| Civil Engineering is for people; planning and constructing the environment in which they live. Civil Engineers are men and women who have trained to plan, design, construct and maintain the facilities which contribute to our modern way of life. Civil Engineers are responsible for buildings, bridges, roads, harbours, dams, airports, coastal protection, water supply and public health. They must understand material strength, water flow, foundation capacities, breaking waves, transport and land interactions, contamination and treatment. Not only must they be well informed about the sciences, they must apply their theoretical knowledge to create economical and aesthetically pleasing facilities which satisfy the demands of society. The Civil Engineer must have a high aptitude for mathematics and physics, a desire to meet technological challenges and an ability to work with a wide range of people.
