What is Civil Engineering?

Civil Engineering is at the heart of the built environment - everything we design, build, and use in our daily lives. From roads and railways, to schools, hospitals, water and power supplies, and much more.

Civil engineers shape the world around us. They design, create, and maintain the infrastructure that connects communities and makes towns and cities safe, sustainable, and resilient places to live.
