Civil engineers work alongside architects, surveyors, construction managers, landscape architects, and urban planners to design the infrastructure needed to support public and private development projects. Many civil engineers focus on one or more specialties within the discipline. Here are just a few examples:
- Traffic and transportation, which includes the design of roads, highway systems, public transportation systems, and more.
- Water resources, which include the design of stormwater and sewer systems as well as natural wetland restoration.
- Structural and construction, which includes the design of solutions to guarantee the soundness and longevity of man-made structures such as buildings or parking garages.
