What is Civil Engineering?

Civil engineers design, build and manage roads, buildings, water supply and storage systems, wastewater systems, transport systems, and bridges while taking into consideration any social, environmental, and financial constraints.

They are responsible for the infrastructure and resources that are essential for the daily functioning of cities, towns and rural areas.
