are there some good jobs for a civil engineer ?

That depends on what you mean by "good."  I'm a mechanical engineer and have worked 25 years for cities in water and wastewater.  There are also a lot of civil engineers in the field.  Job security and benefits are good, but the pay is only mediocre.  I'll be able to retire comfortably before I'm 50.  Some of my friends got into weapons development right out of school.  They had great salaries when they worked, but were often out of work (especially when the Soviet empire collapsed and nobody was putting money into weapons for a while).  They don't have such good retirement plans as I do, but since 9/11, they're back to good salaries.

Check the internet for the Society of Civil Engineers in your country.  In the US, it is found at\n\nhttp://www.asce.org/asce.cfm\n\nThey can provide for you all manner of resources of how civil engineering works in your particular country/culture.\n\nYou can also look HERE\n\nhttp://search.yahoo.com/search?p=career+civil+engineer&fr=FP-tab-web-t&toggle=1&cop=&ei=UTF-8\n\nfor a range of info regarding Civil Engineering as a career. :)\n\nBest wishes! :)

There are so many fields.\n\nTechnology is constantly evolving and in demand, so electrical engineering; computer engineering, etc\n\nCities are growing and infrastructure must be expanded, so fields like civil engineering would be in demand.\n\nYou know, really, just about any kind of engineer will have relatively decent job security.

In old days, infrastructure was rather concentrated for military use that's why one of oldest civil engineering college is in Roorkee (now IIT) adjacent to Military Campus. Civil Eng today is syno of infrastructure including building, dam, residential, commercial, blast resistant, earthquake safe, irrigation, drain, sewerage, drinking water etc. Once an architect decides the possible use of space, this is the duty of Civil Eng to analyse options , design for its safety and durability (including economics contrary to non engineer), construct at site, supervise etc. It also involve innovativeness for designing and can make lot money during construction of buildings for industry or individual (like a business). Today in my opinion , transportation, earthquake and concrete technology are in more demand. Normally Govt colleges offer a degree, only a few pvt college venture for civil engg may be in name of infrastructure. If one does not have much inclination to electronics or IT then Civil ngg is godd to opt. To get admission is through competition and look at the place / state for adission policy, IITs are certainly best but otehr colleges are also worth studying.

You definitely have a chance cause you have your masters! however i think you have a better chance in civil engineering but who knows, you might be able to find a job in environmental too...it depends on what company you apply and how much experience you have. I know that for a college graduate in civil engineering without experience is about $50,000..my nephew is a CE.\n\nYou should apply to large companies and you should have done it while you were in your last year of your Masters...\n\nI am sure you will get something, keep trying.\n\nI must warn you always negotiate once you have the interview even if they offer you a certain amount. Most americans, get paid a lot more than foreign people..i know..i used to work for Motorola and i am indian...we used to have indian people with MS in Computer science and they started at $50,000 but  the americans would start higher about $65,000....so..just wanted to let you know that you should negotiate and try to get a higher salary...

Try looking at any government website that deals with civil engineering.  Any department of transportation would usually work.  Since I'm in CA, here are some government websites that I know would be related to civil engineering in some way (not sure which particular topic you are looking for).

Structural Engineering is a subspecialty of Civil Engineering (kind of how a plastic surgeon is doctor that specializes in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery). A Structural Engineer deal with the structural analysis of structures such as building, bridges, dams, walls etc.\nA civil Engineer can elect to become a Structural Engineer as a specialty. Most general Civil Engineers are involved in land development, surveying and also do light structural design (i.e. wood structures under 3 stories, wall and structures that are not government buildings, hospitals)

Hi there,\n\n"Civil engineering is the oldest branch of the profession of engineering after military engineering. Many of the important things in our lives that we take for granted are the product of civil engineering." It includes the construction of dams, paths, roads, sewage plants, etc.\n\nEverything is clearly explained at : http://whatiscivilengineering.csce.ca/

Talk with the civil engineering department to see if you can become a graduate assistant. Most graduate assistantships pay for your schooling and some even offer a stipend along with it. I was a graduate assistant and got both my Masters paid for in full, which helped me to put that "experience" on my resume that all employers are looking for.

i would say civil engineering. it always seemed the most interesting to me. (building roads, bridges, etc.) and i think the demand is pretty  consistent every year.

I live right near Hunstville and currently have a job here.  Just look into some engineering field that would best suit your skills... engineering's all over the place here.  The baby boomers are getting old, so people are now starting to retire.  And there aren't as many engineering students coming out of college since you don't have a communist scare like you did back in the 50's, 60's, and 70's.  That means that there should be plenty of jobs here.  Just keep looking... you'll find one soon!

If I were you I would try posting my resume and see what happens with that, and you can also try looking in the newspaper alot of time they have alot of really good jobs posted in the paper. just try it you might have alot of luck with it.

If you have recently gradurated from college, or have one nearby, check with the Career and Employment Center. Even if you do not go to that particular college, services like this are usually open to the public.  See if they can steer you in the right direction on finding what you are looking for.  At the very least, they should be able to get you the names of companies looking for construction engineers.  You can also ask the librarian at your nearest library.  They should definetly be able to steer you in the right direction!  Hope this helps!

I am a civil engineer, university second. Don't worry about subjects and topics. May I ask you a question?\nWHen did you start walking, running, speaking,A B C D etc.\n Just GO for it.

As is the case with many engineers, I have a degree in mechanical engineering but over my 35 year career I have done a lot of different things.\n\nI have done field construction involving concrete, structural steel, electrical, instrumentation, pressure vessels, heat exchangers, boilers, pumps, engines, turbines and electric generators.\n\nI have done project engineering on many projects from a few thousand dollars to millions of dollars. I have also does project management on projects up to $100,000,000.\n\nI have written specifications for equipment and projects. Designed equipment, systems and processes.\n\nI have worked in operating plants as a plant engineer and supervisor. I have also solved operating problems in plants involving equipment, systems and processes.\n\nI have have done cost estimates for small and large projects.\n\nI have been involved in safety and hazard analysis and reliability reviews.\n\nI have helped train new engineers and helped them as they developed their skills.\n\nIn all I have developed skills in just about all areas of engineering and along the way had a lot of fun and satisfaction. Oh, I also earned a ton of money along the way.

you can use the articl in managment field of engineering or industrial engineering .they are able to control the perojects better than civil engineers.but searching the pdf files in internet need to charje the owner site, you have to go to your university site center becuse thay may be pay the charje of this articles

The Natioanal Park Service employees two types of civil engineers, Construction and Design.\n\nConstruction Civil Engineers are responsible for conducting on-site inspections of construction sites and monitoring of construction activities in the NPS system.  They are the interface between the construction workers in the parks and the NPS.\n\nDesigns Civil Engineers create the plans and monitor construction activites for civil type projects in the parks (i.e. roadways, utilities, drainage, etc.).
