What is Civil
Engineering?
Civil engineering is a branch of engineering
that deals with the design, construction, and
maintenance of the physical and naturally
built environment. This includes infrastructure
such as roads, bridges, dams, buildings, and
water supply systems.
The term "civil engineering" comes
from the Latin word "ingeniator" and
the Greek word "kataskeuē," meaning
"to build." The Greeks significantly
influenced this field with structures
like the Parthenon, showcasing
advanced geometry and design
principles.

Signifance
Civil Engineering helps us in making the world an
easier and safer place to live. Without civil
engineers we would not have safe homes,
cohesive road systems or hospitals. By becoming
a civil engineer, you will be able to positively
impact society by making the world a better
place.

Civil Engineering involves a vast
mumber of responsibilities and
varieties of task that are related in
handling, managing, designing,
assessing, and constructing of both
infrastructural an structural aspects of
a project.
Civil

following:
Design and
Planning
Civil engineers create designs and plans for
infrastructure projects.
Conduct thorough studies of different designs to
ensure safety, assess functionality and
sustainability, and assure the quality of the project
while complying to environmental standards.
Project
Management
- They are responsible for managing and organizing vital
aspects of the project. This includes budgeting,
scheduling, acquisition or obtainment, and allocation of
resouces.
- Coordinating with clients, contractors and partner
agencies to ensure the success of project execution.
Supervision
during project
construction
-Visiting construction sites for monitoring of progress
and resolving issues during the process of construction.
- Supervising construction activities on-site to ensure
that the work undergo proper and thorough
procedures and follows design specification, adheres
to quality assurance, safety protocols.
Site viewing
and
investigation
-Before a project is started, civil engineers conduct an
investigation of the site to evaluate conditions, both
geologically and environmentally.
- This includes locating potential hazards on the site,
conducting geologic surveys and mapping, site
exploration, sampling, etc.
Estimating of
costs and
budgeting
-Engineers estimate the cost of a project to
prepare the possible budget.
- To ensure that projects are finished within a
specific budget.
Maintenance
and
operation
-Conducting maintenance and
managing operations to ensure and
assess quality of work and equipment.
- Longevity, functionality, and stability.
