Civil engineers design, build, and maintain the foundation for our modern society – our roads and bridges, drinking water and energy systems, sea ports and airports, and the infrastructure for a cleaner environment, to name just a few.
Civil engineering touches us throughout our day. Think of a civil engineer when you:
Turn on your tap to take a shower or drink clean water
Flick on your lights and open your refrigerator
Drive to work on roads and bridges through synchronized traffic lights
Take mass transit or take a flight for a vacation
Toss your empty coffee cup in the recycling bin
