About Civil Engineering
Engineering is a term applied to the profession in which a knowledge of the mathematical and natural sciences, gained by study, experience, and practice, is applied to the efficient use of the materials and forces of nature. Engineers are the ones who have received professional training in pure and applied science. Before the middle of the 18th century, large-scale construction work was usually placed in the hands of military engineers. Military engineering involved such work as the preparation of topographical maps, the location, design, and construction of roads and bridges; and the building of forts and docks; see Military Engineering below. In the 18th century, however, the term civil engineering came into use to describe engineering work that was performed by civilians for nonmilitary purposes.
Civil engineering is the broadest of the engineering fields. Civil engineering focuses on the infrastructure of the world which include Waterworks, Sewers, Dams, Power Plants, Transmission Towers/Lines, Railroads, Highways, Bridges, Tunnels, Irrigation Canals, River Navigation, Shipping Canals, Traffic Control, Mass Transit, Airport Runways, Terminals, Industrial Plant Buildings, Skyscrapers, etc. Among the important subdivisions of the field are construction engineering, irrigation engineering, transportation engineering, soils and foundation engineering, geodetic engineering, hydraulic engineering, and coastal and ocean engineering.
Civil engineers build the world’s infrastructure. In doing so, they quietly shape the history of nations around the world. Most people can not imagine life without the many contributions of civil engineers to the public’s health, safety and standard of living. Only by exploring civil engineering’s influence in shaping the world we know today, can we creatively envision the progress of our tomorrows.
its good one .. i like it.. n learnt alot..
ya its so nice to have informations………
every have to learn
mind blowing
Very good note regarding the Engineering, also knowledgeble too.Thank you for providing such paper on site

I AM VERY HAPPY TO JOIN
truly motivating for civil engg. students like me….
a good website for future civil engineers like me……..
william rodrigues from cochin kerala. I thank you for such information regarding
civil engineering. And also wish to have other information dealing with materials
used in construction. Viz steel and chemical used in cement concrete.
thank you
CIVIL ENGINEER GIVES COUNTRY ITS ON LOOK WITHOUT IT A COUNTRY CANNOT RUN
please send more details
Expressing the meaning – “Being a Civil Engineer what it means to the rest of the world as well as our responsibility towards them.”
Really nice.. It helps to the future civil engg students..
