The civil engineer is dedicated to planning, designing and building to protect the environment while making it more attractive and useful.
Most people can only talk about pollution, droughts and floods.
The civil engineer can help eliminate or greatly reduce the destructive power of these environmental threats. In carrying out their responsibilities, civil engineers work as members of a team. They are involved with professionals from other fields of enginerring, architecture, planning, sociology and economics, as well as co-workers called civil engineering technicians and technologists who use their technical skills to assist the engineer.
