"Civil Engineering: An Exciting Career With an Incredible History and a Tremendous Future "
From the pyramids of Egypt to the exploration of space, civil engineers have always faced the challenges of the future - advancing civilization and building our quality of life.
Today, the world is undergoing vast changes - the technological revolution, population growth, environmental concerns, and more. All create unique challenges for civil engineers. The next decades will be the most creative, demanding, and rewarding times for civil engineers, and now is the best time to find out if civil engineering is the right career for you.
Today, civil engineers are in the forefront of technology. They are the leading users of sophisticated high-tech products - applying the very latest concepts in computer-aided design (CAD) during design, construction, project scheduling, and cost control.
Civil engineers may be found through the workplace in a variety of functions. Aside from traditional engineering firms, you may work with utility companies, telecommunication businesses, consulting firms, or even toy and athletic equipment manufacturers. A civil engineering degree can lead you to a career in industry, government, computers, law, or medicine.
Our future as a nation will be closely tied to space, energy, the environment, and our ability to interact with and compete in the global economy. As a civil engineer, you will perform a vital role in linking these themes and improving the quality of life for the 21st century. As the technology revolution expands, as the world's population increases, and as environmental concerns mount, your skills will be needed. There is no limit to the personal satisfaction you will feel from helping to make our world a better place to live. Whatever area you choose, design, construction, research, teaching, or management, civil engineering offers you a wide range of career choices.
One of the greatest rewards of civil engineering is to see your own enduring creation helping to improve the quality of life.
