Civil Engineering is basically about conceiving, designing, constructing and maintaining infrastructure projects such as dams, highways, tunnels, airports, powerhouses, bridges and many others. Also, considered as the second oldest engineering stream after Military Engineering, Civil Engineering was created to differentiate non-military constructions from military constructions/projects. Not only in the public sector, but civil engineers also play a vital role in the private sector ranging from individuals homeowners to projects of multinational companies. The course also includes improving existing infrastructure and the environment.
