Introduction Of Civil Engineering
Civil engineering affects many of our daily activities: the buildings we live in and work in, the
transportation facilities we use, the water we drink,
and the drainage and sewage systems that are
necessary to our health and well-being.
Civil engineers:
• Measure and map the earth’s surface.
• Design and supervise the construction of bridges, tunnels, large
buildings, dams, and coastal structures.
• Plan, layout, construct, and maintain railroads, highways, and airports.
• Devise systems for the control and efficient flow of traffic.
• Plan and build river navigation and flood control projects.
• Provide plants and systems for water supply and sewage and refuse disp
