Department of Civil Engineering
Civil engineering is the oldest professional engineering discipline that deals with the design, construction and maintenance of the physical and naturally built environment including public works such as roads, bridges, canals, dams, airports, sewage systems, pipelines, structural components of buildings and railways. The Civil engineering field is highly competitive, with a strong demand for qualified professionals at all times.
Civil engineers are responsible for research and development in addition to their work directly involved with construction projects. Civil engineering is traditionally broken into a number of sub-disciplines. Civil engineering can take place in the public sector from municipal public works departments through government agencies and in the private sector from locally based firms to global companies. Civil engineers are employed in every sector of society: manufacturing, construction, transportation and distribution, utilities/energy production, public works departments/agencies (municipalities) and private industry.
