what is Civil engineering?

 Civil engineering is professional engineering .  Civil Engineering includes   supervising  creating maintaining planning, designing,and  constructing,  which include facilities compulsory to modern life like  schools,highways, bridges and tunnels, hospitals, airports and other buildings, sewage systems and water treatment facilities. Subsequently, the course also involves protecting the   environmental  and public health as well as improving existing infrastructure.

According to a new research report by Global Market Insights, Inc, the Civil Engineer Market size is expected to grow up to USD 11.72 trillion by 2025

what is symbol of civil engineers?

symbol of civil engineer is  Iron Ring(north America). The ring symbolizes the pride which civil engineers have in their profession, while cumulatively reminding them of their humility. The ring serves as a reminder to the civil engineer and others of the engineer's obligation to live by a high standard of professional conduct.

career after civil engineering

Type of Civil engineering

1.Construction Engineering

Civil engineering is a related profession that deals more with the practical aspects of projects. Construction engineers learn some of the design aspects similar to civil engineers as well as project site management aspects and handling work..

At  study point, Civil engineering students pay attention first on the design work which is more analytical, gearing them toward a career as a design professional. This indeed requires them to take a multitude of challenging engineering science and design courses as part of obtaining a 4-year accredited degree. studying for construction engineers is primarily focused on construction procedures, methods, costs, schedules and personnel management. Their primary concern is to deliver a project on time within budget and of the desired quality so this is hard job..The difference between a civil engineer and a construction engineer is that construction engineering students take basic design courses as well as construction management courses

2.Coastal and Ocean Engineering coastal engineering is the study of the procedure ongoing at the shoreline and construction with in the coastal zone. The zone includes side of near oceanography, marine geology, and Civil engineering, often directed at combating erosion of coasts or providing navigational access

3.Geotechnical Engineering Geotechnical engineering use theory of soil properties and rock mechanics and soil mechanics to investigate  soil properties ,subsurface conditions and materials; determine the relevant physical/mechanical and chemical properties of included these materials; evaluate stability of natural slopes and man-made soil deposits; assess risks posed by site condition so geotech engineering is inportant part of Civil engineering.

4.Fire protection engineering
  it is a part of Civil engineering Fire Protection Engineering as defined by the Society of Fire Protection Engineers (SFPE) is the application of science and engineering principles to shield people and their environment from the destructive fire and includes: analysis of fire hazards; mitigation of fire damage by proper design, construction, arrangement, and use of industrial processes, and transportation systems ,buildings, materials, structures

5.Structural Engineering

It is a part of Civil engineering dealing with the analysis and design of structures that support or resist load and provide faxibility and durability.

Structural engineering principle is based upon physical laws and empirical knowledge of the structural performance of different materials and geometries. Structural engineering design exploit a number of simple structural elements to build complex structural systems.Structural engineering depends upon a detailed knowledge of  materials science  applied mechanics,and applied mathematics to understand and predict how structures support and resist imposed loads and self weight . To apply the knowledge successfully a Structural engineering generally demand detailed knowledge of relevant empirical and theoretical design codes, the techniques of structural analysis, as well as some knowledge of the corrosion resistance of the materials and structures, specially when those structures are uncovered to the external environment. Since  1991s, expert software has become available to aid in the design of structures, with the functionality to assist in the drawing, analyzing and designing of structures with maximum accuracy; examples include  Prokon, Revit Structure,AutoCAD, StaadPro, ETABS, etc. Such software may also take into consideration environmental loads, such as from winds and earthquake.

6.General Engineering

 General engineering is a detailed term that covers a variation of different types of engineering. General engineering is a extensive perspective to the subject matter, meaning students that come out of this career have an chance to develop large buildings and bridges, or create beauty products and airplanes and cars.

7.Bridge Engineering
    Bridge engineering is a part of  structural engineering (particularly a significant branch of structural engineering) dealing with the surveying, plan, design, analysis, construction, management, and maintenance of bridges that support or resist loads so this is good part.

8.Irrigation Engineering 
      Water is need for agriculture.and at times this water requirement is fulfilled by rain, but there are some dry areas where irrigation is the only process by which water is supplied to crops. irrigation engineering is part of civil engineering.

9.Land development
    Land development meaning  partition of a piece into two or more pieces, the construction, reconstruction, conversion, structural alteration, relocation, or enlargement of any building or other structure, or of any mining, excavation, or landfill, and any change in the use of any building or other structure.so its part of civil engineering.

10.Materials Engineering

11.Transportation engineering

12.Urban Engineering

13.Hydraulic Engineering

14.Water resources Engineering

15.Environmental Engineering

these are all type of Civil engineering.
