Civil engineering is about protecting, creating and improving our everyday environment. It involves the planning, design and construction of facilities that we require for living, for industry and for transport. Roads, bridges, harbours, buildings, railway, airports, water supply, drainage, wastewater treatment systems, dams, flood management and sustainable energy schemes such as wind farms, ocean energy or hydroelectric stations. Infrastructure on which civilization depends upon to function now and into the future.
Civil Engineers manage and design projects of all scales, from single houses to multi-storey buildings, from group water schemes to major bridges and roads. They work as individuals and as part of teams.
