judgment to develop ways to utilize, economically, the materials and forces of nature for the progressive well-being of humanity in creating, improving, and protecting the environment, in providing facilities for community living, industry and transportation, and in providing structures for the use of humanity." ~American Society of Civil Engineers, 1961 Why would you want to be a Civil Engineer? • Civil engineering is an exciting concentration of study.It is innovative and constantly advancing with technology. • Civil Engineers have an opportunity to impact society by maintaining the environment and meeting its rapidly changing needs. • Civil Engineering is one of the only fields that allows you to see a project from beginning to end.
