Civil engineering is the oldest branch of the profession of engineering after military engineering. Many of the important things in our lives that we take for granted are the product of civil engineering.
The construction of the dams and power stations that provide the electricity we use every day requires civil engineers.
The water and sewage treatment plants that provide us with safe water supplies require the expertise of civil engineers.
