Table Section Text: Civil engineering comprises the design, construction and maintenance of the physical and natural built environments.

Subdiscipline	Scope	Major specialties

Environmental engineering	The application of engineering to the improvement and protection of the environment.	Ecological engineering, the design, monitoring and construction of ecosystems Fire protection engineering, the application of engineering to protect people and environments from fire and smoke Sanitary engineering, the application of engineering methods to improve sanitation of human communities Wastewater engineering, Wastewater engineering is a type of engineering that comes from civil engineering and environmental engineering.

Geotechnical engineering	Concerned with the behavior of earth materials at the site of a civil engineering project.	Mining engineering, the exploration, extraction and processing of raw materials from the Earth Foundation (engineering), the engineering of below-ground foundations that support superstructures

Structural engineering	The engineering of structures that support or resist structural loads.	Earthquake engineering, the behavior of structures subject to seismic loading Wind engineering, the analysis of wind and its effects on the built environment Architectural engineering, application of engineering principles to building design and construction Ocean engineering, the design of offshore structures

Mining engineering	An engineering discipline that involves the science, technology and practice of extracting and processing minerals from a naturally occurring environment. Mining engineering is closely related to many other disciplines like mineral processing and metallurgy, geotechnical engineering and surveying.

Transport engineering	The use of engineering to ensure safe and efficient transportation of people and goods.	Traffic engineering, a branch of transportation engineering focusing on the infrastructure necessary for transportation Highway engineering, a branch of engineering that deals with major roadways and transportation systems involving automobiles.

Utility Engineering	A branch of Civil Engineering that focuses on the planning, design, construction, operation, maintenance, and asset management of any and all utility systems, as well as the interaction between utility infrastructure and other civil infrastructure	Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE), a branch of utility engineering that involves managing certain risks associated with utility mapping at appropriate quality levels and communication of utility data to concerned parties.

Water resources engineering	Prediction, planning, development and management of water resources.	Hydraulic engineering, concerned with the flow and conveyance of fluids, principally water; intimately related to the design of pipelines, water supply network, drainage facilities (including bridges, dams, levees, channels, culverts, storm sewers) and canals.
