Civil engineering is a field of engineering that involves designing, constructing, and maintaining buildings, dams, bridges, tunnels, highways, and other structures. It uses physical laws, mathematical equations, and theories of mechanics. Civil engineering is divided into several subcategories including geotechnical engineering, structural engineering, transportation engineering, water resource engineering, environmental engineering, earthquake engineering, and urban planning. Civil engineers are responsible for planning, designing, constructing, and maintaining structures while utilizing available resources efficiently to complete projects on time and within budget, considering environmental and safety issues. The scope of civil engineering has diversified over time to include branches like structural engineering, geotechnical engineering, transportation engineering, hydraulic engineering, and environmental engineering.

‘WHAT IS A
CIVIL
ENGINEER?’
CIVIL ENGINEER? ‘
IS a field of engineering
sciences, related to
design, construction and
maintenance of buildings, dams,
bridges, tunnels, highways and
other structures by the use
of physical
laws, mathematical
equations and theories
of mechanics.
Also known…… as the mother of
all engineering, it is the oldest,
broadest, most simple and useful of all
engineering sciences. Being a broader
field Civil Engineering is divided into
the following sub-categories and / or
fields.
1. Geo technical Engineering
2. Structural Engineering
3. Transportation Engineering
4. Water Resource engineering
5. Environmental Engineering
6. Earthquake Engineering
7. Urban Planning
HE/
SHE…. Is
responsible for
planning, design,
construction and/
or maintenance of
structures.

2. Civil Engineers
utilize the
available resources
(expertise,
materials,
manpower) to
complete the
project in the
given time span
keeping in view
the time,
expenditure,
environmental
issues and physical
hazards of the
project.
1. Coastal
–Protect
our beaches
and coastal
areas
against
flooding
and erosion
>>> Scope of Civil Engineering
DUE TO INCREASE IN THE SCOPE OF CIVIL ENGINEERING WITH THE PASSAGE OF TIME, IT HAS NOW GOT DIVERSIFIED
INTO MANY BRANCHES OF STUDY. SOME OF THE SIGNIFICANT ONES INCLUDE:
- STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING
- GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING
- TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING
- HYDRAULIC ENGINEERING
- ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING & MANY MORE
>>> SURVEYOR TYPES OF CIVIL ENGINEERS ……
2. Earthquake –
Test structures to
make sure that
they can
withstand
earthquakes and
are designed well
to stop them
collapsing
>>> PROJECT MANAGER
>>> TECHINICAL REPORT WRITER
3.Environmental
– Finding new
ways to protect
our environment
and work on
wind farms,
water
purification,
waste water
treatment and
solid waste
treatment, air
pollution, and
hazardous waste
management
4. Structural – Design and build
buildings, bridges, towers, flyovers,
tunnels, as well as off shore structures
like oil and gas fields in the sea

5. Transport – Ensure people and
products move around the country
quickly and safely. This could mean
working on roads, canals, highways, rail
systems, airports, and ports.
6. Urban – Working in cities. Mainly to
design, construct, and maintain the
roads, sidewalks, water supply networks,
sewers, street lighting, municipal solid
waste management and disposal, storage
depots for various bulk materials used for
maintenance and public works ( salt,
sand, etc), public parks and bicycle
paths.
7. Water resources – Design and
construct our water resources such as
pipelines, water distribution system,
drainage facilities (including dams,
channels, culverts, levees, storm
sewers), canals. OTHERWISE we will not
have water when and where we need it.
