is civil engineering  in demand?

very much so, go for it\ni'm ME, this is also demanding

I would choose civil engineering.  You will make more money in the long run & you will be able to choose any location in the world to work.  Hospitality is good too but there will be non traditional work hours & places.  That's just my opinion. Talk to experienced people in both trades for thoughtful insight.

Just about any field of engineering is performed in a nice, air conditioned office, behind a desk and computer screen.  However, design engineers are responsible to see that their designs are implemented properly and perform the desired function.  For the civil engineer, that will necessitate travel to the job location not only for preliminary site surveys but to review work in progress and to resolve problems that develop during construction.  But this may only be a small percentage of your time.\n\nIf you decide to go into civil engineering, I highly recommend that you also become certified in structural engineering.  A civil engineer may be able to build a road, but they can't build bridges.  It will require additional study, but will be well worth it.\n\nBy the way, electrical engineers many times have to go outside, too.  I know.  I am one.

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/

after political pork barrel pandering/pondering, the possibilities of placement are prepared\n\nthen civil engineers spend many hours calculating how big each piece of the structure should be to make it safe, and how large a foundation will be needed so that it doesnt fall over or sink into the ground.\n\nafter that its just construction

Depends what you are looking for and interested in.  Petroleum engineers take a large amount of chemistry classes and are one of the highest engineering disciplines.  Part of the reason they are highly compensated is because they usually work on a rig in the middle of the ocean, or in a country other than the US.\n\nOn the other hand, civil engineers usually work in an office, can usually find work in any location they choose, and are on the low end of the engineering pay scale.  Civil engineers do not take as much chemistry as petroleum engineers, but take more classes related to the statics and mechanics of materials that involve complex algebra and some calculus.

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

Go to wikipedia.com\nand search civil engineering....

Engineering uses a lot of mathematical procedures - and with some physics background too i would have thought with a short training period you would have been an ideal candidate.\n\nI am a maths graduate and my husband an engineering graduate and there are always takers for people with those kinds of qualifications. (beats BA 'leisure studies' dont you think?)

An engineer facilitates the implementation of real world solutions to projects requiring not only planning and production but hands on completion as well.  It's a wonderfully rewarding gig if you can get it, especially in telecommunications.  I love my job !!

I totally agree with the ACI answer.  \n\nCheck out companies that have Materials Labs.  Geotechnical engineering companies often have a materials lab and a special inspecting department too, they all go hand in hand. You can join APWA or ASCE to network.  They have monthly meetings all over the country.

Civil engineering does include the study of underground water, water movement, contamination, water replenishing and storage.\n\nThe study of contamination and replenishment of a water supply has become a major concern for cities which may have to buy water outside of the city limits. Radon is a hazard for many wells today and growing concern.

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).

No education is a bad choice..\n\nIf you are interested in Civil.. The chances that you do better in your Civil Engineering studies are more..\n\nAlso.. All engineering fields are good - Civil is evergreen.. Don't lissen to people saying civil is bad!\n\nIf you like it Go for it! - If you don't It's Still your Option..

i'm not sure which would make more money in North America but right now I'm just finishing first year studying civil engineering in Glasgow, Scotland. It just depends if you're more into the designing side of things or the technical side. On my course there are people who are studying both civil eng and architecture so maybe you should think about doing that to give you a view of both subjects? Good luck!

no, its stating that there are lots of high tech jobs available but not enough folks to fill them.

It is possible.   But it boils down to supply and demands.\nSome type of engineering require domestic engineers and not consulting services.   But the number are limited.\nThere are demands in US and canada but don't know the supply situation.   There may be fewer engineering students than before also.
