The civil engineer's vital role is to plan, design, and supervise the construction of these facilities.
Civil engineering is one of the most publicly visible technical fields.
It shares with military engineering the distinction of being the earliest of the, engineering disciplines. Other branches of engineering emerged as technical knowledge became more specialized. Civil engineering not only retains a strong relationship with the other branches, but continues to generate new arm of technology. The basic theories of structural analysis, which are the concern of civil engineers, are expressed in every machine and aircraft, and in buildings and other constructed facilities. The study of mechanics is basic to the field of civil engineering.
