Civil engineering is one of the oldest branches of engineering and involves building structures and infrastructure to improve quality of life. The main disciplines of civil engineering include geotechnical engineering which deals with soil behavior, structural engineering which designs structures to withstand loads, environmental engineering which applies engineering to protect the environment, and transportation engineering which ensures safe transportation of people and goods. Civil engineers are responsible for many important aspects of modern life like buildings, bridges, roads, and water and sewage systems.

 Built Environment
 Main disciplines of Civil Engineering

4.  Oldest branch of engineering aftermilitary
engineering.
 Firstengineerswere militaryengineers, combining
military and civilskills.
 Later, Civil Engineering developed as aseparate
discipline.
 Many of the important things in our lives that we
take forgranted areproductsof civil engineering

5.  Created by man withor
without the aid of
natural environment
 Includes everything
from simple housingto
entire cities, and even
man-made outdoor
environments
