Civil Engineering is the media in which civilization is to cause to improve from a primitive stage of human society to a more developed one. Civil Engineering mainly includes planning, designing, execution and maintenance of all type of projects related to various types of buildings, transportation systems and water resources system.
So, A civil Engineer is one who translates the concepts or objectives into reality using the latest scientific knowledge and available resources for the benefits, comforts and well being of human by protecting the environment.
Civil Engineering is relatively broad term, which encompasses various disciplines of technology and engineering it includes,
Construction Technology includes different types and aspects of building construction with different construction material. It also includes construction of light structures like residential buildings, factory sheds, Heavy structures like dams, bridges and special structures like, tunnels, harbours, jetties, silos and bunkers, etc.
Surveying contains different types of surveying techniques, preparation of plans, contour maps, computation of area and volumes with modern developments such as electronic measuring devices, photo-grammetry, remote sensing, etc.
Transportation Engineering includes movement of passengers and goods on land and water surfaces and by air ways. Road engineering, docks and harbour engineering, airport engineering and railway engineering are the parts which itself tells development and prosperity of any country.
Geotechnical Engineering is getting increased importance in the field of civil engineering projects with the detailed soil investigation for appropriate design of foundation for all types of structures.
Structural Engineering comprises design of different structures such as network of beams and columns, water towers, elevated water tanks, high rise buildings and roofing system, etc.
Water Resources Engineering includes planning design and evaluation of multiple river valley projects with surface and subsurface hydrology, river engineering ,irrigation engineering and water power engineering.
Environmental Engineering contains the technically feasible, socially acceptable and economically viable solution of the problems of waste generated from domestic and industrial sectors.
