1-1-What is Civil Engineering?
Civil engineering is a people-serving profession concerned with the planning, design, construction and operation of large complex systems such as buildings and bridges, water purification and distribution systems, highways, rapid transport and rail systems, airports, tunnels and underground construction, dams, and power generating systems. Civil engineering also includes urban and city planning; water, land pollution and treatment problems; and disposal of hazardous wastes and chemicals. The recent revolution in computers, communications and data management has provided new resources that are widely used by the professional civil engineers in providing safe, economical and functional facilities to serve our society.
