Civil engineers design and supervise the construction of roads, buildings,
airports, tunnels, dams, bridges, and water supply and sewage systems. They
must consider many factors in the design process from the construction costs
and expected lifetime of a project to government regulations and potential
environmental hazards such as earthquakes and hurricanes. Civil engineering,
considered one of the oldest engineering disciplines, encompasses many
specialties. The major ones are structural, water resources, construction,
transportation, and geotechnical engineering. Many civil engineers hold
supervisory or administrative positions, from supervisor of a construction site
to city engineer. Others may work in design, construction, research, and
teaching.
