Civil Engineers
Civil engineers design buildings, roads, dams, bridges, tunnels, airports, and sewer and water supply systems. When responsible for a project, civil engineers must consider costs, environmental hazards, government regulations, ability to withstand natural disasters, and durability of the infrastructure. Civil engineering can be divided in the following categories: water resource, construction, structural, environmental, geotechnical, and transportation engineering. Many engineers serve in administrative or supervisory roles, an example being a supervisor of a construction site. These engineers can also work in teaching, construction, and research. The projects that civil engineers work on are broad in scope and quite complex. As a result, they typically specialize in one particular area. Geotechnical engineers make sure that structures have secure foundations. Their work deals with the earth, and the way that structures (like tunnels and buildings) interact with it.
