Civil+Engineer

==== Civil Engineering is one of the oldest and largest branches of engineering; they build our quality of life. With creativity and technical skill, civil engineers plan, design, construct, and operate the facilities essential to modern life, ranging from bridges and highway systems to roads, dams, airports, parks, and underwater tunnels. They are problem solvers, meeting the challenges of pollution, traffic congestion, drinking water and energy needs, urban redevelopment and community planning. They must consider many factors in the design process, from the construction costs and expected lifetime of a project to government regulations and potential environmental hazards such as earthquakes and hurricanes. Civil engineering encompasses many specialties. Some of the major ones are structural, construction, environmental and geotechnical engineering. ====
