Civil engineers perform a wide variety of tasks. They
sometimes plan, or design structures or facilities such
as roads, railroads, airports, bridges, harbors, channels,
dams, irrigation projects, pipelines, power plants,
water and sewage systems and waste disposal unites.
They are often called upon to give technical advice,
or prepare public reports, such as bid proposals. Civil
engineering requires a strong math and physics background.
If you enjoy working in a more practical and hands
on field, consider civil engineering. Many of the occupations
require working outside, and do not involve a lot of
paperwork or working closely with others.
