    so thiere was civil engineering in egypt befor along time

  • admin September 23, 2008 at 3:59 pm

    @ Ibrahim
    yeah this is true that civil engineering is dated as back as we have civilizations. But by mentioning the year means the formal date of graduated student.

    hello
    i am doing my civil engg from Birla Vishwakarma Mahavidyalaya engg college ,the most important thing about civil engg is the responsibility that develops within.
    responsibility of life ,property,relations….these are the considerations which we have to keep in mind while shaping the civilisation….
