Civil Engineering is one of the oldest branches of engineering that enhance the standard of living of a nation through infrastructural development. Civil engineering deals with the planning, design, construction, operation, maintenance of infrastructure elements such as buildings, highways, bridges, railroads, tunnels, dams, and airports. Civil engineering also deals with the research for the development of innovative technologies that aid in economical and eco-friendly infrastructural development. Civil engineering also deals with solutions to problems involving drinking water supply, sanitation, irrigation & flood control, waste management, and the protection of the environment. A civil engineer not only requires a high standard of engineering knowledge but also supervisory and administrative skills. Civil Engineers plan, design, and supervise the construction of facilities essential to satisfy the needs of modern life.
