What is Civil Engineering?

Contrary to popular belief, civil engineer does not only build buildings. The civil engineer gives a certain shape to the material in nature and offers it to humanity in a beneficial way. They work in all areas of zoning and construction of countries. Dams, railways, all kinds of buildings, bridges, tunnels, highways, airports, subways, ports, power plants, factories, industrial plants, treatment plants, business centres, hospitals, etc. Infrastructure and superstructures are among the facilities where civil engineers are actively involved in project design, construction and supervision. Today, there are such construction sites that thousands of people and machines work non-stop for 24 hours. The civil engineer who will manage such a construction site must have not only technical knowledge but also organisational and managerial knowledge. At the same time, he/she should also have a well-developed social aspect. Civil engineers can work as managers, designers, control engineers and consultants in all public institutions, municipalities and private sector. In addition, if they wish, they can also do contracting, project and building supervision works on their own behalf. In this context, civil engineers have a high employment potential.
