II. Civil Engineering
1. What is civil engineering?
Engineering is the use of scientific principles to design and build what humanity needs.
Civil engineering is everything you see that is been built around us, it is professional engineering 
that deals with the design, construction, and maintenance of the physical and naturally built environment, 
including public works.
Civil engineering is the most basic engineering that preserves humanity from various natural and social 
disasters, considers the coexistence of humans and nature, and maintains society.
2. Who are civil engineers?
Most Engineers specialize in one particular discipline of engineering. A professional Engineer is an 
engineer who is registered or licensed within an engineering authority to offer professional services to 
directly to the public.
A civil engineer is someone who applies scientific knowledge to improve infrastructure and common 
utilities that meet basic human needs, they are usually working in a particular specialty, such as construction 
engineering, geotechnical engineering, structural engineering, transportation engineering, hydraulic 
engineering, and environmental engineering. 
3. What do civil engineers do?
What civil engineers do is planning, designing, constructing, maintaining, and operating infrastructure 
such as roads, railways, dams, airports, sewage systems etc while protecting public and environmental 
health and improving existing infrastructure that may have been neglected. 
They do the following:
1) Assisting with site investigations
2) Assessing the worth and potential risks of projects
3) Resolving design and development problems
4) Managing budgets and other project resources
5) Attending public meetings to discuss projects
6) Preparing project bids and reports
7) Assessing a project’s environmental impact and potential risk
8) Monitoring project progress and ensuring it meets legal and health and safety requirements
