why the emphasis on scandinavian engineers?  i'
:There is good reason for this, because the "civilingenjör" title is highly regarded in Scandinavia, more so than masters of science for example. This particular track of education also has a high international regard. However it could possibly be forked of to some subentry like Civil engineer (scandinavia) or just be listed by its Swedish name, Civilingenjör. Nixdorf 06:33, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

message: This article clearly states that a civil engineer works with civil engineering. A scandinavian "civilingenjör" may work in that field, but can just as well work in any other field of engineering. The "civil" part nowadays just means that one has achieved a high enough level of education in the choosen field. Thus, the scandinavian title is best treated elsewhere, for example in engineer, or in a separate article.

message: On at least three Air Force bases with which I have been familiar, the persons performing building maintenance, such a repairing plumbing leaks, and grounds maintenance, such as grass cutting, have indeed been referred to as "civil engineers". They may be seen operating maintenance equipment (such as mowers) emblazoned with the words "civil engineer" and wearing reflective vests with the same label while performing such maintenance activities. These persons have been employed by the Air Force but are not military members.
The non-authoritative page which Graham87 referred to at http://www.tpub.com/content/UFC1/ufc_3_260_01/ufc_3_260_010227.htm lists some other activities which civil engineers may perform at some bases, but does not exclude any other activities. Hence, this page does *not* say that it is "not true". If an authoritative reference, such as a DoD regulation, can be found that says persons performing these duties may not be called civil engineers then please supply it as the commanders at these bases are apparently unaware of it. Also please be aware that civilian regulations on such things do not generally apply to the military. I am thus reverting the removal.
Please flag statements that simply need citations rather than immediately removing them. (Doing so would remove most of this article, for example, as it has only two citations).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.59.100.223 (talk) 07:16, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

message: I don't believe that job prospects are relevant to this article. As I said in my edit summary, Wikipedia is not a job guide, and conditions vary within different regions of the world. I'd say that the first couple of sentences about the cyclical nature of jobs in construction engineering could be relevant in the construction engineering article. However the current recession has affected different parts of the world in different ways; here in Australia, the government has set aside money to stimulate projects, so construction engineers probably won't have a problem finding work there.

message: Definition of Civil engineer from the Oxford Dictionary:
      Definition of civil engineer
      noun
            an engineer who designs and maintains roads, bridges, dams, and similar structures. 
A proper translation of Civil Engineer into Norwegian would be "Bygg-ingeniør" or more correctly "Bachelor Ingeniørfag - Allmenn bygg"
Information about a Civil Engineering degree from a Norwegian university college:
http://www.hin.no/eng/nuc-english-web/study-programmes/bachelor-programmes/civil-engineering?lang=eng
Sivilingeniør however is equivalent to a postgraduate degree in England or Master's degree in the States. It requires in most cases a 5 year education at a university or university college.
Also, it makes no sense to talk about Civil Engineering as a common term for most engineering disciplines. That belongs in a seperate historical section only. The article should however adhere to the present usage of the term to avoid confusion. This goes mostly for the "Civil Engineering" wiki-article which is referred to in this article.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:700:C00:200:C1BD:F159:C070:CBD3 (talk) 18:21, 27 October 2012 (UTC)
