In reality they do far more than this. Civil Engineering impacts on all our daily activities. We take for granted that we can turn on a tap and have clean drinking water or that we have a transportation system that is adequate and efficient. These construction and supply activities are achieved through Civil Engineering design. There are many other less obvious but very important activities performed by Civil Engineers.
Civilization continues to place demands on our limited environmental resources.
Civil Engineers are leading the way in forming a detailed understanding of environmental issues and how the impact of human endeavours on the environment can be reduced. In almost every activity undertaken by Civil Engineers they interact with the environment. This role as an environmental scientist will continue to increase, offering an exciting future and an important place for Civil Engineers as we approach the 21st Century.
