Civil Engineering

    I think civil engineering is one of the most important engineering. It also the oldest engineering in the world.Civil engineering is arguably one of the oldest engineering discipline. It deals with the built environment, can be traced back to the first time someone put a roof over his or her head or laid a tree across the river, make it easier to understand.

    Building environment contains the definition of the modern civilization. The structure of buildings and Bridges are often the first to think that, because they are the most remarkable works of structural engineering, civil engineering, one of the major disciplines. Highway, railway, subway system, airport traffic design engineers, another category of civil engineering. Then there were the civil engineers of the creation of the less obvious. Every time you turn on the tap, you expect the water to come out, without thinking, to be a civil engineer. New York, one of the world's most impressive water supply system, from the catskill receives billions of gallons of high quality water for more than one hundred miles away. Also, it seems that not many people worry about what happened after water its purpose. Old sanitary engineering, civil engineering discipline has developed into the importance of modern environmental engineering, most of the academic department of civil and environmental engineering have changed their name.

    These examples illustrate, civil engineers to do more than design buildings and Bridges. They can be found in the aerospace industry, design the plane and the space station, in the automotive industry, improve the bearing capacity of the chassis, improve the crashworthiness of the bumper and the door; They can be found in the shipbuilding industry, power industry, many other industries in any building facilities. They plan and supervise the construction of these facilities construction manager.

Civil engineering is an exciting career, because at the end of the day you can see the results of your work, whether it is a complete Bridges, high-rise buildings, subway station or hydroelectric dam.
