Transportation engineer (highways, urban transit, airports).Structural engineer (buildings, bridges, towers).They must consider many factors in the design process including regulations and policy issues, sustainability, fabrication costs and constructability, expected lifetime of a project, and risk assessment of natural events and potential hazards.Ĭivil engineering is one of the broadest area of engineering and has tangible impact on quality of life, human health, and safety. They analyze, design, and supervise the construction of roads, buildings, water supply systems, airports, tunnels, dams, bridges, and wastewater treatment systems.
