Civil engineering is a branch of engineering that focuses on the design, construction, and maintenance of infrastructure and environmental projects that benefit society. It encompasses a wide range of structures and systems, including buildings, bridges, roads, airports, water supply networks, sewage systems, dams, and more. Civil engineers play a crucial role in ensuring the safety, functionality, and sustainability of these projects, considering factors such as durability, cost-effectiveness, and environmental impact.
The field is rooted in applying scientific principles to practical purposes, drawing on knowledge from disciplines like physics, mathematics, geology, and materials science. Civil engineers work across both public and private sectors, collaborating with architects, urban planners, environmental scientists, and other professionals to meet community needs.
