About

Civil engineers are responsible for the world's most inspiring buildings, bridges and roads, as well as some of the less thrilling – yet no less structurally sound – buildings, bridges and roads. Some of these incredible structures include the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco and "Spaghetti Junction" in Birmingham, England, which wouldn't be possible without talented civil engineers. To prepare candidates for this career, civil engineering programs require coursework, practice, and research in construction techniques and advanced math concepts.

Jobs Outlook

  • Civil engineering professionals need a diverse set of skills to design and build bridges, highways, dams, and other infrastructure projects.
  • Civil engineers generally work in a variety of locations and conditions. It is common for them to split their time between working in an office and working outdoors at construction sites so that they can monitor operations or solve problems onsite.
  • Employment of civil engineers is projected to grow 8 percent from 2020 to 2030. About 25,000 openings for civil engineers are projected each year, on average, over the decade.
