Hey there!!!! Curious to understand about the civil engineering and its scope, then your are at the proper place. Let's begin the the journey of civil engineering and its interesting aspects in our day to day life by knowing the important and interesting core branch of engineering.

The History of civil engineering

  • civil engineering is the second oldest branch after military engineering. In 18th century military engineer's started handling the work of civil infrastructure the term civil engineering was discovered.
  • A part from this, civil engineering is additionally an excellent combination of science and mathematics and purely based on both applications and its principles.

What is civil engineering!!


  • Generally civil means "jan" (sanskrit word)
  • The branch of engineering which is directly attached to public and environment with great efforts is termed civil engineering.if you help the people without knowing engineering and application of engineering then you're called civilian.

Civil engineer have following characteristics which is related to public environment etc.

  • Public utilities construction : road,railway,bridge etc
  • Facility to the public : home, restaurant, hospital,school etc
  • Wonder : Tajmahal, Lal kila etc
  • Environment : water supply,make pollution free environment

Various field of civil engineering:

  • Structure engineering
  • Geotechnical engineering
  • Environmental engineering
  • Water resources engineering
  • Surveying engineering
  • Transportation engineering
  • Construction engineering
  • Earthquake engineering

1) Structural engineer

  • Structure engineer focus on analysis and design of structures like building, bridges,hydraulic structures(dam,weir etc).

 2) Geotechnical engineer

  • Geotechnical engineer concentrate on mainly analysis & understanding properties of soil, foundations, rock, underground water,site and structural conditions, etc.

 3) Environmental engineer

  • Environmental engineers specialist in mainly designing of treatment units to manage air, water and soil pollution and environmental management.

 4) Water resources engineer

  • Water resources engineering deals with collection and management of water. 
  • Water resources engineer handle construction of water works like hydroelectric plants, dams, irrigation, and navigation canals, reservoir, bridges, culverts, storm sewers, water pipelines etc.

 5) Surveying engineer

  • Construction engineer deals with surveying and leveling of land using various instruments, mapping & contouring of terrains etc. Surveying is the important step for planning and designing of construction project .

 6) Transportation engineer

  • Transportation engineer focus on mainly planning, and management of transportation facilities like road, bridges, culvert etc.

 7) Construction engineer

  • Deals with planning, construction, abd maintenance of structures. It includes the execution of designing projects. It deals with construction planning, scheduling and controlling of construction projects.

 8) Earthquake engineer

  • Earthquake engineering is the study of seismic force, earthquake resistant structure etc. Earthquake engineer focus on constructions structure like bridge, building resistant to earthquake and develops building technology method to cut back the impact of earthquake.

 

Why do you have to opt civil engineering as your professional career!!!

 

 

  • One of the main reasons you must opt civil as your dream future because civil is one of the oldest branch likewise as main stream of engineering.
  • This particular stream plays a great role to the our society by providing basic needs like roads, building, bridges, dam, port and plenty of more this needs would't be imagined without civil engineering.
  • There is great opportunity within the public in addition as government sector. The changes and growth of the infrastructures and civilization are within the hands of those engineers. e.g, Site engineer, Geotechnical engineer
  • One can recognized and may be employed at various places ranging from real estate and construction companies to government projects and starting your own business because all we all know that out of three basic needs the primary and first need for human kind is shelter which isn't possible without the assistance of civil engineer.
